Results
Twenty-one treatment experiments with KennelSol® APS Room “Shock” Deodorizer were conducted in a
two-month span. The individual data points are referenced in the Appendix (see Table 2). Average ClO 2
levels in the room air space, presented as parts-per-million-by-volume (ppmv), are displayed in Table 1. This
data is presented in graphical form in Figure 4.
The theoretical ClO2 levels were calculated assuming all ClO2 produced by the sachets accumulate in the
room air and is not consumed. The ClO2 generation expected of one sachet was determined by suspending a
sachet over 10% KI solution in an enclosed glass container, placing the container in an unlit cabinet and
analyzing via titration at 1-hour intervals for four hours. Theoretical and actual ClO 2 levels are presented in
Figure 5.
