Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and CNT-based active materials have been used to assemble the gas sensing unit of\udinnovative platforms able to detect toxic atmospheres developing in confined workplaces. The main goal of the project\udwas to realize a full-featured, operator-friendly safety detection and monitoring system based on multifunctional textiles\udnanotechnologies. The fabricated sensing platform consists of a multiple gas detector coupled with a specifically\uddesigned telecommunication infrastructure. The portable device, totally integrated in the workwear, offers several\udadvantages over the conventional safety tools employed in industrial work activities
