Interesting. We never used these types of aids.  Just as a reference, an ammonia leak would have to be extremely small to be able to use such an item, since the ammonia is under a lot of pressure, and  if it's out of control by valves, you'd need protection to get close.  I can certainly see the use, in a remote, field condition situation, as in a tiny leak in a large tank.  Thanks for the conversation

Yet    again commercial businesses in the residential areas.

 

A well known NDT company in Thailand keeps its radioactive sources in a house in a gated village in the suburbs of Bangkok. I have personally seen it.

 

There is absolutely no proper risk assessment done that factors in the danger to the public for most commercial activities in Thailand.

100 km from any chemical processing in Thailand, would be a long way from civilisation.
 

Maybe the poster should consider contacting Elon Musk, no chemical works on Mars, but wait you have that risk of the rocket and the fuel. 5555555

 

The Thai Government have already mandated that all those types of commercial activities will be restricted to the EEC on the Eastern Seaboard, and not permitted elsewhere in the country. 

 

A long, long way to go before that is the reality, but that is the vision.
