Predicted & Measured: PERC
These results depict the concentration of tetrachloroethene (a suspected human carcinogen and common dry cleaning agent) in air adjacent to carpet. The symbols depict measured data. The solid line represents predicted values using a novel model developed at UT. The good comparison between predicted and measured values indicates that the model can be used for predicting levels of pollutants in indoor air after indoor contamination, and should be useful for establishing delay times prior to humans re-occupying a contaminated building.
