In many environments you will need to not only protect against fire, but also protect employees against
dangerous environments.
4.12.1 Gas Detection
For occupational health and safety reasons, there is a need to monitor for dangerous gases in many
environments. An example is the testing for the presence of the refrigeration gas ammonia in refrigerated
