Question 1
Â
Â
You are an industrial hygienist conducting personal sampling on a worker who is overseeing a production process involving use of acetone (Note: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established a Permissible Exposure Limit of 1000 parts per million (ppm) of acetone). You are able to measure the following exposures:
700 ppm for 3 hours
1300 ppm for 2 hours
900 ppm for 3 hours
What is the calculated TWA? What would you tell plant management in terms of exposure to acetone and compliance with the PEL?

Question 2
Â
Â
Please solve the following problem, indicating your response on a Word document and submitting the document via File Upload.
Â
Using the following formula, solve the problem below, and show your work.
Â
TWA = CaTa + CbTb + ... + CnTn
                                8
Â
TWA |
= |
Time-Weighted Average |
Ca |
= |
Concentration of contaminant during the sampling period "a" |
Ta |
= |
Time of sampling period "a" |
Cb |
= |
Concentration of contaminant during the sampling period "b" |
Tb |
= |
Time of sampling period "b" |
Cn |
= |
Concentration of contaminant during the sampling period "n", where "n" is the last of a series of contaminants |
Tn |
= |
Time of sampling period "n" |
Â
Â
Â
Note: All concentrations are in parts contaminant per million parts of air or milligrams of contaminant per cubic meter of air.
Air Sampling Problem:Â You are an industrial hygienist that is conducting personal sampling on a worker who is overseeing a production process involving use of toluene (Note: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established a Permissible Exposure Limit of 200 parts per million (ppm)). You are able to measure the following exposures:
Â
500 ppm for 1 hour
100 ppm for 4 hours
225 ppm for 3 hours
What is the calculated TWA? What would you tell plant management in terms of exposure to toluene and compliance with the PEL?
