Some detector tubes or pretreatment tubes contain toxic substances such as mercury, lead, hexavalent chromium, and selenium. Whether tubes contain toxic substances or not is stated in each instruction manual, so please refer to the instruction manual and follow rules and regulations of your local government to dispose the tubes properly regardless of whether they have been used or not.
The instruction manuals of all our detector tubes are available on GASTEC website. You can find the multilingual instruction manuals in English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian in the following link.
