Monoxide Sensor Device Prototype Development and Implementation in a Mechanic Shop Building

Abstract

Abstract - Carbon Monoxide is a dangerous component that primarily comes from incomplete combustion of carbon containing fuels. Is a gas with no odor, color or taste , have approximately the same density as air. Is often called “the silent killer”. At lower levels of exposure can have the same effects of a flu. This project will investigate the development of a carbon monoxide sensor monitor prototype, to be applied over a proposal for a diesel fumes vacuum extraction system. Carbon Monoxide is one of the components in diesel exhaust emissions. The application area is a mechanic shop building with multiple working bays. Key Terms - Carbon Monoxide (CO), Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), Particles per Million (PPM), Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL).
