Vape Detection
Facing the Rise of Vaping in Schools
Vaping has become one of the fastest-growing concerns among schools and youth facilities. Discreet, smokeless, and often difficult to detect, vape devices—including those used for nicotine, THC, and other substances—create serious health, behavioral, and safety challenges.
Traditional smoke detectors cannot identify vaping. Staff cannot be everywhere at once.
Fortunately, that’s where SONITROL specializes.
