A 70 kg adult male is exposed to cadmium-containing vapors at his worksite. If he inhales 20 m3 per work day and he works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week 48 weeks a years, for 30 years. What is the maximum allowable cadmium concentration in the air if the cancer risk is to be maintained below 10-6? How would the acceptble concentration change if the calculation wee repeated for a 50 kg woman?

A laboratory trial is conducted to evaluate the risks associated with consumption of pesticide-contaminated water. 45 out of 500 mice exposed to the pesticide-contaminated water develop stomach cancer. 11 out of 500 mice that were not exposed to the pesticide contaminated water also developed cancer. What are: a. the relative risk? b. the attributable risk? c. the odds ratio? Do these epidemiological statistics suggest a potential link between consumption of this water and stomach cancer?
Suppose a city’s water supply has 0.2 ppb (1ppb=10-3 mg/L) of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in it. Using the PCB oral slope factor (7.7 (mg/kg-d)-1 and the EPA recommended exposure factors given in Table 6.14 below, (a) What would be the individual lifetime cancer risk for an adult male residential consumer?(b) In a city of 1 million people, use this risk assessment to estimate the number of extra cancers per year caused by the PCBs in the water supply. “Extra” cancers refers to cancers caused by PCBs (as opposed to other causes such as smoking, etc.)(c) Assume the average cancer death rate in the United States in 193 per 100,000 per year. How many cancer deaths would be expected in a city of 1 million? Do you think the incremental cancers caused by PCBs in the drinking water would be detectable?

Following several days at high altitude the body responds to the decreased oxygen content of the atmosphere by increasing the amount of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate it produces. Based on this information and refering to the graph below, identify the correct response from the options.

A 10-L stirred tank is used to cultivate mouse myeloma cells. Dry air is sparged from the bottom at 1.0 L/min to supply oxygen to the system. The gas composition at the outler is 16% oxygen, 3.5% CO2, 6.5% water vapor, and balanced nitrogen. The ambient pressure and temperature are 1 atm and 37 °C, respectively. The dissolved oxygen in the reactor is controlled at 20% of saturation with ambient air. What is the respiratory quotinent (RQ) (i.e., mole CO2 produced/mol O2 consumed)? Assume that the mole fraction of CO2 in the ambient air is negligible. The universal gas constant R = 0.082 L*atm/mol*K
