Using the exponential dose-response model, calculate the probability of infection from drinking 2 L of water with a concentration of 3 pathogens/L from
(a) Cryptosporidium assuming a dose-response factor (r) of 0.057, and
(b) rotavirus assuming r of 0.20.
Homework Answers
1 L of drinking water contains 3 pathogens, therefore 2 L water
contains = 
pathogens.
From the exponential dose-response model, the probability of
infection is given by 
where D= 6 pathogens
a. for cryptosporidium, r=0.057, 
b. for rotavirus, r= 0.20,

Question #1 (from Mihelcic). Assume an adult female who weighs 50 kg drinks 2 L of water every day and the absorption factor for the chemical of concern is 75 percent. The concentration of the chemical in the drinking water is 55 ppb. Determine the dose in mg/kg-day. Question #2 (from Mihelcic). Determine if exposure by oral ingestion to the chemicals xylene, toluene, arsenic, and hexavalent chromium poses a noncarcinogenic health risk. The chemical-specific reference doses (mg/kg-day) obtained from IRIS...

A FWS constructed wetland is being designed to polish grey water
from a school building in Indiana. The grey water characteristics
are 80 mg/L BOD, 20 mg/L TSS and 10 mg/L nitrogen (as ammonia
nitrogen). They would like their constructed wetland to reduce
their BOD to 15 mg/L before the water exits the wetland. No
treatment objectives are required for TSS, nitrogen or pathogens in
the wetland. Decaying plant matter provides a background BOD
concentration (C*) of 7 mg/L. Assume...

Using the regular solution model, show that oil and water do not mix unless the solution is very dilute. Assume oil is the solute. For hydrocarbon-water mixtures assume w-5 and T-300K. Do oil and water mix if x_av- 0.3? Calculate Delta G_MIX. Is it positive, negative, or zero? How about if x_mi = 0.0001? Do oil and water mix at this concentration of oil? At what mole fraction is the oil in equilibrium with its dissolved form? To solve this...
