4. Trichloroethylene emissions into the atmosphere from a proposed industrial manufacturing of concerns to a population close to the facility. Modeling studies has shown 70% of the time, the prevailing winds directs trichloroethylene away from the neighborhood, but 30 percent of the time the trichloroethylene level will be 0.01 mg/m'. Use data from tables 1, 2 and 3 to assess the incremental risk to adults in the residential area if the facility is allowed to be built. If the acceptable risk is 10“, should the facility construction proceed? Assume the body weight is 80 kg and the life time is 80 yr. (10 marks)

Coming home after the end of the winter semester, you find that your family’s swimming pool has not be maintained well. In particular, it has no chlorine residual at all, and it is full of tree leaves. You buy a concentrated chlorine solution (1% as Cl2) and begin to meter it into the pool at a rate of 100 mL/hour. The pool has a volume of 200 m3. You also add new water, and remove in-pool water, at a rate of 3.785 L/minute. The chlorine reacts with the organic matter in the with a rate of 0.5/hour. How long will it take to get the Cl2 residual up to 1 mg/L if you add Cl2 continously.
III. Situational Analysis [Essay 1 – at least 200 words] The ultimate BOD5 from an end-of-pipe discharged to a river of the company where you are working as the pollution control officer was 15 mg/L. At 300 meters downstream, a sampling point was designated by DENR-EMB and found out a measured BOD5 of 120 ppm and a DO of 1.5 ppm. You are the only industry located within 300m radius from the sampling point of the river that stretched about two (2) miles from upstream up to the outfall of a bay. You are summoned for an investigation of the scenario in a technical conference. What would be your technical position or statement of the situation?
