# Poisonous Gas-Detecting Wristbands The Morphix Chameleon is Designed to Sniff Out Harmful Scents By Michael Hines | Published 2011-10-02 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morphix-chameleon References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2011/09/30/morphix-wrist-chemical-detection/) & [morphtec](http://www.morphtec.com/html/chameleon.html) If you constantly fear being poisoned by odorless gas, then take a close look at the Morphix Chameleon. The device is a wristband designed to detect poisonous gasses in the air. The Morphix Chameleon does not require batteries or solar energy to function, and is designed to stand up to intense heat, cold and wetness. The Chameleon's sensors change colors when a high concentration of the gas is detected. The wristband can detect an impressive 11 gases, which are: Ammonia, Sulfur Dioxide, Phosphine, Phosgene, Iodine, Hydrogen Sulfide, Hydrazine, Dioborane, Chlorine/Fluorine, and a variety of high pH and low pH gases. The Morphix Chameleon was originally designed for military use, but like all good pieces of military equipment such as the Humvee and M16, it is now available for civilian purchase. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gas-detecting Wearable Technology:** The rise of wearable technology that can detect poisonous gases presents opportunities for personal safety and health monitoring. - **Battery-free Sensor Technology:** Advancements in battery-free sensor technology open up possibilities for low maintenance and sustainable gas detection systems. - **Multi-gas Detection:** The development of devices capable of detecting multiple gases simultaneously enhances safety measures in various industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Personal Safety:** The gas-detecting wristband technology can be applied in personal safety industries, such as security services or hazardous work environments. - **Healthcare:** In the healthcare industry, gas-detecting wearable technology can be utilized to monitor air quality in hospitals and detect potential gas leaks. - **Industrial Safety:** Industries dealing with hazardous materials, such as chemical plants or oil refineries, can benefit from the multi-gas detection technology for increased workplace safety. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nicotine-Detecting Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinworn-sensor.md) - [Wearer-Analyzing Respirators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebcare-mask.md) - [Portable Methanol Analytical Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analytical-device.md) - [Safe Operating Environment-Focused Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-sampler.md) - [Smell-Based Disease Detectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diagnoze.md) - [Health-Tracking Swimmer Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soswim-safety-bracelet.md) - [Aggressive Frog-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-master-of-g-frogman-gw8200tpf1.md) - [Noninvasive Breathing Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-breath-analysis.md) - [Bird-Like CO2-Monitoring Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdie-1.md)
