Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have developed a glove that warns harmful substances in the air by changing colors immediately after exposure.

Normally, laboratories spend a lot of time and money to ensure a safe work environment. Because the toxic substances often do not taste or color characteristics, the detection of them is very difficult. The toxic warnings are designed to help the laboratory staff identify the poison as early and clearly as possible.

This special glove is made from a dyed fabric containing special sensor particles, allowing it to react quickly to the presence of certain substances such as carbon monoxide or hydrogen sulfide by switching to blue immediately. When this warning sign appears, laboratory workers will know what type of poison has leaked into the air.

The dyestuffs are versatile, suitable for a variety of production processes, including screen printing, so it can be applied to protective clothing that employees use. The laboratory is using. This dye can also be combined with other substances to help detect gas leaks as well as identify food spoilage.
