A gas leaks lead to personal and financial damage. Much effort has been
dedicated to preventing such leaks and developing reliable techniques for
leak detection and leakage localization using sensors. These sensors usually
sound an alarm after detecting a dangerous gas in its vicinity. This paper
describes a system for detecting a gas leakage from cylinders which notifies
the user via the GSM network. The system consists of an LPG gas leakage
detector which sends a warning signal to Arduino Uno Microcontroller.
The system uses the GSM network to send notifications, a liquid crystal
display (LCD) monitor to display the warning message and buzzer to sound
the alert.

1. INTRODUCTION
The The use of gas for medical purposes is often vital, therefore the gas cylinder warehouse is
considered an integral part of any hospital. Hospitals usually have even an extensive gas supply network that
deliver a number of different types of gases to vaious locations inside the hospital such as patient and
operating rooms [1, 2]. For safety reasons, hospitals must have a smart gas leakage monitoring system.
This system becomes even more useful and effective when it is linked to global system for mobile
communication (GSM). Mohammed et al [3-6] that way, the system will be capable of sending a warning
message to the hospital´s saftey personals in case the system detects any gas leakage [7].
Hospitals, clinic, and community health institutions will be completely distinct from different work
ambiences [6, 8]. Tending frameworks are complicated and there exist several belongings that must be
comprehended and varieties of hospital systems, patient care, insurance, tending suppliers, and legal
problems [9-11]. There exists a good sort of health framework throughout the universe, conjointly since
several histories alongside healthcare frameworks as there exist several nations. Fundamentally, country
should style and frame health systems in connection with the wants and resources, through shared
components in just about all health frameworks are basically healthcare along with the health aspects
[4, 12, 13]. In various countries, health system coming up with is dispersed among market participants.
In many cases, there’s a united endeavor among governments, charities, trade unions, spiritual
establishments, or different coordinated bodies to afford planned healthcare offerings aimed at the
populations they focus on. On the contrary, healthcare has been represented in the form of a typical
biological process instead of revolutionary [14-16].
