Building Your Recon Toolbox

For reconnaissance teams at hazardous materials incidents, responders typically use a combination of 4-gas monitors, PID sensors, gamma detectors, temperature guns, and colorimetric papers. However, these tools have limitations due to cross-sensitivity issues, leading to potentially inaccurate readings and less reliable risk assessments. The XplorIR® offers a significant improvement by providing real-time identification of gases and vapors, reducing the problem of false readings and enabling more accurate risk assessments. By incorporating XplorIR, responders can more quickly and safely determine the presence of specific hazards, such as Hydrogen Fluoride or Carbon Dioxide, making it an essential addition to standard reconnaissance toolbox.
