  2. 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 ...

  3. Population equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_equivalent

    Population equivalent (PE) or unit per capita loading, or equivalent person (EP), is a parameter for characterizing industrial wastewaters.It essentially compares the polluting potential of an industry (in terms of biodegradable organic matter) with a population (or certain number of people), which would produce the same polluting load.

  4. Useful conversions and formulas for air dispersion modeling

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

    Pollution regulations in the United States typically reference their pollutant limits to an ambient temperature of 20 to 25 °C as noted above. In most other nations, the reference ambient temperature for pollutant limits may be 0 °C or other values. 1 percent by volume = 10,000 ppmv (i.e., parts per million by volume).

  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]

  6. Mass flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flux

    Mathematically, mass flux is defined as the limit =, where = = is the mass current (flow of mass m per unit time t) and A is the area through which the mass flows.. For mass flux as a vector j m, the surface integral of it over a surface S, followed by an integral over the time duration t 1 to t 2, gives the total amount of mass flowing through the surface in that time (t 2 − t 1): = ^.

  8. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    For example, the freezing point of water is 0 °C and 32 °F, and a 5 °C change is the same as a 9 °F change. Thus, to convert from units of Fahrenheit to units of Celsius, one subtracts 32 °F (the offset from the point of reference), divides by 9 °F and multiplies by 5 °C (scales by the ratio of units), and adds 0 °C (the offset from the ...

  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 ...
