A group of researchers from the Department of Molecular Recognition and Technological Development (DDM) has developed an electronic device that changes color when it detects the presence of carbon monoxide, which can improve safety in industries and households braziers are used.

This gas is produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels such as gasoline, coal, or wood appliances such as boilers, water heaters or cooking stoves and can cause death if inhaled without the account is affected, so a device this type can have multiple applications to improve security.
The device, which has been developed by researchers at the Joint Center of the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the University of Valencia, can instantly know the exact concentration of carbon monoxide, from a violet color to a yellow-orange in the presence this gas.
