| dc.description.abstract | Chlorine is one of the pollutants released during solid waste treatment, chemical process or chemical reaction in some laboratory activities. Ailments of various effects ranging from pollutions caused to the environment, human health and services are some of those recent challenges reported to be caused by the gas. Exposure can cause ailments to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract. In this study, a modified quantification method of chlorine, (Cl2) in indoor air was demonstrated. The acid gas is detected using an "Improved Filtration Process" in which treated filters replaced impingers initially utilized by conventional pollutant gases quantifiers. Experiments were conducted and assessments were based on an indoor air contents. Results indicate the ability of the new method to assess some quantity of chlorine gas within the vicinity. Suitability of the methods were also reviewed and assessed. Based on the results obtained, the improved method was found to be effective and relevant. | en_US |
