| Abstract |
The report describes investigations on the stability of a number of substances in the 0.1 to 1000 ppm range stored for several hours to several days in 'Mylar' and 'Scotchpak' bags. The compounds investigated most include numerous olefins, form-aldehyde, acrolein, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Many other substances, including aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, crotonaldehyde, and alcohols, have been used in these bags but only qualitative or semi-quantitative information was obtained on their stability. Data also have been obtained on the stability of olefins, formaldehyde, acrolein, and nitrogen dioxide in samples of automobile exhaust effluents and diluted irradiated automobile exhaust stored in plastic bags. |
