Abstract
An apparatus for detecting an intrusion of an environmental substance into an environmentally sealed electronic components package. The electronic components package generally includes a plastic coated or plastic enclosed electronic component, that includes a printed circuit board and/or integrated circuits. The intrusion of the environmental substance into the electronic components package can be measured by one of a plurality of monitors. The monitors can detect the presence of the environmental substance and alert a user that a break in the seal of the electronic components package has occurred.
