Our Crowcon experts know a thing or two about gases so thought it might be interesting to share some interesting facts with you!
Crowcon’s ‘Talking Gas’ series will share with you some interesting facts and figures about the gases that pose a danger to us. We will also talk about how our products and systems work hard to protect people and the environment from the dangers and help our customers make the world a safer place.
Our Talking Gas series will take you on a journey through the Crowcon periodic table (remember your chemistry classes?) and talk about the famous, infamous and downright weird gases that are all around us. We will also talk about how ensuring you have the right gas detection system in place can protect people and the environment.
A new gas will be added every month.
The more knowledge you have, the safer you can keep you workplace – and your employees – so bookmark this page as your gas resource.
