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}

Define waves as it applies to electromagnetic fields
julsineya [31]

Waves in the electric and magnetic fields are known as electromagnetic waves. You must first understand what a field is, which is just a technique of giving each square inch of space a numerical value. You may see that as a temperature field, for instance, when you look at the weather predictions and they mention the temperature in several locations. Every location on Earth has a unique temperature that can be quantified. Everywhere on Earth has its own wind velocity, which is another form of field. This field differs somewhat from the temperature field in that the wind velocity has both a direction and a magnitude, whereas the temperature just has a magnitude (how hot it is). A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction, hence a field that contains vectors at every location is referred to as a vector field. Vector fields include the magnetic and electric fields. We may examine what would happen if we placed a charged particle at any given position in space. If the charged particle were to accelerate, we would state that the electric field there is the direction in which the particle is moving. In general, positively charged particles will move in the electric field's direction, whereas negatively charged particles will move in the opposite way. Because it is a vector field, the magnetic field exhibits comparable behavior. We discovered in the 19th century that the same interaction, electromagnetism, really produces both electric and magnetic fields. Like an electromagnet, a changing electric field will produce a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field will induce an electric field (like in a generator). If your system is configured properly, you may have an electric field that fluctuates, which in turn produces a magnetic field, which in turn induces another electric field, which in turn generates another magnetic field, and so on indefinitely. At the speed of light, this oscillation between a strong magnetic field and strong electric field spreads out indefinitely. In reality, light is an electromagnetic wave—an oscillation in the electromagnetic fields. An electric or magnetic field may exist without a medium since they exist in a vacuum, which implies that waves in these fields don't require a medium like sound to flow through.
