Aerial Measurements of Hydrogen Chloride over the Incinerator Ship Vulcanus.
Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency asked the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine to aid in monitoring aerially a chemical-waste-incineration exhaust plume to obtain HCl concentration data as a function of altitude and distance. This report details the monitoring instrumentation, calibration procedures, and results obtained. Maximum concentration recorded during 3 monitoring missions was 3 ppm (below threshold limit value of 4 ppm) and occurred at about 800-ft altitude (243.8 m) and 0.25 miles (0.4 km) from the ship Vulcanus.
