It is a device for monitoring air quality, typically within a building, to warn against the build-up of explosive gases such as propane, methane, or gasoline vapor. These devices are commonly used in manufacturing facilities using highly volatile solvents (eg for degreasing) or storage facilities for such chemicals.

Inexpensive, single-gas alarms (eg for propane) are avail for approximately $50 for recreational vehicles, to guard against a tank or line leak. Industrial grade monitors which provide telemetry back to a SCADA system will be many times that price.

As for chemical detectors of explosives and such, the most common detector is a sniffing dog and his guide and the most precise and sensitive detector is a sniffing dog with his guide. Plus dogs have their own intelligent decisionmaking and can learn a lot.

The three categories of explosives are?

The three categories of explosives are: high explosives, including dynamite and TNT, which detonate with a supersonic shockwave; low explosives, such as black powder and gunpowder, which deflagrate with a subsonic burn rate; and secondary explosives, like RDX and PETN, which are more powerful and sensitive than primary explosives like TNT.
