The vapour concentration of the material above which no further volatilization can take place; it can be computed from: Cs=1315.12(R)[superscript-1](P)(MW)(T)-1 where Cs is the saturation concentration (mg/m3); R is the Universal Gas Constant (0.08205 L-atm/mol-K); P is the vapour pressure (mm Hg); T is the temperature (K) (Temperature (degree C) + 273.16); MW is the gram molecular weight of the material; 1315.12 is the conversion factor (from mm Hg to ppm).
