A method of measuring gas, vapor and aerosol components in an air sample, using a gas detecting device, includes a glass tube having openable ends for the flow of test gas therethrough and a filter therein entraining components to be measured, comprises, breaking an ampoule of a liquid solvent for the materials entrained by the filter to cause the solvent to pass through the filter into a granular reaction layer and then through an empty chamber. The testing tube includes a liquid lock which is formed by a hydrophobic paper which is disposed downstream of the empty chamber so as to retain the reacting products in the chamber so they may be viewed. The reactant products undergo a color change in proportion to a substance to be detected, such as sulfuric acid, for example. |
