When concentrations of formaldehyde in the air exceed 33μg/ft3 1 μg=1 microgram=10−6 gram, a strong odor and irritation to the eyes often occurs. A room having floor dimensions of 10 ft by 10 ft and height of 7ft uses the equation   F=117,775x   to model the amount of formaldehyde F in the room after x days. How long will it take before a​ person's eyes become irritated in the​ room? A​ person's eyes will become irritated in the room after how many hours.
