Problem 8. 5-12. An 800-lb tank of chlorine is stored at a water treatment plant. A study of the release sce- narios indicates that the entire tank contents could be released as vapor in a period of 10 min. For chlorine gas, evacuation of the population must occur for areas where the va- por concentration exceeds the ERPG-1. Without any additional information, estimate the distance downwind that must be evacuated.
