1. A monitoring system for monitoring a gas composition of air, breathing air or breathing gases in airplanes or aircraft, the monitoring system comprising:
a monitoring system mobile module configured as a construction that is to be arranged in or at clothing of an aviator, pilot, copilot or aircrew and/or to be worn, carried, or attached to the aviator, pilot, copilot or aircrew;
a sensor mechanism carried by the mobile module and configured as a paramagnetic oxygen sensor configured to provide a qualitative and quantitative measurement-based detection of oxygen based on paramagnetic properties of oxygen, wherein the sensor mechanism further comprises a sensor configured as a carbon dioxide sensor;
a control unit carried by the mobile module and configured to organize a procedure of a measurement-based monitoring of the gas composition of air, breathing air or breathing gases with the sensor mechanism in an airplane or aircraft, and to control or regulate the procedure of the measurement-based monitoring of the gas composition of air, breathing air or breathing gases in the airplane or aircraft, wherein the procedure of the measurement-based monitoring comprises a qualitative and quantitative measurement-based detection of a concentration of oxygen with the paramagnetic oxygen sensor, wherein the procedure of the measurement-based monitoring further comprises a qualitative and quantitative measurement-based detection of a concentration of carbon dioxide with the sensor mechanism; and
a gas transport module carried by the mobile module and comprising a pump, configured as a piezoelectrically driven pump, with a gas port for connection with a measured gas line to deliver quantities or partial quantities of breathing gas or breathing air from a measuring point, via the measured gas line, to the sensor mechanism.
