When determining risk, it is necessary to estimate all routes of exposure in order to determine a total dose (or CDI). Recognizi

ng this, estimate the total chronic daily intake of toluene from exposure to a city water supply that contains toluene at a concentration equal to the drinking water standard of 1 mg/L over a period of 10 years. Assume the exposed individual is an adult female that is exposed to the chemical via drinking water and inhaling gaseous toluene released while she showers. Use the given parameters to calculate the CDI for water consumption. For inhalation, assume the woman takes a 15-minute shower every day. Assume the average air concentration of toluene during the shower is 1 μg/m3 and that she breathes at the adult rate of 20 m3/day.

Answer:

The following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

The Formula for calculating CDI:

\bold{CDI = \frac{C \times CR \times EF \times ED}{BW \times AT}}

_{where} \\ CDI = \text{Chronic daily Intake rate}  (\frac{mg}{kg-day})} \\\\\text{C = concentration of Toluene}\\\\\text{CR = contact rate} \frac{L}{day}\\\\\text{EF = Exposure frequency} \frac{days}{year}\\\\\text{ED = Exposure duration (in years)} = 10 \ \ years\\\\\text{BW = Body weight (kg) = 70 kg for adult}\\\\ \text{AT = average period of exposure (days) }

calculating the value of AT:

=  365 \frac{days}{year}  \times  70 \ year  \\\\ = 25550 \ days

 calculating the value of Intake based drinking:

C = 1 \ \frac{mg}{L}

CR = 2 \frac{L}{day} Considering that adult females eat 2 L of water a day,

EF = 350 \frac{days}{year} for drink

calculating the CDI value:

\to CDI = \frac{(1 \times 2 \times 350 \times 10)}{(70 \times  25550)}\\\\

             = \frac{(2 \times 3500)}{(70 \times  25550)}\\\\ = \frac{(7000)}{(70 \times  25550)}\\\\ = \frac{(100)}{(25550)}\\\\=0.00391 \frac{mg}{ kg-day}

Centered on inhalation, intake:

C = \frac{1 \mu g} { m^3} \ \ \  or \ \ \ \ 0.001  \ \ \frac{mg}{m^3}\\\\CR = 20  \frac{m^3}{day}\\\\EF = 15 \frac{min}{day}  \ \ or\ \  5475 \frac{min}{yr} \ \ \  or \ \  3.80 \frac{days}{year}\\

calculating the value of CDI:

\to CDI = \frac{(0.001 \times 20 \times 3.80 \times 10)}{(70 \times 25550)}

             = \frac{(0.76)}{(1788500)}\\\\= 4.24 \times 10^{-7} \ \ \frac{mg}{kg-day}

Discuss the organizational system that you believe would be the most effective for the safety officer in a medium-sized (100-200
marin [14]

Answer:

A safety manager is a person who designs and maintains the safety elements at workplace. A balance should be required for production and the job in providing work environment. As a safety officer in a medium sized manufacturing facility the following organizational system can be designed and maintained:

  • Maintaining a workplace as per the guidelines by Occupational safety and health association. The rules and regulation should be such that maintains the manufacturing facilities.  
  • For warning to workers proper labelling, floor mapping, signs, posters should be used.  
  • Procurement and usage of safe tools.  
  • A guideline that describes safety standard and precautionary measures should be available to the workers. They should be aware about all the steps that needs to be taken in crisis.  
  • Ensuring that the workers have enough training safety and health or accident prevention.  
  • Identify and eliminate the hazardous elements from the workplace.  
  • A strict action should be taken against the worker in case of violation of rules and not adhering with guidelines.

A fatigue test was conducted in which the mean stress was 90 MPa (13050 psi), and the stress amplitude was 190 MPa (27560 psi).
Gwar [14]

Answer:

a) 280MPa

b) -100MPa

c) -0.35

d) 380 MPa

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

mean stress \sigma_m = 90MPa

stress amplitude \sigma_a = 190MPa

a) \sigma_m =\frac{\sigma_max+\sigma_min}{2}

    90 =\frac{\sigma_{max}+\sigma_{min}}{2} --------------1

\sigma_a =\frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2}

   190 = \frac{\sigma_{max}-\sigma_{min}}{2} -----------2

solving 1 and 2 equation we get

\sigma_{max} = 280MPa

b) \sigma_{min} = - 100MPa

c)

stress ratio=\frac{\sigma_{min}}{\sigma_{max}}

=\frac{-100}{280} = -0.35

d)magnitude of stress range

                      =(\sigma_{max} -\sigma_{min})

                       = 280 -(-100) = 380 MPa
