2.2 The hazardous <strong>gas</strong>es<br />
Based on Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the definition<br />
<strong>of</strong> hazardous <strong>gas</strong> is defined as those chemical present in the workplace which are<br />
capable <strong>of</strong> causing harm. From the definition <strong>of</strong> the hazardous <strong>gas</strong>, the chemical term<br />
refer to dust, mixtures and common materials such as paints, fuels and solvents.<br />
According to the limitation <strong>of</strong> the LPG <strong>gas</strong>, OSHA mentioned that exposes over<br />
1000ppm <strong>of</strong> LPG <strong>gas</strong> will cause hazard to the human respiration <strong>system</strong>[7]. Therefore,<br />
this value is used as the threshold value for the project. Meanwhile, the alcohol <strong>gas</strong><br />
threshold value was chosen to be half value from the graph <strong>of</strong> the <strong>gas</strong> sensor<br />
2.3 Sensors and Instrumentation<br />
The initial data receiver came from the <strong>gas</strong> sensor. Study on the working<br />
principle <strong>of</strong> <strong>gas</strong> sensor needs to be done in order to understand where the voltage output<br />
came from. Besides that, zigbee will also be an important component that needs to be<br />
analyzed for data transferring by <strong>wireless</strong>. Therefore, the following subsection explained<br />
the <strong>gas</strong> sensor and zigbee working principle working.
