A system for monitoring gases including sample, dilution, test, and control subsystems. The sample subsystem has a gas probe assembly defining a first end of a sample line and disposed in an area or adjacent to an object to be monitored. A sample pump in the sample line provides a positive motive force for drawing a sample and a sample pressure detector provides a sample pressure signal which is proportional to the sample flow rate. The dilution subsystem includes a dilution line having a first end vented to atmosphere. A dilution pump mounted in the dilution line provides a positive motive force for drawing the dilution air and a dilution pressure detector provides a dilution pressure signal which is proportional to the dilution flow rate. The test subsystem includes a test line having a first end in fluid communication with the second ends of the sample and dilution lines. At least one gas sensor senses the presence of a gas in the test line and provides a gas signal proportional to the level of sensed gas in the test line.
