Nitrogen Monoxide - NO
Nitrogen Monoxide - NO
Find here the main information on the nitrogen monoxide (NO) or " nitrogen oxide As its physical characteristics, its health effects, the means of detecting it (gas detector NO) as well as adapted respiratory protection equipment (combined ABEK1NOCO20-P3 type filter or insulating respirator).
Main features of nitrogen monoxide (NO)
The Nitrogen monoxide (NO) sometimes named "Nitrogen oxide" of anthropogenic origin is released by the contact between nitric acid and many compounds. It is found in the wood industry (sawdust), explosive (dynamite), metals (engraving) and in high temperature welding activities. This gas, partly responsible for air pollution is created by the combustion of diesel in the engines, hence its presence in the underground car park.
Effects of nitrogen monoxide on health
Nitrogen oxide is a gas odor ranging from sweetster to pungent as early as 0.3 ppm. Quite soluble in water, it reacts with the water molecules contained in the body to form very corrosive nitric acid (or azotic acid). Extremely toxic by inhalation (R26) and likely to cause chemical burns (R34), it has irreversible effects (poison gas) if the individual is regularly exposed.
GAS DETECTOR NO (Nitrogen Monoxide)
Although identifiable by its smell, only a gas detector no can accurately measure the concentrations of this highly toxic gase, we will move towards a Detection of fixed or portable nitrogen monoxide.
For calibration and gas tests of your fixed gas or laptop detectors, nitrogen monoxide gas cylinder is available.
Nitrogen monoxide respiratory protection (NO)
The nitrogen monoxide is toxic and asphyxiating with significant risks of suffocation, we will focus on an open circuit (ARICO) or a complete mask with cartridge Combined ABEK1NOCO20-P3 For very short interventions at low concentration.
