•You wish to refinish your kitchen cabinets. You removed all thecabinet doors and laid them flat in your garage on a series ofsawhorses. At your local home improvement store you purchase agallon of the new EPA-compliant paint stripper that has 100% xyleneas the active ingredient. For data gathering, your garage measures18 ft x 25 ft x 9 ft. As well, being the good industrial hygienist,you leave the garage door open for added dilution ventilation(assume: 5 air changes per hour).
•The instructions on the can of stripper say to apply liberallyto the surface and allow to set for 30 minutes. You used a littlemore than a quarter of the container (for simplicity, call it aliter which equals 1.06 quarts).
•Determine the final xylene concentration in ppm. Whatprecautions, if any, should you take?
