Carbon tetrachloride (dry cleaning fluid) is a suspected carcinogen. Given the following information, calculate the concentration (in mg/m³) that can be allowed in the air of a dry cleaning establishment if the incremental lifetime cancer risk for the men working there is to be limited to 1 case in 100,000. Assume a career length of 15 years.

A local plant has a pancake type disinfection tank. Diameter is 15 m and height is 6 m. Flow of filtered water is 43 m3/min. To meet EPA regulation, plant should achieve 3 log inactivation of Giardia Cyst at pH 8 and 20 degree Celsius. Currently plant uses chlorine as primary disinfectant. (*Answers in whole number, No unit) Contact time? min CT value? mg-min/L Disinfectant concentration? mg/L
The Philippine Toxic and Hazardous Wastes Act places limits on the quantities of toxic substances thatmay be discharged into the sewerage system. Guidelines on hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) limits the dischargeamount to just 0.50 mg/L. If an industry dumps hexavalent chromium in the form of potassium dichromate(K2Cr2O7), what is the maximum allowable concentration of hexavalent chromium in % by volume and molesper liter of sewage water? Molar Mass: Cr=52, K=39.1, O=16

Treatment Theory The following (one option only) is an example of source reduction in the 'Pollution Prevention Hierarchy' for air pollution control. Select one: a. Turning off appliances and lighting when not in use. b. Desulfur fuel before power generation c. Install electrostatic precipitators to remove particulate matter at all coal fired power stations. d.

The local population is worried about their exposure to SO2 from Factory A mentioned in the previous question. EPA has determined a safe household exposure limit of 75 ppb, based on a 3-year average of 99th percentile of the yearly distribution of 1-hour daily maximum concentrations of SO2 in air. Assuming a 4 times dilution for every 100 ft traveled by the gas, what is the allowed average daily concentration of SO2 right next to Factory A? Factory A is located 1,000 ft away from the closest houses. O 79 ppm, O 3.0 ppbv 0.3 ppby O 0.75 ppmy
Your organization has been hired to provide a water treatment process or device toremove toxic Chromium 6 [Cr(VI)] from water emanating from an underground source.Your organization has developed a treatment process that removes most of the Cr(VI)from the water to a residual concentration of 0.05 mg/L which is an acceptable level inline with the World Health Organisation. The underground water flows at 40 m3/h andhas Cr(VI) concentration of 100mg/L. The effluent flow rate is 97% of the influent flowrate, and the remainder of the water is discharged as wastewater. Calculate theconcentration of Cr(VI) in wastewater.
