  The aim of this work is to develop a prototype of integrated detector system
to monitor environmental hazard: appearance of flames, smoke, sparks or
dangerous gases (flammable, toxic, radioactive). We built and successfully
tested prototypes of all components of the system. Our sensors are based on
established CERN technologies and have superior characteristics, featuring
between 10 to 1000 times higher sensitivity than the best commercial sensors.
The final version of our device would consist of multifunctional sensors
assembled in a single unit; each sensor will perform a specific task and
deliver information to a common computing centre via cellular or satellite
phone protocols.
