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).
