1. A system for selecting an optimized number of sensors and an optimized placement of the sensors for sensing a hazardous substance released from a plurality of hazard points, the system comprising:

  • a processor; and

    a memory, wherein the memory has instructions stored therein that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;

    identify a location of a hazard point;

    identify a perimeter surrounding the hazard point;

    identify a threshold level for the hazardous substance;

    calculate a minimum amount of the hazardous substance for which a concentration at a centerline of a plume carrying the hazardous substance reaches the identified threshold level at the perimeter;

    simulate a release of the hazardous substance in the calculated minimum amount from the hazard point;

    calculate locations of a pair of sensors where a minimum level of concentration of the hazardous substance based on the simulated release is detectable by the pair of sensors; and

    output, via a display device, the locations of the pair of sensors, for prompting placement of the pair of sensors at the calculated locations.
