Dry cleaning releases petroleum hydrocarbon solvents like nonane, decane, and undecane into the environment. These solvents evaporate from clothing over several days, indicating potential pollution from dry-cleaned garments.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry

Context:

  • Dry cleaning utilizes petroleum hydrocarbon solvents.
  • Assessing environmental impact of consumer products is crucial.

Purpose:

  • To quantify residual petroleum hydrocarbon solvents in dry-cleaned trousers.
  • To estimate the environmental pollution from evaporated solvents.

Summary:

  • Capillary column mass spectrometry identified nonane, decane, and undecane as principal solvents.
  • Evaporation rates and half-lives of these solvents from trousers were determined over five days.
  • Significant solvent concentrations remained, with varying decay rates.

Impact:

  • Provides data on the environmental persistence of dry cleaning solvents.
