Future Apple Watches will be able to detect poisonous gases

Tiny sensors will allow the Apple Watch, but also any iDevice, to detect poisonous gases and warn us of the impending danger.

 ΠThis is a very useful function, especially in the case of odorless, tasteless and colorless carbon monoxide.

In a recent post the Patently Apple caught an Apple patent filed in June 2017 entitled "Chemically Robust Miniature Sensors”. This patent refers to a tiny sensor, which can be integrated into a device and allow it to detect specific gases.

The gases that can be detected are ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen monoxide (NO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO). , as well as other flammable organic matter. If Apple does implement its plans, then future Apple Watches will be able to detect gases, such as the extremely dangerous carbon monoxide, which is odorless, tasteless and colorless. Prolonged exposure to CO leads to hypoxia (reduction of oxygen in the blood) and consequently death.
