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}

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The pouring of the molten metal during casting is done very slowly hence the molten metal froze before reaching all parts of the mould cavity. also the early freezing can occur if the temperature of the molten metal was lower than the required temperature for casting

Explanation:

since the same components are being casted at other foundries and they don't have the defects ,

Hence the reason for the defects experienced by these components can be caused when the pouring of the molten metal during casting is done very slowly hence the molten metal froze before reaching all parts of the mould cavity. also the early freezing can occur if the temperature of the molten metal was lower than the required temperature for casting .

The rolling process is governed by the frictional force between the rollers and the workpiece. The frictional force at the entra
adell [148]

Answer:

b)false

Explanation:

Rolling is a process in which work piece passes through rolls to produce desired out put of the work piece.Rolling  is a metal forming process.

We know that friction force is responsible for motion of work piece between rolls.If friction force is so small at the entrance side then work piece will not enter in the forming zone and forming process will not occurs.So the friction force should be high at the entrance side and low at the exit side.

So given statement is wrong.

A series circuit has 4 identical lamps. The potential difference of the energy source is 60V. The total resistance of the lamps
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I=3A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of lamps N=4

Potential difference V=60v

Total Resistance of the lamp is R= 20ohms

Generally the equation for Current I is mathematically given by

 I=\frac{V}{R}

 I=\frac{60}{20}

 I=3A
