Gas Analysers and Solutions for the CEMS Market
Gas Analyzer to Protect Humans from Serious Health Effects is Launched
Formaldehyde can cause acute health problems and possibly even cancer. With the new portable product, GASERA ONE FORMALDEHYDE, from Gasera Ltd, we can monitor the indoor and outdoor background levels reliably for the fi rst time.
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a pungent odor. Formaldehyde levels above 0.1 ppm can cause acute health problems, e.g. sore throat, skin irritation, nausea, scratchy eyes and cough. It is also classifi ed as highly carcinogenic compound. Exposure to moderate amounts of formaldehyde has been linked to cancer, such as leukemia. However, the full effect of exposure to small amounts and all of the effects are still unknown.
Formaldehyde can be found in both small and signifi cant concentrations in various environments. Industrial emissions, traffi c, building materials, cooking, and tobacco smoking are sources of formaldehyde. Also many everyday products, such as cosmetics, furniture, and detergents contain formaldehyde. High levels of formaldehyde are often found in new homes or homes with new construction. Formaldehyde is a signifi cant emission from biofuel usage, which is increasing. It is expected that biofuel combustion will have a signifi cant effect on increasing formaldehyde levels, especially in urban areas.
Some people are more sensitive to formaldehyde than others.
“Formaldehyde exposure is a special concern for children, elderly, and people with breathing problems, such as asthmatics. Children may become sensitive to formaldehyde more easily than adults. Elderly people are usually less tolerant to high formaldehyde exposures, leading to lower risk of becoming sick. Formaldehyde exposure may precipitate asthmatics attacks,” says Gasera’s CEO, Ismo Kauppinen.
SW Technology sagl is a Swiss company providing gas analysers and auxiliary equipment for the CEMS market. At AQE 2017, on Stand 40, SW Technology presents the two new-born analysers targeted at the hot CEMS extractive systems market.
The fi rst, qLDX, measures ammonia in the range 0 – 15 ppm and water in the range 0-30% by mean of a TDLS cell, while the second, qOXY, measures oxygen on the range 0 - 25%, through a self-heated zirconia probe.
Both instruments are under EN 15267 QAL1 certifi cation at TUV in Germany that will end in May 2017. They are provided with a wide range of digital interfaces in order to facilitate the release of custom tailored and third party branded products.

Until today, formaldehyde has been diffi cult to monitor with existing technologies. Now Gasera Ltd., a Finnish high-tech company, launches a disruptive analyzer, which is based on the proven technology of the GASERA ONE platform. It offers for the fi rst time an affordable and easy-to-use tool for continuously monitoring the background levels of formaldehyde. GASERA ONE FORMALDEHYDE analyzer can achieve below 1 ppb detection limit, which is well below the 16 ppb recommendation for occupational exposure limit by The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in the USA.
By solving this global and increasing measurement problem GASERA ONE FORMALDEHYDE has huge market potential, according to Kauppinen.
“A signifi cant advantage of the product is the intuitive interface, which is easy to use with a single knob or via your smart device. Thanks to its patented photoacoustic detection scheme combined with a quantum cascade laser source, it gives an exceptionally high level of stability with a re-calibration period ranging from several months up to several years, and thus it offers a low total cost of ownership,” says Kauppinen.

Mass Flow Devices Laser Gas Detection
Experience has shown that 10-20% of shipping containers contain dangerous levels of toxic gases and represent a major threat to people working in inspection, loading and unloading, and consumers. These gases are either fumigants or are arising from the packaging materials and goods. It is therefore essential that containers are tested before entry is permitted, but there is growing concern that insuffi cient numbers of containers are being tested properly.

A wide variety of test instruments are used for testing containers and it is vitally important that any limitations in the monitoring technique are understood. There is a growing move to monitoring technologies that are able to measure large numbers of gases simultaneously.
In this White Paper the sources of toxic chemicals and international regulations are
presented. In addition, the White Paper explains the advantages and limitations of the most commonly used monitoring technologies.
