Abstract
The evaporation rates of small particles in aerosols of the following substances have been measured: 4−n−hexyl-1:3-resorcinol, 1, 1, 1-trichloro-2, 2−di (p−chlorphenyl)ethane (‘DDT’), 1, 1, 1−trichloro-2-p−chlorphenyl-2-o−chlorphenyl-ethane (‘op′-DDT’), γ-hexachloro-cyclo-hexane (‘BHC’, ‘Lindane’, ‘Gammexane’), ‘Dieldrin’ and azobenzene.The slit ultra-microscope method was used; a consideration of the experimental conditions leads to the conclusion that the results are of reliable quantitative significance.Keywords
