2. Why Are ALL Fumigation Gas Measurements Wrong Unless they Have Pressure, Temperature & Flow Correction?

3. “If you are not monitoring you are not fumigating.”
Dosage is not concentration
No reaction is 100% quantitative conversion
Leakage from the structure…IS IT SEALED?
Sorption of gas from free space onto product & packaging

4. 10-25% Total Error MB Quarantine Fumes
FOIA USDA Data*
Different Temp and Pressure on Day of Calibration Vs. Day of USE?
a 1% error is observed for every 3C uncorrected temperature change
a fixed error of 1% for every 7.6 mm change in pressure
Errors can easily be 4 g/M3 which is 7% in a 35g/M3 fumigation.
Thermoconductivity monitors give a 12 g/M3 FALSE response for every 1% of CO2 present.
Reading of higher levels than actually present leads to under-dosage
Pump draw rates change sample pressures which changes sample density.
Different sample line lengths change pump pressure changing gas density
