  2. Useful conversions and formulas for air dispersion modeling

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_conversions_and...

    Here are the conversion factors for those various expressions of wind speed: 1 m/s = 2.237 statute mile/h = 1.944 knots 1 knot = 1.151 statute mile/h = 0.514 m/s 1 statute mile/h = 0.869 knots = 0.447 m/s. Note: 1 statute mile = 5,280 feet = 1,609 meters

  3. Cancer slope factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_slope_factor

    C = Concentration of the chemical in the contaminated environmental medium (soil or water) to which the person is exposed. The units are mg/kg for soil and mg/L for water. IR i = Intake rate of the contaminated environmental medium for age bin "i". The units are kg/day for soil and L/day for water. BW i = Body weight of the exposed person for ...

  4. Mixed liquor suspended solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_liquor_suspended_solids

    The units MLSS is primarily measured in milligram per litre (mg/L), but for activated sludge its mostly measured in gram per litre [g/L] which is equal to kilogram per cubic metre [kg/m3]. Mixed liquor is a combination of raw or unsettled wastewater or pre-settled wastewater and activated sludge within an aeration tank.

  5. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

    where TDS is expressed in mg/L and EC is the electrical conductivity in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 °C. The conversion factor k e varies between 0.55 and 0.8. [5] Some TDS meters use an electrical conductivity measurement to the ppm using the above formula. Regarding units, 1 ppm indicates 1 mg of dissolved solids per 1,000 g of water.

  6. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    At 101.325 kPa (abs) and 20 °C (68 °F), air has a density of approximately 1.204 kg/m 3 (0.0752 lb/cu ft), according to the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA). At 101.325 kPa (abs) and 15 °C (59 °F), air has a density of approximately 1.225 kg/m 3 (0.0765 lb/cu ft ), which is about 1 ⁄ 800 that of water , according to the ...

  7. Discharge (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_(hydrology)

    The units that are typically used to express discharge in streams or rivers include m 3 /s (cubic meters per second), ft 3 /s (cubic feet per second or cfs) and/or acre-foot per day. [2] A commonly applied methodology for measuring, and estimating, the discharge of a river is based on a simplified form of the continuity equation.

  8. Saturation vapor density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_vapor_density

    The saturation vapor density (SVD) is the maximum density of water vapor in air at a given temperature. [1] The concept is related to saturation vapor pressure (SVP). It can be used to calculate exact quantity of water vapor in the air from a relative humidity (RH = % local air humidity measured / local total air humidity possible ) Given an RH percentage, the density of water in the air is ...

  9. Reference dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_dose

    Subsequently, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) reviewed the health implications of perchlorate, and in 2005 proposed a much higher alternative reference dose of 0.0007 mg/kg/day based primarily on a 2002 study by Greer et al. [6] During that study, 37 adult human subjects were split into four exposure groups exposed to 0.007 (7 subjects ...
