CFCs have a high chlorine content and have been linked strongly to ozone depletion and global warming. HCFCs were considered an improvement when they were first introduced, as they have lower chlorine and

This article was originally featured on Design News.   Detecting the presence of harmful gases was a necessity for early miners as well as manufacturers and consumers at the start of the industrial revolution. One of the first gas detectors was a flame safety lamp (or Davy lamp) invented by English inventor Sir Humphry Davy in 1815. The
