| Abstract |
The article discusses an evaluation of the emission of perchloroethylene (tetrachloroethylene) from freshly dry cleaned fabrics using small environmental test chambers. The temperature dependence of the release of perchloroethylene was evaluated over a temperature range of 20 to 45 C. A linear relation exists between the logarithm of perchloroethylene retention time and the reciprocal of the absolute temperature. Study results for 100% wool and 55% polyester/45% wool indicate that 'airing out' freshly dry cleaned fabrics at above ambient temperature will increase the rate at which perchloroethylene is emitted from the fabrics. |
