Can you clarify "expensive"? What is your basis for saying that?
I ask because there are certainly relatively cheap gas sensors already in
use by the hacker community for various gas analysis; CO2, CO,O3, Methane,
O3, Alcohol, LPG, etc.
Here are examples from one supplier:

Perhaps these aren't appropriate for use in space projects (robustness,
size, accuracy, energy requirements, etc)?

of what would constitute suitable project proposals for HSP funding ...
once we get to the point that we have funds, of course  ;)
