An air analyzer is used to analyze the air quality in and around employee work areas. It may be used to detect things like flammable vapor conditions (lower explosive limit [LEL]), poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S), carbon monoxide (CO) and any oxygen (O2) deficiency (19.5% or below) or enrichment (23.5% or above) in the air.[1]

Air analyzers may be used to test air for a variety of required and optional tests, including for asbestos, gases and other potentially hazardous materials.[2]
