Estimate the chronic daily intake of toluene from exposure to a city water supply that contains a toluene concentration equal to

the drinking water standard of 1 mg · L−1. Assume the exposed individual is an adult female who consumes water at the adult rate for 70 years, that she abhors swimming, and that she takes a long (20 minute) bath every day. Assume that the average air concentration of toluene during the bath is 1 µg · m−3. Assume the dermal uptake from water (PC) is 9.0 × 10−6 m · h−1 and that direct dermal absorption during bathing is no more than 80% of the available toluene because she is not completely submerged. Use the EPA lifetime exposure of 75 years.

Answer: the total chronic daily intake is  0.03296 mg/ kg.d  

Explanation:

First of  we have to determine the CDI due to ingestion of drinking water

so

CDI = (C x IR x EF x ED) / (BW x AT)     let leave this as equation 1

where C is the concentration of the life time risk of drinking water(1.0mg/L)

ED is the risk dying per year((70),

EF is the number of days per year(365 day/year)

BW is the weight of body(65.4)kg

AT is the average tenure time of life(75years)

IR = 2.3 L/days

so we substitute

CDI₁ = (1(mg/L) x 2.3(L/day) x 365 x 70) / (65.4 x 365 x 75)

= 3.29 x 10⁻² mg/kg.d  

next we determine the CDI due to dermal contact with water.  

find the ingestion rate which is equal to the exposure time in hour/day.

IR = ET

(20 min/day) /  (60 min/hour)

= 0.333 h/day

now lets substitute for CD1₂

1.0 mg/L for C , 0.333 h/day for m , 365 day/year for EF, 70 year for ED, 65.4 kg for Bw , and 75 year for AT

0.8 for submergence and 1.69m² for area of skin of adult female in our equation 1

CDI₂ = [(1 mg/1) × (1.69 m²) × (9.0 x 10⁻⁶(m/h)) × 0.333(h/day) x 365 x 70)) / (65.4 x 365 x 75)]  × ( 0.8 x 10³ L/m³)

CDI₂ = 5.41 x 10⁻⁵ mg/kg.d  

now we find the CDI due to inhalation during bath

we substitute 1.0 mg/L for C, 11.3m³/day for IR , 365 day/year for EF , 70 year for ED. 65.4 kg for BW , and 75 year for AT in our equation 1

CDI₃ = [( 1ug/m³ × 1mg/10³ug) x (11.3m³/day x 1day/24 hr) x 365 x 70)] / (65.4 kg x 365 x 75 )

= 6.71 x 10⁻⁶ mg/kg.d

finally we Calculate the total chronic daily intake value

CDI_total = CDI₁ + CDI₂ + CDI₃  

we substitute

CDI_total = 3.29 x 10⁻² + 5.41 x 10⁻⁵ + 6.71 x 10⁻⁶

= 0.03296 mg/kg.d  

so the total chronic daily intake is  0.03296 mg/ kg.d

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Evaporator,Compressor,Condensor ,Expanding valve

Explanation:

Split air conditioning :

  Split air conditioning means that, condensor unit or some time called outdoor unit is split from evaporator.It means that evaporator and condensor are placed at some distance.

The four component of split air conditioning system are as follows

1.Evaporator

 It absorb heat from room and produces the cooling effect.

2.Compressor

 It compresses the refrigerant which exits from evaporator.

3.Condensor

 It rejects the heat and cool the evaporator.

4.Expanding valve

  It allows to refrigerant to cool up to evaporator pressure.
