Experimental data are provided on perfluorocarbon accumulation from atmospheric air in an industrial facility in Ukraine in the process of air treatment in a modern air-fractionating plant with production of krypton–xenon mixture. Comparison of the obtained data with the calculated values supports the proposition put forward by these authors regarding the crucial contribution of adsorption processes to the final outcome of perfluorocarbon accumulation in the end product. One can monitor the process of rise in perfluorocarbon content in the atmospheric air at the site of an industrial facility by determining the variation in perfluorocarbon accumulation in the end product (krypton–xenon mixture).
