• Calculating Days Away, Restricted, or Transfer Rates

• Calculating Severity Rates### Ventilation

• The purpose of ventilation is to control and remove contaminants from the air.

• There are three types of ventilation: general ventilation, dilution ventilation, and local (exhaust) ventilation.

• General ventilation involves introducing fresh air into a space to remove contaminants.

• Dilution ventilation is used to reduce the concentration of contaminants by introducing fresh air.

• Local (exhaust) ventilation involves removing contaminants at the source.

Principles of Air Movement

• Calculating volumetric air flow involves determining the volume of air required to remove contaminants.
• Calculating static pressure, velocity pressure, and total pressure is necessary to determine the air flow rate.
• Calculating velocity of air is important to determine the effectiveness of ventilation.
• Contaminant generation rate affects the concentration of contaminants in the air.

Calculations

• Purge rate calculation is necessary to determine the time required to remove contaminants.
• Steady-state concentration calculation is necessary to determine the maximum concentration of contaminants.
• Calculating rate of generation for liquid solvents involves determining the rate of evaporation.
• Calculating vapor or gaseous concentrations involves determining the concentration of contaminants in the air.
• Calculating room air changes involves determining the number of times the air is replaced in a room.
• Calculating concentration of a contaminant with dilution ventilation involves determining the concentration of contaminants after ventilation.

Local Exhaust Ventilation

• Canopy hood, down draft hood, enclosure hood, and receiving hood are types of local exhaust ventilation systems.
• Calculating hood entry losses, air flow velocity, and capture velocity are necessary to determine the effectiveness of local exhaust ventilation.

Ventilation Measurement Equipment

• Pitot tubes, rotating vane anemometers, and thermal anemometers are used to measure ventilation.
• Calculating static pressure of the fan (SPh) is necessary to determine the air flow rate.

Electricity Basis

• Voltage, current, and resistance are the fundamental components of electricity.
• Series and parallel circuits are used to connect electrical components.

Calculating Values of Voltage, Current, and Resistance

• Ohm's Laws are used to calculate voltage, current, and resistance in DC and AC circuits.
• Calculating power in DC and AC circuits involves determining the rate of energy transfer.
• Calculating resistance in DC and AC circuits involves determining the opposition to current flow.

Electrical Components

• Resistors, capacitors, and inductors are used in electrical circuits.
• Calculating the resistance, capacitance, and inductance in series and parallel circuits is necessary to determine the circuit's behavior.

Electrical Safety

• Electrical shock hazard, burns, and arc blasts are potential hazards of electrical systems.
• Controlling electrical hazards involves identifying and mitigating electrical risks.
• Exposed electrical parts, overhead power lines, inadequate wiring, and defective or damaged cords and wires are potential electrical hazards.
• Ground fault circuit interrupters and assured equipment grounding conductor programs are used to prevent electrical hazards.
• Safety-related work practices, such as planning and training, are essential to prevent electrical hazards.
