1.8 The washing machine is a batch reactor in which a first order decay of grease on the
clothes is occurring. The integrated form of the mass balance equation is:
C = C0 e - kt
First, find k:
1 C 1 C0 1 1
k = ln = ln = ln = 0.128 min -1
t C 0 1 min 0.88C 0 1 min 0.88
Next, calculate the grease remaining on the clothes after 5 minutes:
m = m0 e - kt = (0.500 g )e - (0.128 min )(5.00 min ) = 0.264 g

The grease that is not on the clothes must be in the water, so

b. Noting that Qb = Q0 – Qf and Qs = Q0 – Qf/2 the mass balance becomes

and solving for the maximum Qf yields
Qf =

2.15 EDTA (C10N2O8H16) has a molecular weight of 292 g/mole
Calcium molar concentration: (20 mg/L)(40.1 mol/g)-1(103 mg/g)-1 = 0.000499 M
Mass of EDTA: (0.000499 mol/L)(292 g/mol)(44 gal)(3.785 L/gal) = 24.3 g EDTA

2.22 From Table 2.3, Ksp,CaSO4 is 2 x 10-5 and Ksp = [Ca2+] [SO42-] = [SO42-]2
At saturation: [SO42-] = Ksp½ = (2 x 10-5) ½ = 0.00447 mol/L
⎛ 0.5 g ⎞ ⎛ mole ⎞
Check if saturation is exceeded: ⎜ ⎟ ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ = 0.00368 mol/L
⎝ L ⎠ ⎝ 136 g ⎠
Since saturation is not exceeded the sulfate concentration is 0.00368 mol/L

2.23 Assume a closed system.
a. [Ca2+] = Ctot = [H2CO3] + [HCO3-] + [CO32-] eqn. 1
Charge balance: [H+] + 2[Ca2+] = [HCO3-] + 2[CO32-] + [OH-] eqn. 2
At pH 8.5: Ctot ≈ [HCO3-] » [CO32-] (see Figure 2.5) and [H+] « [OH-]
So eqn. 2 simplifies to: 2[Ca2+] = Ctot + [OH-] eqn. 3
Using eqn. 1 in eqn. 3 yields: [Ca2+] = [OH-] = 10-5.5 = 3.16 x 10-6
Note this is less than the Ca2+ initially added, so CaCO3(s) has precipitated

6.1 a. A primary standard is an enforceable limit on the concentration of a
contaminant in water or an enforceable requirement that a particular treatment
technique be implemented. Primary standards apply only to contaminants that
impact human health. A secondary standard is a recommended limit on the
concentration of a water constituent or on the measured value of a water quality
parameter (e.g., turbidity). Secondary standards apply to factors that affect a
drinking water’s aesthetic but not human health attributes.
b. An MCL is a primary standard, whereas an MCLG is a maximum

concentration goal for a drinking water contaminant, which would be desirable
based on human health concerns and assuming all feasibility issues such as cost
and technological capability are not considered. An MCLG is not an enforceable
limit, but does provide the health-based concentration, which the MCL should
seek to approach as closely as possible within the constraints of practical
feasibility. There are many contaminants with MCLGs, but no numeric MCL.
These include acrylamide, copper and lead.
6.2 The CWA sets up a system by which the maximum concentration of contaminants
in discharges to surface waters and in the surface waters themselves are set and
enforced, while the SDWA provides the legislative mechanism necessary to set
and enforce the maximum contaminant concentrations in drinking water. The
CWA is designed to ensure that the quality of surface waters in the U.S. is, at a
minimum, appropriate for the beneficial uses for which the water is designated.
The SDWA is designed to ensure that water supplied by public water systems for
human consumption meets acceptable health standards at the point of use.

b. From the definition of filter efficiency: Vf – (Vb + Vr) = ηfVf (6.8.1)
and the definition of the effective filtration rate gives:

Vf – (Vb + Vr) = refAftc (6.8.2)
Combining (6.8.1) and (6.8.2) and rearranging yields:
vf = =
(m )( 2

ref Af t c 7.7 hr 80 m (52 hr )

ηf 0.96
( )
From (6.8.1): Vb + Vr = Vf (1 - η f ) = 33,370 m 3 (1 - 0.96) = 1,335 m 3 (per cycle)
Thus, the volume of water lost per cycle (Vb + Vr) is 1,340 m3.
6.9 Note that this problem incorporates a practically realistic, yet possibly confusing,
nuance in that the total backwash time per cycle (tb) is double the total time that
backwash water is flowing through the filter (tb’). Thus, calculation of the water
volume used in backwash is based on 8 minutes of flow per cycle, whereas the
time the filter is off-line for backwashing is 16 minutes.

6.26 a. The main constituent of concern from the perspective of configuring the
POTW treatment train is biodegradable organic matter. It is, however, arguable
from the perspective of human health that the main constituents of concern are
human pathogens.
b. Unit operation function based on an overall aim of removing BOD:

i. The grit chamber removes the very largest and most settleable
particles, which may contain a modest fraction of organic matter.
ii. The primary sedimentation basin removes most of the
gravitationally settleable organic matter (as well as inorganic
matter). Typically about 35% of the BOD can be removed by
primary sedimentation.
iii. The bioreactor converts dissolved and fine particulate
biodegradable organic matter into microbial cell mass and energy
for microbial metabolism.
iv. The secondary clarifier physically removes the cell mass generated
in the bioreactor by gravitational settling.
v. Digestors further degrade the organic particles in the primary
clarifier sludge and/or the microbial cell mass separated into the
secondary clarifier sludge by exposing it to more prolonged
biodegradation.
6.27 Both primary and secondary wastewater treatment are designed to remove
biodegradable organic matter (BOM) and the superset of total solids. Primary treatment
only removes that BOM which can be physically separated from the raw sewage by
floatation, gravitational settling or screening. On the other hand, secondary treatment
removes BOM that may be biodegraded by microbes within a relatively short duration
(typically the hydraulic retention time is less than 1 day). Much of the BOM degraded in
secondary treatment is dissolved or colloidal and it is converted into microbial cell mass.
The cells are removed from the secondary effluent by settling in a secondary clarifier (or
by exclusion by a membrane).

for R' CHO to be HCHO, R' must be H so that
RO • + O2 → HO2 • +HCHO
for the reaction to balance , R = CH3
which says RH in (7.16) must be CH4 (methane)
Pg. 7.2
7.10 RH = propene = CH2=CH-CH3 = C3H6 so, R = C3H5
so the sequence of reactions (7.16) to (7.19) is:

C3 H5 O2 • +NO → C 3 H5O • +NO2

Separate: Grid electricity = 36 MJ/(3.6 MJ/kWh) = 10 kWh x 175 gC/kWh = 1750 gC

Boiler = 40 MJ/0.85 = 47 MJ x 14.4 gC/MJ = 677 gC
Total carbon = 1750 + 677 = 2427 gC
Savings: (2427 – 1440)/2427 = 0.41 = 41%
b. CHP with 50% electrical & 20% thermal efficiency vs a 280 gC/kWh, coal-fired
power plant for electricity and an 80% efficient gas-fired boiler for heat.
CHP: Assume 100 MJ input to the CHP:
Carbon emissions would be 14.4 gC/MJ x 100 MJ = 1,440 gC
Separate: Coal 50 MJ/(3.6 MJ/kWh)=13.89 kWh x 280 gC/kWh = 3889 gC
Boiler = 20 MJ/0.80 = 25 MJ x 14.4 gC/MJ = 360 gC
Total carbon = 3889 + 360 = 4249 gC
Savings: (4249 – 1440)/4249 = 0.66 = 66%

At NSPS of 0.03 lb particulates per 106 Btu input, emissions would have been:

emissions = 6 x 1.37x101 6 Btu in x = 1.87x101 1g

7.28 Derivation for the dry adiabatic lapse rate:
dQ = dU + dW where dU = Cv dt and dW = PdV

dQ = Cv dt + PdV (1)
ideal gas law says PV = nRT
so, d(PV) = PdV + VdP = nRT
or, PdV = nRT - VdP
plugged into (1) gives:
dQ = Cv dT + nRdT − VdP
dQ dP
= Cv + nR − V (2)
dT dT
at constant pressure :
dQ
= Cv + nR = C p
dT
putting that into (2) gives,
dQ dP
= Cp − V
dT dT
or,
dQ = C p dT − VdP which is (7.37)

profile (a), (b) or (d).
Above the knee, the plume is looping, which suggests superadiabatic, which is d.
7.32 H=50m, overcast so Class D, A at 1.2km, B at 1.4km.
a. From Fig 7.52, Class D, H=50m, max concentration occurs at 1km.

Beyond 1 km, concentration decreases so the "A" will be more polluted than “B.”
b. Clear sky, wind < 5m/s: Class is now A, B or C. At 50m, Class A, B, or C, Fig 7.52
shows us that the maximum point moves closer to the stack.
c. It will still be house at site "A” that gets the higher concentration of pollution.

C(t) = C(0)e − ut / L = 41.7µg/ m 3 ⋅ e -4m/s ⋅ 2.52x10s 1 0 m = 15.2 µg / m 3

8.19. Finding LHV efficiency of a condensing furnace with 95% HHV efficiency.
From Example 8.4, HHV = 890 kJ/mol and LHV = 802 kJ/mol. The output of a HHV
95% efficient furnace burning 1 mole of methane is 0.95 x 890 kJ = 845.5 kJ. On an LHV
basis, you still get the same output, but the efficiency is now
845.5 kJ delivered
LHV efficiency = = 1.054 = 105.4%
802 kJ LHVinput

This over 100% efficiency is one reason LHV values are sometimes avoided in the U.S.

Pg. 8.16
8.35 Using 100-year GWPs from Table 8.7 with emission rates of 6,000 million metric tons
(Mt) of CO2, 26.6 MtCH4, and 1.2 Mt N2O. gives
6000 x 1(CO2) + 26.6 x 23(CH4) + 1.2 x 296(N2O) = 6967 MtCO2 = 6.967 GtCO2-eq
Adjusting for the ratio of C to CO2 gives
6.967 GtCO2 x (12gC/44gCO2) = 1.9 GtC-eq/yr
8.36 The actual ΔTrealized is estimated to be 0.6oC, which is 75% of the equilibrium ΔT
ΔTrealized = 0.6oC = 0.75 ΔTequilibrium
so, ΔTequilibrium = 0.6/0.75 = 0.8oC
but, ΔTequilibrium = λ ΔFactual = 0.57 x ΔFactual = 0.8
0.8 2
that is, ΔFactual = = = 1.40W / m

The direct forcing is 2.45 W/m2, so aerosols etc. are 2.45 - 1.40 = 1.05 W/m2
8.37 Repeating Example 8.12 with the 100-yr GWP for CH4 = 23. With 1.5 MJ of
leakage, 15.3 gC/MJ we get
16 gCH 4 23 gCO 2
1.5 MJ x 15.3 gC/MJ x x = 703 gCO 2 − eq
12 gC 1 gCH 4
The actual CO2 emissions remain the same at 5525 gCO2

So, with 83.73 MJ of heat to the water, total CO2-eq emissions per MJ gives
703 gCO 2 - eq + 5525 gCO 2

= 74.4 gCO 2 −eq /MJ
83.73 MJ heat to water
8.38 Using Table 8.3 for the LHV carbon intensity of coal (25.8 gC/MJ), (3.18) to find

N - gas plant emissions = x x 3 x = 22.1 gC/mi
kWh MJ 10 kJ 5mi
c. With the typical coal plant:
l kW in 1 kJ/s 3600 s
Coal plant heat rate = x x = 12,000 kJ/kWhe
0.30 kWe out kW heat in hr
12,000kJ 24 gC MJ kWh
Coal plant emissions = x x x = 57.6 gC/mi

So, more than half of the carbon can be saved with electric cars when efficient
natural gas power plants are assumed. There is even a slight advantage with an

9.1 Analysis of the recycling rates using Table 9.8 data and prices from Table 9.18
a. Carbon savings is 747MTCE
b. At $50/ton, tipping fee savings is

936 tons/yr x $50/ton = $46,800/yr
c. Revenue generated is
$118,845/yr
d. With a carbon tax of $50 per metric ton of carbon-equivalents, savings due to
recycling would be
747 MTCE/yr x $50/MTCE = $37,350/yr
9.2 Analyzing the energy side of the airport recycling program described in Problem 9.1
using Table 9.9
a. Annual energy savings is: 21,494 million Btu

b. At $5 per million Btu, the dollar savings is
21,494 million Btu/yr x $5/million Btu = $107,470/yr
c. Dollar savings per ton would be: $107,470 / 936 tons = $114.81/ton
9.1
9.3 Spreadsheet analysis for the recycling program using Tables 9.8 and 9.18.
a. Avoiding $120/ton for pick up and selling these recyclables at half the Table 9.18
market price for recyclables saves
Avoided pick up charges = 5300 ton/yr x $120/ton avoided = $636,000/yr

Revenue from sale of recyclables = $404,000/yr
Total savings = $636,000 + $404,000 = $1,040,000/yr
b. With a $10/ton of CO2 tax, recycling saves

$10/ton CO 2 2200 lb 44 ton CO 2
Carbon tax = x x = $40.33/MTCE
2000 lb/ton metric ton 12 ton C
Savings = $167,531/yr (from spreadsheet)
c. A $400,000/yr recycling program saves

Net benefit = $1,040,000 + $167,531 - $400,000 = $807,531/yr
9.4 Comparing a 10,000mi/yr, 20 mpg SUV burning 5.22 lbs C//gal at 125,000 Btu/gal
to cardboard recovery savings.
c. The carbon savings from cardboard recycling is equivalent to carbon emissions

from how many SUVs?
d. How many “average SUVs” of energy are saved by cardboard recycling?
a. How many tons of CO2 will be emitted per SUV per year?
10,000 miles x x 5.22 lbsC/gal 44 tonCO 2
CO 2 = x = 4.35 ton CO 2 /yr
20 miles/gal x 2200 lbs/ton 12 tonC
b. Btus for those SUVs
10,000 miles x 125,000 Btu/gal
Energy = = 62.5 million Btu/yr
20 miles/gal
c. From Table 9.10, 42 million tons of cardboard are kept out of landfills. And from
Table 9.8, each ton saves 0.96 metric tons of carbon
9.2
42x10 6 ton/yr x 0.96 mtonC/ton x 1.1 ton/mton 44 tonCO 2
Car equivalents = x
4.32 tonCO 2 /yr − SUV 12 tonC
= 37.6 million SUVs taken off the road in carbon savings
d. From Table 9.9, cardboard recycling saves 15.65 million Btu/ton. So,
42x10 6 ton/yr x 15.65 x10 6 Btu/ton
Car equivalents = = 10.5 million SUVs
62.5 x 10 6 Btu/yr/SUV
9.5 A 0.355-L (12 oz) 16 g aluminum can with 70% recycling. Need to adjust Table
9.13 which was based on 50% recycling. Each can now has 0.7x16 = 11.2 g of
recycled aluminum and 0.3 x 16 = 4.8 g of new aluminum from bauxite.
1765 kJ
New aluminum from bauxite = 4.8g x = 1059 kJ
8g
40 kJ
Recycled cans to make 11.2 g of Al =11.2g x = 56 kJ
8g
The remaining energy for can production is the same as Table 9.13:
Total for 16g (0.355L) can = 3188 – (1765 + 40) + (1059 + 56) = 2498 kJ/can
Per liter of can = 2498 kJ/0.355L = 7037 kJ/L
9.6 Heavier cans from yesteryear, 0.0205 kg/can and 25% recycling rate.
New aluminum per can was 0.75 x 0.0205 kg = 0.015375 kg
Recycled aluminum per can was 0.25 x 0.0205 kg = 0.005125 kg
From Table 9.12:

New aluminum = 0.015275 kg x 220,600 kJ/kg = 3370 kJ
Recycled aluminum = 0.005125 kg x 5060 kJ/kg = 26 kJ
Total energy = 3370 + 26 = 3396 kJ/can
Compared to today’s 1805 kJ/can (Example 9.4)
Today : 1805 kJ/can
= 0.53 Savings is 47%
Earlier : 3396 kJ/can
9.7 Using 1.8 million tons/yr of aluminum cans, 63 percent recycled, and Table 9.12:
a. The total primary energy used to make the aluminum for those cans.
kg 2000 lb
New aluminum = 0.37 x 1.6x10 6 tons x 220,600 kJ/kg x x = 118.7 x1012 kJ
2.2 lb ton
9.3
kg 2000 lb
Old aluminum = 0.67 x 1.6x10 6 tons x 5060 kJ/kg x x = 4.9 x1012 kJ
2.2 lb ton
Total = (118.7 + 4.9) x 1012 = 123.6 x 1012 kJ
b. With no recycling:
kg 2000 lb
All new aluminum = 1.6x10 6 tons x 220,600 kJ/kg x x = 320.9x1012 kJ
2.2 lb ton
c. Using Table 9.8 CO2 emissions that result from that recycling.
Recycling = 0.67 x 1.6x106 tons Al x 3.71 MTCE/ton = 3.97 x 106 MTCE
44 tons CO 2
As CO2: 3.97x10 6 metric tonsC x = 14.6x10 6 metric tons/yr

9.10 Route timing:
a. Not collecting = 20min + 3x20min + 2x15min + 15min + 40min = 165 min/day

9.11 To avoid overtime pay, working 8 hrs/day and needing 165 min to make runs back
and forth to the disposal site, breaks, etc (Problem 9.2):
Collection time = 8 hr/d x 60 min/hr – 165 min/d = 315 min/day
315 min stop 4 customers 5 day

Customers = x x x = 4200 customers
day 1.5 min stop wk
Annual cost of service per customer is now:
($40/hr x 8 hr/wk x 5 d/wk x 52 wk/yr + $97,500/yr)/4200 = $43/yr
Cheaper to pay them overtime.
9.5
9.12 So, with 8-hr days a smaller truck can be used. As in Problem 9.11:
Collection time = 8 hr/d x 60 min/hr – 165 min/d = 315 min/day
With 2 truckloads per day,
315 min stop 4 customers
Customers = x x = 840 customers/day
day 1.5 min stop
or 420 customers per truckload. At 2 loads per day and 5 days per week, that would
give 4200 customers once a week service. Truck size needed is therefore,
420 customers 0.2 yd 3 at curb yd 3 in truck

Truck size = x x = 21yd 3
truckload customer 4yd 3at curb
costing:
$10,000 $3500/yd 3

Resulting in: Customer$ =

4200 customers
(compared with $39.26 per customer in Problem 9.10 and $43 in Problem 9.11.

b. Transfer station 0.3 hr from a collection route,
$40 + 30 t1 = 40 + 30x0.3 = $49/ton to get to the transfer station
for the transfer station
$10 + 10 t2 = 10 + 10(1.5 – 0.3 hr) = $22/ton
total cost with transfer station = $49 + $22 = $71/ton
c. Minimum distance from the transfer station to the disposal site,

direct haul $ = $ to transfer station + $ for transfer station
$40 + $30/hr x 1.5 hr = ($40 + 30 t1) + $10 + 10(1.5 - t1)

t1 = 1 hr t2 = 1.5 – 1 = 0.5 hr
That is, the transfer station must be no more than 1 hour away from the
collection route (or, the transfer station should be more than 0.5 hr from the
disposal site).

9.18 Newsprint: 5.97% moisture, HHV = 18,540 kJ/kg, 6.1% H.
Starting with 1 kg of “as received” waste:
Energy to vaporize moisture = 0.0597 kg H2O x 2440 kJ/kg = 145.6 kJ
Dry weight = 1 – 0.0597 = 0.9403 kg
Hydrogen in the dry waste = 0.061 x 0.9403 = 0.0574 kg
As H becomes H2O = 0.0574 kgH x 9 kgH2O/kgH x 2440 kJ/kgH2O = 1259.6 kJ
Total energy lost in water vapor = 145.6 + 1259.6 = 1405 kJ per kg of newsprint

time remaining = = 21.5 yrs
3.72 acre/yr
So the landfill will last 5 more years because of the program (21.5 – 16.5 yrs).
9.26 Lawn trimmings: Per kg, 620g moisture and 330g decompostables represented by
C12.76H21.28O9.26N0.54.
1 mol trimmings = 12x12.76 + 1x21.28 + 16x9.26 + 14x0.54 = 330.2 g//mol
That is, 1 kg of as received trimmings has 330g of decompostibles, which turns
out to be1 mole of decompostibles. Using (9.8) gives
C12.76H21.28O9.26N0.54 + n H2O Æ m CH4 + s CO2 + d NH3
where m = (4x12.76 + 21.28 –2x9.26 –3x0.54)/8 = 6.5225

So, 6.5225 moles of CH4 are produced per mole (330g) of decompostibles. So, 1
kg of lawn trimmings, with 330g of decomposbiles, results in 6.5225 moles of
CH4.

9.27 1 kg of food wastes, with 720g water and 280g of CaHbOcNd:

a. C 45% 0.45 x 280 = 126g
H 6.4% 0.064 x 280 = 17.92g
O 28.8% 0.288 x 280 = 80.64g
N 3.3% 0.033 x 280 = 9.24g
Total = 233.8 g/mol
C: 12g/mol x a mol = 126g so a = 126/12 = 10.5 mol
H: 1 g/mol x b mol = 17.92g so b = 17.92/1 = 17.92 mol
O: 16g/mol x c mol = 80.64g so c = 80.64/16 = 5.04 mol
N: 14g/mol x d mol = 9.24g so d = 9.24/14 = 0.66 mol
The chemical formula for dry food wastes: C10.5H17.92O5.04N0.66
b. Chemical reaction:
C10.5H17.92O5.04N0.66 + n H2O Æ m CH4 + s CO2 + d NH3
9.13
where n = (4x10.5 – 17.92 – 2x5.04 + 3x0.66)/4 = 3.995
m = (4x10.5 + 17.92 – 2x5.04 –3x0.66)/8 = 5.9825
s = (4x10.5 – 17.92 + 2x5.04 + 3x0.66)/8 = 4.5175
d = 0.66
Methane producing reaction is therefore:

Next, calculate the grease remaining on the clothes after 5 minutes:

m = m0 e - kt = (0.500 g )e - (0.128 min )(5.00 min ) = 0.264 g

The grease that is not on the clothes must be in the water, so

a. A mass balance around control volume (C.V.) at the downstream junction

b. Noting that Qb = Q0 – Qf and Qs = Q0 – Qf/2 the mass balance becomes

(Qf/2)Cf + (Q0 – Qf)C0 = (Q0 –Qf/2)Cs

and solving for the maximum Qf yields

so, CCH3OH, t =1 = 200 g - 114.3 g = 85.7 g

For first-order decay in a steady-state PFR

V = 1.15 L, k = 1.33 hr-1, Q = 0.012 L/min, m0 = 325 g, t = 1 hr

Accumulation = In – Out + Reaction

⎛ ⎛ (0.012 L/min )(60 min/ hr )

C = 40.0 g/L and then mt=1hr = (40.0 g/L)(1.15L) = 46.0 g

ppmv = (mg/m3)(24.04 L/mol)(mol wt)-1 = (60 mg/m3)(24.04 L/mol)(131 mol/g)-1

kd = radioactive decay rate constant = (ln2)/t1/2 = (ln2)/(8.1 d) = 0.0856 d-1

c. The mass balance for the CSTR control volume is

= QCa - QCe + Vr(C ) = QCa - QCe − V (k d Ce + k s Ce )

Assuming Ca = 0 and integrating yields

t = 0.0322 d = 46.4 min

Therefore, neutralization occurs almost instantly.

2.15 EDTA (C10N2O8H16) has a molecular weight of 292 g/mole

Calcium molar concentration: (20 mg/L)(40.1 mol/g)-1(103 mg/g)-1 = 0.000499 M

Mass of EDTA: (0.000499 mol/L)(292 g/mol)(44 gal)(3.785 L/gal) = 24.3 g EDTA

⎛ 2 moles Al0 ⎞ ⎛ 27 g Al0 ⎞ ⎛ mole H 2 ⎞ 9 g Al0

At saturation: [SO42-] = Ksp½ = (2 x 10-5) ½ = 0.00447 mol/L

Since saturation is not exceeded the sulfate concentration is 0.00368 mol/L

a. [Ca2+] = Ctot = [H2CO3] + [HCO3-] + [CO32-] eqn. 1

Charge balance: [H+] + 2[Ca2+] = [HCO3-] + 2[CO32-] + [OH-] eqn. 2

So eqn. 2 simplifies to: 2[Ca2+] = Ctot + [OH-] eqn. 3

Using eqn. 1 in eqn. 3 yields: [Ca2+] = [OH-] = 10-5.5 = 3.16 x 10-6

] = [H ][HCO ] = (10 )(10 ) = 2.24 × 10

b. No, this is not a safe level, since the HI > 1.

b. (220,000 workers ) (7 × 10 -5 ) = 15 workers

(220,000 workers)(0.24) + 15 workers = 52,815 workers

Since the HI is less than 1 the non-cancer hazard is acceptable, despite

a. trichloroethylene at 0.005 mg/L:

Risk = CDI x Potency

2L/d x 0.005 mg/L x 360 d/yr x 30 yr 1.1x10-2

b. benzene at 0.005 mg/L:

2L/d x 0.0005 mg/L x 360 d/yr x 30 yr 7.7

Therefore, carbon is limiting.
