Water from a variety of sources that receive precipitation is being sampled. Using a pH meter, the pH of water samples is being measured. In the first approach using titration methods in combination with pH measurement, the volumes of sulfuric acid needed for reaching two different pH levels are being measured. Difference in the volume of sulfuric acid used, is an equivalent for the amount of CaCO3 expressed in grams per (gL-1) in the analyte. Therefore the alkalinity of water samples is being calculated.
In our organisation we must have a designated Health and Safety representative who will take the responsibility of monitoring and recording all records and reports, these include risk assessments. This representative is the Manager, assisted by the deputy manager. 1.2: Analyse how policies, procedures and practices in own setting meet health, safety and risk
Hydrate Lab The purpose of this lab is to analyze the percent water in a crystalline hydrate and to indentify the hydrate from a list of possible unknowns. The solid hydrate will be heated to remove the water, and the percent can be found by measuring the mass of the solid before and after heating. The hydrate will be indentified by comparing the percent water in the hydrate with the percent water calculated for the possible unknown. Before the lab there are pre-lab questions: 1. Describe the three general safety rules for working with a Bunsen burner.
VitalBook file. • EPA-Environmental Protection Agency: The EPA’s jurisdiction is our water, land and air. Their purpose is to create policies to protect our environment from pollution and from the depletion of our resources. • FDA-Food and Drug Administration: The FDA has jurisdiction to regulate, inspect, monitor, test, and develop guidelines for food, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices. I think the agency that is the least effective is the FTC, Federal Trade Commission.
This standard was formulated for the purpose of implementing the Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China, Law on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, Decision of the State Council on the Implementation of the Outlook on Scientific Development and Strengthening Environmental Protection and Opinion of the State Council on Preparing the Plan on National Major Function Zones, protecting the environment, preventing and controlling pollution, strengthening control and management of waste water discharge from citric acid industry and regulating environmental impact assessment of companies of citric acid industry. The standard provides the discharge limit of water pollutants, requirements on monitoring and supervision of citric acid companies. To facilitate balanced development of regional economy and the environment, promote industrial restructuring and transformation of economic growth model and chart the course for the development of industrial production process and pollution control technology, the standard defines special discharge limits for water pollutants. Note: both the United States and china have formulated standards to guard against environmental hazards. Riordan manufacturing will have to be aware, adopt and follow both the Chinese and the United States environmental standards since it’s involved in international trade.
Heats of Solution and Reaction Name: Cindy Hernandez Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to decided if the chemical reactions are exothermic and endothermic. By finding the differences between each temperature. Overview: For this lab, we had three different chemicals involved NH4Cl, H2SO4, and NaOH. What we did with these chemicals was that we added water, except NaOH we added HCl, was that we combined both mixtures to determine if there was a temperature change. The reason why we're determining if their was a chemical reaction is to identify if it is exothermic or endothermic.
Employees must also be give the name and address of the authority for the workplace and HSEs employment medical advisory service. Also contains information on the competent person with responsibility for Health & Safety on the premises. ●Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH).Requires employees to have controlled measures in place for the use of chemicals and substances which may be harmful to health and welfare for the employees and the public. All chemicals must be clearly labelled, Copies of coshh details supplier’s information, instructions and training for persons using theses chemical must be given, and left on site with the
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the amount of pollutants that atmosphere is exposed to during production. They do this by conducting environmental studies, assessments, research, and education. They are concerned with how much human activity can have an impact on the environment. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces anti-discrimination laws. This law regulates workplace discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, or disability.
In addition, it also oversees matters regarding to the environment in relation to production of natural gas and hydroelectric energy are adhered to (Norman, Thisse Phlips, 2000). F. Explain the major functions of the five primary federal regulatory commissions that govern social regulation The Equal employment opportunity commission (EEOC); investigates charges of violation, promotes awareness of the
During this step an investigation it is determined whether or not the site poses any threat to human health. If the site threatens human health a Site Inspection is completed. During the site inspection investigators environmental and waste samples are collected in order to determine what hazardous substances are found to be at the site. They will also attempt to determine if these substances are being released to the environment and verify if they have reached nearby area further endangering human health or the environment. The Site Investigation may be done in one stage or two.
