A process engineer proposes a new solvent that will reduce the quantities required by the process and significantly reduce the quantities of solvent vapors released to the air inside the plant.The new solvent is trichloroethylene and it is expected to reduce the solvent vapors absorbed into the plant air by 20% by volume as compared to the old solvent (Stoddard solvent).You are called in as a Certified Safety Professional to evaluate the proposed change to the process.Do you support the proposed process change? Explain your position.
