Abstract:
1. A system for controlled delivery of a volatile compound in a vapor state at a biologically effective concentration within a geometrically shaped vapor volume, said system comprising: a compound-storing structure containing a supply of the volatile compound, the volatile compound contained therein being in a liquid state; at least one passive flow control nozzle for delivery of the volatile compound to the geometrically shaped vapor volume, the at least one nozzle comprising a mass-regulating barrier and a retaining member, the mass-regulating barrier maintaining the volatile compound in the liquid state within a contained volume within the compound-storing structure and permitting emission of the volatile compound only in the vapor state from the contained volume of the compound storing structure through the mass-regulating barrier; a delivery connector for maintained transport of the volatile liquid compound from the compound-storing structure to the at least one passive flow control nozzle; and at least one monitor for measuring a concentration level of the volatile compound in the vapor state within the geometrically shaped vapor volume and outside of the contained volume of the compound-storing structure to establish an effective dynamic boundary of the geometrically shaped vapor volume within which the biologically effective concentration of the volatile vapor compound is maintained.
