Essentials of Industrial Hygiene Acme Automotive Parts

This week we will look at controls from the bottom half of the Hierarchy of Controls. These controls are not as effective as elimination, substitution and engineering controls, but may be required when the more effective controls can’t reduce risk to an acceptable level or prove to be unfeasible to implement. Unfortunately, some employers will automatically use personal protection equipment (respirators, ear plugs) as the only controls without considering any other control method.

This week readings from Chapters 1 and 9 and a web page to review. attached below is the web page and the study guide. see if you can determine why simply putting workers in a respirator or ear plugs is not the most effective control method.

The assignment this week is a part of the IH profession that is sometimes overlooked, the paperwork. I realize paperwork is usually the part of a job that people like the least, but it is very important to educate the individuals at a facility who make the decisions. You are asked to take all the data and information we have accumulated during this class and create a report for the plant manager. The syllabus contains a summary of the sections you should include so the process should be fairly simple. The one new section is the last section where you will be asked to recommend when IH sampling should be performed in the future. see attached documents.

1. Write the oxidation reaction of Toluene in the body?

2. Explain the effect of Hydrocarbons compounds at atmosphere?

3. Explain the origin of petroleum by using inorganic theory (Mendelejeff)??

4. Explain the effect of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons?

5. What is the relationship between toxins and environment?

“One of the greatest commandments of science is, “Mistrust arguments from authority.”(Scientists, being primates, and thus given to dominance hierarchies, of course do not always follow this commandment.)Too many such arguments have proved too painfully wrong.Authorities must prove their contentions like everyone else”

Carl Sagan,

Demon Haunted World, 1995

Read pp. 5-12, 14-20 in Concepts of Biology and as you read, work on explaining the following terms and questions. Some of the questions will come from your class notes.

Answer the Following Questions:

• List and briefly describe 5 sub-disciplines of biology. (text pp. 14-15, class notes)
• List & describe the various characteristics that distinguish living things from non-living things. (text pp 6-8)
• Name and describe the various levels of complexity at which living organisms are organized from the simplest to the most complex (text pp. 9-12).
• Compare the contrast the terms hypothesis and theory. How are they different from each other? How is the scientific use of the word theory different from its common daily use? Give an example of a hypothesis and an example of a theory. (class notes)
• What is discovery science? What is experimental science? How are they different from each other? Give an example of how each can be used in scientific investigation. (class notes)
• List and briefly describe the four components of the process of scientific inquiry that are used to investigate the natural world. How are these different methods integrated with each other to solve scientific problems? (Class notes)

What is the common usage of the term “theory”?Give an example of how the term is typically used.Is this daily usage that is often heard really the correct way to use the work?
