You are asked to evaluate employees’ exposures to methyl n-amyl ketone during a painting operation using NIOSH Method 2553 for the sampling. You can access the method by clicking the link below:
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. (2003). Ketones II: Method 2553. In P. M. Eiler & M. E. Cassinelli (Eds.), NIOSH manual of analytical methods (4th ed.). Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2003-154/pdfs/2553.pdf
Please answer the following questions:
Your pre-sampling and post-sampling pump calibration using a primary standard are both 0.05 L/min. You collect a personal sample on an employee working in the operation. The sample is collected for 460 minutes. Calculate the sample volume.
The laboratory reports that the front section of the sample contains 4,500 µg of methyl n-amyl ketone and the back section contains 100 µg of methyl n-amyl ketone. Neither the front nor back sections of the field blank you supplied contain any detectable levels of methyl n-amyl ketone. Calculate the concentration of the sample in µg/L and mg/m³. Convert the result to ppm (MW for methyl n-amyl ketone = 114.2). Note: Use the ideal gas constant of 24.45.
You then reference OSHA’s Table Z-1 and find that the 8-hour TWA PEL for methyl n-amyl ketone is 100 ppm. You also look up the ACGIH TLV for methyl n-amyl ketone and find that the TLV is 50 ppm as an 8-hour TWA exposure. Discuss how the results of the personal sample you collected compare to the OSHA PEL and the ACGIH TLV.
Discuss whether you would recommend comparing the results of your sampling to the OSHA PEL or the ACGIH TLV. Include your rationale for the choice.
Show all your work for the calculations for questions 1 and 2. Your answers for questions 3 and 4 should be at least 70 words in length. Cite the NIOSH document using APA Style.

A survey was administered to a total of 10,000 randomly selected people who live

A survey was administered to a total of 10,000 randomly selected people who live in North Carolina (Grand Total). The survey was about the quality of life of those living in the state of North Carolina. One of the questions on the survey is “in what city are you currently living in?” The following are the frequencies for the number of people that responded to living in a specific city:
Raleigh = 2,135
Charlotte = 1,162
Greensboro = 986
Winston-Salem = 432
Durham = 3,100
Chapel Hill = 789
Asheville = 373
Missing (no response to this question) = 1,023
Create a table similar to Table 2.5 on page 41 of Hanneman’s Text. Follow the similar procedure for creating the table as I showed you on the Excel videos that I posted on canvas.
When creating the tables, make sure you have the data entered that is valid and also missing similar to the layout of Table 2.5. Use this table and my videos to layout your table in excel and values calculated. My videos for excel walk you through you the formulas.
Compute the valid frequency total, the grand frequency total (valid plus missing), all percent column data values (valid and missing), the total for the percent column (valid part total and the grant percentage total with the missing percentage value included), the valid percent column along with the column percentage total, and the cumulative percentages. Again, see table 2.5 in the text and your layout should be exactly the same way.
Please show formulas used to get answers.
Attached is example table given and the table i created to be modified as needed.

This project gives you an opportunity to explore in depth the topic you selected

This project gives you an opportunity to explore in depth the topic you selected previously, and found peer reviewed articles related to it. Now it is time to write up your research. Your essay should be at least 5-pages long, must include within-text citations in APA style and at least 7 peer-reviewed sources. Also, the essay must address the following points.
(1) The introduction will describe your topic and why it is important to research it.
(2) At the end of the introduction state a hypothesis or a question that you plan to explore in this project.
(3) Develop the body of your essay by integrating the seven articles you selected (and textbook if applicable) and appropriately citing your sources in APA style within the essay (this will be the bulk of your paper).
(4) Conclusion:
-Briefly describe whether your hypothesis was supported or your question answered,
-what you learned from reading these articles.
References:
(5) The last page of your essay (6th page) should be an APA style reference page listing the articles you used and your textbook if applicable.
I have chosen to write my paper on Death, dying, and grief, the final chapter in our textbook. I have always been fascinated in the process of death ever since my grandfather was in hospice. While he was in hospice I watched him go through the whole process of dying and also went through the aftermath of his death. In our book it explains different ways in which people experience, understand, and deal with the end of life. Death, dying, and grief can be difficult to process and vary with everyone. I feel like death is usually avoided as a topic because it is a heavy topic but it also will happen to everyone at some point in their life.
