open system and atmosphere
« on: March 04, 2009, 08:22:04 PM »
hello everyone,

what are differences between open system and atmosphere? I have a statement that I really confused to rephrase it..

"Addition of volatile organic solvent will be much lower to the atmosphere even if open systems are used"

I am confused and afraid if the meaning will be not exactly the same after rephrasing this statement..

Without context it doesn't mean anything, at least to me.

In addition to what Borek: said, it's hard to know what you're trying to do, and what you've done.  You said you have to rephrase it, or you did rephrase it?  Are you translating from one language to another?  Or were you given a word jumble to unscramble, just for the fun of it?  Because if you have no context for us, that's what it sounds like.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
