smoke detection
Combustion particle monitoring
Smoke detection is the process or technology of sensing the presence of smoke, typically as an early warning of fire.
Smoke detectors are ubiquitous safety devices in homes and buildings, required by code in most jurisdictions.
They work by sensing either the particles or the ionization changes that smoke produces in air.
The building's smoke detection system triggered an automatic alarm.
