Mike:
I am not sure I understand your reasoning for banishing the term “vapor density.” If I look at the MSDA and find the product has a vapor density <1.0 can I not draw reliable information from this data? In conducting an investigation is it not important to have such knowledge?
A number of my scenes have involved hazardous material sites. I needed as much knowledge about the areas I was entering to conduct the investigation. I do understand your comments about the different definition and them not being perfectly correct.
