Chemical & Gas Sensors

Overview

Chemical and gas sensors play a vital role in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and public health systems. These technologies are designed to detect, identify, and quantify chemical substances and gas concentrations in various settings. In Afghanistan, where industrial development, mining, oil and gas exploration, and public infrastructure are evolving, the demand for reliable detection systems is growing rapidly. Chemical and gas sensors are indispensable in helping both private and public sector organizations maintain safety, comply with environmental standards, and respond to emergencies involving hazardous substances.
