Abstract The concentrations of oxygen, flammable gases, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and organic gases and vapours in selected confined spaces such as wells, sewers and cable tunnels in China and Germany were determined. Portable detectors were used for the purpose. The results will be used to derive directives for the methods to be used for detecting explosive and toxic atmospheres in confined spaces.
