americinium is used in smoke detectors to check for smoke
No, NASA did not invent smoke detectors. Smoke detectors were actually invented by George Andrew Darby in 1902. NASA has, however, improved smoke detectors for use in spacecraft and space stations.
Masterguard Smoke Detectors are made in Coppell, TX.
Smoke detectors are devices that detect smoke. They are used as warning devices in houses to warn people of fire.
The purpose of a breaker for smoke detectors is to provide a way to easily turn off the power supply to the smoke detectors in case of a false alarm or when maintenance is needed. This helps ensure the safety and proper functioning of the smoke detectors.
Photoelectric smoke detectors use a light beam to detect smoke particles, while ionization smoke detectors use radioactive particles to detect smoke. Photoelectric detectors are better at detecting smoldering fires, while ionization detectors are more sensitive to fast-flaming fires.

To properly dispose of smoke detectors, you should check the manufacturer's instructions for specific disposal guidelines. In general, you can contact your local waste management facility to see if they accept smoke detectors for recycling or proper disposal. It is important to follow proper disposal methods to prevent harm to the environment.
There are several types of smoke detectors that can be used in the home. Interlinked smoke detectors can interlink smoke and heat detectors for better convenience. Also, wireless units can be configured specifically to your needs. More safety and smoke detector information can be found on: http://www.safelincs.co.uk/Smoke-Alarms/
To properly dispose of smoke detectors through recycling, you can check with your local waste management facility or recycling center to see if they accept them. Some manufacturers also offer mail-back programs for recycling old smoke detectors. Be sure to remove the batteries before recycling.
The element used in smoke detectors and named after the US is Americium (Am). It is a radioactive element commonly found in household smoke detectors to detect smoke particles in the air.
