1. A system for monitoring air samples for potentially unacceptable levels of contaminants and communicating to a remote location when contaminates are detected, the system comprising:

  • a contaminant detection device adapted to collect air samples at a remediation site and to analyze said air samples directly, while at said site, to determine if contaminants exist in the air samples;

    an audio signal generator connected to said detection device for producing an audio signal instantaneously when the detection device indicates that unacceptable contamination levels exist in the air samples;

    an automatic audio transmitter for transmitting said audio signal to a remote location;

    a remote audio receiver for receiving said audio signal from said transmitter, independent of any direct physical connection between said audio receiver and said transmitter, and alerting an individual who hears said audio signal at said audio receiver that the contamination signal has occurred at the detection device; and

    a portable weatherproof enclosure including an exterior warning means visible from a distance suitable for stand alone usage in an outdoors environment independent of the need for human operator intervention, within which said audio signal generator, said audio transmitter and said contamination detection device are contained.
