  • Compounds are formed when two or more different elements combine.

Mixtures and Chemical Formulas

  • Mixtures are blends of two or more substances, where each substance maintains its chemical properties.
  • Chemical formulas represent the composition of a compound using chemical symbols and numbers.

Acids, Bases, and pH

  • Acids are substances that donate a hydrogen ion (H+).
  • Bases are substances that accept a hydrogen ion (H+).
  • pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.

Gas Laws

  • Boyle's Law: the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
  • Charles' Law: the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
  • Ideal Gas Law: a combination of Boyle's and Charles' Laws, relating pressure, volume, and temperature.

Gas Concentrations and Conversions

  • Concentrations of vapors, gases, and particulates can be expressed in various units.
  • Conversion factors can be used to convert between units of pressure, volume, and concentration.

Regulations and Standards

  • Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulates workplace safety and health.
  • Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires employers to inform employees about hazardous chemicals.
  • Blood-Borne Pathogens Standard regulates exposure to infectious agents.

Training and Record Keeping

  • Employee training is essential for compliance with regulations and standards.
  • Record keeping is required for OSHA inspections, citations, and penalties.

Noise and Hearing Conservation

  • OSHA's Hearing Conservation Program requires employers to monitor and control noise exposure.
  • Noise exposure can cause permanent hearing loss.
  • Audiometric testing and training programs are essential components of the Hearing Conservation Program.

Calculations and Conversions

  • Noise calculations involve converting between sound pressure, sound power, and sound intensity.
  • Converting noise dosage into time-weighted average (TWA) is crucial for compliance with OSHA regulations.
