Reliable CO2 Gas Monitoring in The Production of Medical Cannabis

In industrial cannabis production, gas monitoring in the extraction room and at the supply lines is essential, as CO2 displaces the oxygen in the ambient air and thus endangers human life. Furthermore, gas (e.g. methanol, propane, butane or carbon monoxide) is also used in greenhouse cultivation to promote growth and heat and must be permanently detected.
