Not sure about chemical? But there are highly sensitivity alarm metres for detecting the leakage of liquid petroleum gas (LPG, butane, propane etc), and natural gas. One method I once used to find a leaking joint on a gas cooker was to apply washing-up liquid round the joints until a joint bubbling up pin-pointed the leak.

How do you detect a leakage in LPG?
Besides electronic detectors, there are 2 common means. The first is smell. A chemical- mercaptan- is added to LPG that gives it a horrible smell. The second is bubbles. Connections in piping can be checked for leaks with a soap solution. If it is leaking, it makes bubbles at the point of the leak.
