The majority of the existing gases constitute a risk to the health of humans and the environment in general. There is a wide range of diseases that can arise as a result of exposure to toxic and dangerous gases, which can be a cause of death or serious health problems. More so, deadly explosions may occur as a result of leakages of such gases. However, such consequences can be avoided when these dangerous gases are not detected early. Many researchers have proposed different kinds of systems for the detection of gas leakage, but most of the proposed systems were mainly designed to detect LPG gas. Therefore, in this study, a system is proposed for detecting different kinds of flammable and toxic gases. The gases that are detectable by the proposed system include smoke, Ethanol, CNG Gas, Methane, toluene, propane, Carbon Monoxide, acetone, Hydrogen Gas, and Formaldehyde. The system can detect gases efficiently and release evacuation alarms simultaneously, then send SMS for emergencies. The proposed system is ready to use and can be installed at any work location.
