Q

What is the definition of flammable (NFPA/USDOT)?

A

A liquid with a flash point below 100 Fahrenheit

33
Q

What are LFL and UFL and what do they describe?

A

LFL: Lower flammability limit
UFL: Upper flammability limit
They are the concentrations (% volume in air) that a mixture of the chemical and air will ignite and burn

34
Q

What is LOC?

A

Limiting oxygen concentration, it’s the amount of O2 (% volume in air) that combustion is not possible if below the LOC

35
Q

What is AIT

A

Autoignition temperature: The highest temperature where an external ignition source is required to initiate combustion

36
Q

Equation for predicting LFL for mixtures of gases.

A

LFLmix=100/(SUM(Ci/LFLi)
- Note: Ci is the volume percent

37
Q

What are some hazards in grain storage?

A
  1. Grains fall to the center when being removed (suffocation)
  2. Bridging (gaps that could fall / creates mold)
  3. Toxic mold that could also be flammable
38
Q

What is a confined space? What are common examples?

A

A confined space is an area with restricted ability to enter/exit and is not meant for continuous occupancy.
Examples: underground vaults, tanks, storage bins, manholes, pits, silos, process vessels, pipelines

39
Q

Who regulates permit-required confined spaces?

A

OSHA

40
Q

What is a permit-required confined space?

A

One or more of the following:
- Has the potential to contain a
hazardous atmosphere
- Contains a material that has the potential to engulf an entrant
- Has walls that converge inward or floors
that slope downward and taper into a smaller area that could trap or asphyxiate an entrant
- Contains any other recognized
safety or health hazard such as unguarded machinery, exposed live wires or heat stress

41
Q

What gases are common to confined spaces?

A

NH3, H2S, CH4, CO2

42
Q

What are the effects of different currents on the human body?

A

1 mA: Perceivable (tingling)
5 mA: Slight shock, not painful
6 mA - 16 mA: “Freezing current” Painful shock, some loss of muscular control
17 mA - 99 mA: Extreme pain, respiratory arrest, severe muscular contractions. Individual cannot let go, possible death
100 mA - 2,000 mA: Ventricular fibrillation (uneven, uncoordinated pumping of the heart). Muscular contraction and nerve damage begins to occur. Death likely
>2000 mA: Cardiac arrest (stop in effective blood circulation), internal organ damage, and severe burns. Death is highly probable

43
Q

Explain the axes of a dose response curve.

A

Y-axis: Toxic Response (%); the percentage of the population that show a symptom (die)
X-axis: Dose (mg/(kg*day); as a logarithm); the amount ingested per day divided by body weight

44
Q

Risk of getting cancer
Risk = CDI x CSF
CDI: Chronic daily intake
CSF: Cancer slope factor

48
Q

Where does a cancer slope factor come from?

A

The slope of the dose response curve of that carcinogen.

49
Q

TLV

A

Threshold Limit Value: highest dose the body can detoxify without harmful effects

Q

What do you use to quantify risk for noncarcinogens?

A

Hazard Index (HI)

51
Q

Hazard Index Equation

A

HI=CDI/RfD
CDI: Chronic daily intake
RfD: Reference Dose

52
Q

How do you calculate Reference dose?

A

RfD=NOAEL/UF
NOAEL: No Observable Adverse Effect Level (x-intercept of dose response curve)
UF: Uncertainty factor (reliability of study)

53
Q

How do you calculate Safe Human Dose (SHD)?

A

SHD=RfDxW
RfD: reference dose
W=body weight

54
Q

What is the difference between NOAEL and Threshold?

A

NOAEL: Highest concentration where no symptoms are shown
Threshold: First concentration that symptoms are observed
*They are both the same x-intercept on the dose response curve

55
Q
