Answer:
The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.
Explanation:
Number of hours worker exposed to xylene =
The concentration of xylene in the workplace =
The worker is inhaling air at a rate of .
Amount xylene inhaled by worker in an hour :
=
Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours:
1 μg = 0.001 mg
Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours = 11.520 mg
1 day = 24 hours
Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 1 day:
Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake of xylene :
The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.
