Habitual exposure to noise above 85 dB will cause a gradual hearing loss in a significant number of individuals, and louder noises willaccelerate this damage. Noise-induced hearing loss can be temporary or permanent. Noise (defined as unwanted sound) is a pervasive, insidious cause of hearing loss. It causes no particular pain unless it is as loud as a rifle blast. Chemical-induced hearing loss involves ototoxic chemicals (and examples) include: organic solvents (styrene, trichloroethylene, mixtures) heavy metals (mercury, lead, trimethyltin) asphyxiates (carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide) The ears have considerable comeback power from brief exposure to intense noise and ordinarily recover within 14 hours or so (this is calleda temporary threshold shift (TTS), typically most prominent at 4000 Hz). Domain 1: Advanced Sciences and Math 35 However, prolonged exposure to intense noise gradually damages the cochlear hair cells of the inner ear, resulting in a prominent threshold shift (PTS) across multiple frequencies (Plog 2012). The average measured hearing range of an unimpaired person is 20-20,000 Hz. Below 20 Hz is subaudible; above 20,000 is uhrasonic. Human speech ranges from 300 to 4000 Hz. Generally, noise-induced hearing loss occurs at a pitch of about 2000-4000 Hz. The external portion of the ear (auricle/pinna) collects sound waves from the air and funnels them into the ear canal. They are transported to the tympanic membrane (eardrum). The collected sound waves cause the eardrum to move back and forth in a vibrating mechanical motion that is passed on to the bones of the middle ear. The outer ear consists of the pinna, external auditory canal, and ear drum. The middle ear consists of the hammer, anvil, and eustachian tube. The inner ear consists of the semicircular canals, cochlea, organ of corti, and cochlear nerve. The hearing conservation program requires employers to monitor noise exposure levels in a way that accurately identifies employees exposed to noise at or above 85 decibels (dB) averaged over 8 working hours, or an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA). Employers must monitor all employees whose noise exposure is equivalent to or greater than a noise exposure received in 8 hours where the noise level is constantly 85 dB. Employers need to worry about noise exposure when threshold shifts are large at one frequency, when they are moderate at two or more adjacent frequencies, or when even small successive shifts occur consistently over a period of years. OSHA^ current definition of a shift to worry about, a significant or "standard" threshold shift, is an average shift of 10 dB or greater at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz in either ear (Hearing Conservation Manual, 4th edition). NIOSH establishes Recommended Exposure Limits (REL) for noise based on the best available science and practice. The NIOSH REL for noise is 85 decibels, using the A-weighting frequency response (often written as dBA) over an 8-hour average, usually referred to as Time-Weighted Average (TWA). Exposures at or above this level are considered hazardous. OSHA sets legal limits on noise exposure in the workplace. These limits are based on a worker's time-weighted average over an 8-hour day With noise, OSHAs permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 90 dBA for all workers for an 8-hour day Occupational standards specify a maximum allowable daily noise dose, expressed in percentages. For example, a person exposed to 85 dBA per NIOSH or 90 dBA per OSHA over an 8-hour work shift, will reach 100% of their daily noise dose. Any noise above 140 dB is not permitted. The noise dose is based on both the sound exposure level and how long it lasts (duration), so for each increase or 3-dB (NIOSH) or 5-dB (OSHA) in noise levels, the duration of the exposure should be cut in half (this is what's referred to as exchange rates in standards). Table 4 illustrates the relationship between sound exposure levels and durations for both NIOSH and OSHA.

Answer: C, An alveolus (plural; alveoli) is an anatomical structure that has the form of a hollow cavity. Found in the lung parenchyma, the pulmonary alveoli are the terminal ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs or alveolar ducts, which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well.The alveolar membrane is the gas-exchange surface. Carbon dioxide-rich blood is pumped from the rest of the body into the alveolar blood vessels where, through diffusion, it releases its carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen. The pleural cavity is the thin fluid-filled space between the two pulmonary pleurae (visceral and parietal) of each lung. The outer pleura (parietal pleura) is attached to the chest wall. The inner pleura (visceral pleura) covers the lungs and adjoining structures, including blood vessels, bronchi, and nerves. The bronchioles, or bronchiole, are the passageways by which air passes through the nose or mouth to the alveoh (air sacs) of the lungs, in which branches no longer contain cartilage or glands in their submucosa. They are branches of the bronchi and are part of the conducting zone of the respiratory system. The bronchioles divide further into smaller terminal bronchioles that are still in the conducting zone, and these then divide into the smaller respiratory bronchioles that mark the beginning of the respiratory region. The trachea, colloquiallycalled the windpipe, is a cartilaginous tube that connects the pharynx and larynx to the lungs, allovidng the passage of air. 3. Answer; C. Aerobic capacity refers to the maximum amount of oxygen consumed by the body during intense exercises, in a given time frame. It is a function both of cardiorespiratory performance and the maximum ability to remove and use oxygen from circulating blood. Maximum aerobic work capacity is often referred to physical work, endurance, or capacity. 4. Answer; A. Abduction is defined as movement away from the central axis of the body—away from the median plane. Flexion is movement that decreases the angle between two adjacent bones. Extension is movement that increases the angle between two adjacent bones. Adduction is defined as movement toward the central axis or midline—the opposite of abduction. 5. Answer; D. The carpal tunnel, or carpal canal, is the passageway on the palmar side of the wrist that connects the forearm to the middle compartment of the palm. The tunnel consists of bones and connective tissue. Several tendons and the median nerve pass through it. 6. Answer; C. When light enters the eye, it first passes through the cornea. Its main function is to refract, or bend, light. The lens focuses light rays onto the light sensitive retina, where it is changed into a signal that is transmitted to the brain by the optic nerve. The signal is received and interpreted by the brain as a visual image. The pupil is the opening of the iris. The pupil may appear to open (dilate) and close (constrict), but it is really the iris that is the prime mover; the pupil is merely the absence of iris. The pupil determines how much light is let into the eye. 7. Answer; B. The liver secretes bile, stores fat and sugar as reserve energy sources, converts harmful substances to less toxic forms, and regulates the amount of blood in the body The kidn^s remove waste products from the blood and produce urine. As blood flows through the kidneys, the kidneys filter waste products, chemicals, and unneeded water from the blood. The duodenum is the first and shortest segment of the small intestine. It receives partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach and plays a vital role in the chemical digestion of chyme in preparation for absorption in the smallintestine. Many chemical secretions from the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder mix with the chyme in the duodenum to facilitate chemical digestion. The stomach receives chewed food from the esophagus. Tiny glands in the stomach's lining secrete gastric juice, which contains acids, mucus, and enzymes. 8. Answer; D. The skin consists of three layers; Epidermis; thin outer layer and produces melanin Dennis; thick underlying layer that stores much of the body's supply of water, regulates temperature, and contains glands, nerves, and blood vessels for the skin. Hypodermis; fatty layer for insulation and shock absorption. Domain V. Advanced Sciences and Math 37 9. Answer: B. a tan A = — b b = tan A 110 b = tan 32 b = 176 ft 10. Answer; D.

Distance = Speed x Time. 70 mph X1.47^^ mph x0.75 sec =77.12 ft 14. Answer: C. The workers weight is a function of gravity. The worker's weight is 175 pounds in the gravity of earth; so, at rest (stationary) the worker is experiencing 1 "G" force. 950 - 175 = 775 pounds additional force; 175 lb = 1 G. Therefore, 775/175 = 4.4 G. Remember in the measurement of G forces, positive or negative, always measure from the baseline of +1 G (one gravity). 15. Answer: A. The mass of the cotton bail, m, is given as 227 kgm. The initial velocity, Vq, is given as 10.0 m/s. The final velocity, v, is given as 20.0 m/s. The time elapsed, t, is given as 5 s. Step 1: Solve for acceleration. a=^ t 20 m/s - 10 m/s a = = 2m/s^ 5 s Step 2: Solve for force. F = ma F = (227 kgm)(2 m/s^) = 454 N 1-N Force = 1.0 kilogram of mass (kgm) x 1.0 m/s^ constant acceleration 16. Answer: C. The atomic weight of oxygen is 16, which means that one mole of oxygen weighs 16 grams. So, 10 grams divided by 16 = 0.63 moles of oxygen. 17. Answer: A. Only the first equation is balanced and represents the mixture of two substances, which explode on contact. The hypergolic reaction shown is that of hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide. 18. Answer: A. Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface.This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent. This process differs from absorption, in which a fluid (the absorbate) is dissolved by or permeates a liquid or solid (the absorbent), respectively Adsorption is a surface-based process while absorption involves the whole volume of the material. The term "sorption" encompasses both processes, while desorption is the reverse of it. Adsorption is a surfacephenomenon. 19. Answer: C. Organic chemistry is a chemistry subdiscipline involving the scientificstudy of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials (i.e., matter in its various forms that contain cathon atoms). Examples of organic compounds include table sugar, methane (hydrocarbons), DNA, proteins, nucleic acids, and enzymes. Organic molecules and compounds are generally associated with living organisms. Inorganic chemistry deals with the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometaUic compounds. Some examples of inorganic compounds are table salt, diamonds, ammonium chromate, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen fluoride and silver oxide. Inorganic compounds almost always lack carbon. 20. Answer: B. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. It measures the acidityor basicity of a solution. A pH of 7 means it is a neutral solution. Pure water has a pH of 7. A pH of less than 7 means the solution is acidic. A pH of more than 7 means the solution is basic. The less pH, the more acidic the solution is. The more pH, the more basic the solution is. pH stands for the power of H, or the amount of ions, acids or bases take or contribute in solution. pH equals the negative log of the concentration of (Figure 6). pH = -log[H^l When the concentration of ions in a solution is 10'^"^, the pH is 14.

Answer: B. The statistical term for the amount of i -I Perfect positive correlation 1 -.9 association between two variables is correlation..8 The coefficient of correlation is an expression of the.7 correlation as a number between 0 and 1. Thus a.6.5 perfect coefficient of correlation is 1; on the other.4 hand, 0 represents no correlation. In the scatter.3.2 diagram shown in this question, it is obvious that.1 This area is not there is a strong correlation between the "Y" and "X" 0 Spurious — reliable and is not -.1 used in safety workl data; however, the correlation is not perfect, and -.2 there are many dots that seem to have no correlation. -.3 H -.4 It is also evident by inspection, that the correlation -.5 is inverse or negative; that is, with every increase in -.6 -.7 "Y" value, there is a decrease in "X" value. The two -.8 sets of data are inverselyrelated. The only selection -.9 -1 Perfect negative correlation that offers a strong negative correlation is "B." If the data had a strong positive correlation, it could Figure 10 Correlation be represented by the chart shown here, in which case selection "A"would be the best choice. Answer "C" and "D" show almost no cor
