1 Use Equation 2-7 to convert the TLV in pprn to the TLV in mg/m3for benzene, carbon monoxide, and
chlorine. Assume 25°C and 1atm

2 Determine the duration times, in minutes, that a group of 100 people can be exposed to 1500 pprn of
carbon monoxide to result in (a) 0% fatalities and (b) 50% fatalities

3 The NIOSH web site states that deaths occur as a result of ammonia exposures between 5,000 and 10,000
pprn over a 30-min period. Compare the result to the results from the probit equation (Table 2-5)

4 Use Equation 2-6 to convert probits of 3.72, 5.0, and 6.28 to percentage affected, and compare with the
values shown in Table 2-4.
5 Estimate the exposure concentration in pprn that will result in fatalities for 80% of the exposed
individuals if they are exposed to phosgene for 4 min
