Question: 1 . 2 . 2 6 Ice - resurfacing machines use internal combustion engines that give off exhaust containing CO and NO , Average CO

1.2.26 Ice-resurfacing machines use internal combustion engines that give off exhaust containing CO and NO, Average CO concentrations measured in local ice rinks have been reported as high as 107 ppm and as low as 36 ppm. How do these concentrations compare with an outdoor air quality 1 h standard of 35 mg/m'? Assume the temperature equals 20\deg C.
2.2.29 The National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for sulfur dioxide (SO-) is 0.14 ppm/(24 h average).(a) What is the concentration n ug/m\deg assuming an air temperature of 25\deg C?(b) What is the concentration in moles SO, per 10/ moles of air?
3.3.38 Copper was used as a fungicide in citrus orchards that are being considered for a stormwater retention project as part of the Everglades restoration effort. Copper accumulates in apple snails, a primary food source of the federally endangered bird called the Everglades Snail Kite.The protessional engineer at BTA Inc. is considering two former citrus production areas for construction of a stormwater treatment areaa 1,500-acre site with soils having a copper content of 220 ppm and a 2,000-acre site with 160 lb of copper uniformly distributed in the top 6-8 in of soil. Which site would our female engineer recommend for the project if the ecological threshold to support the Everglades Snail Kite is 85 mg Cu/kg? Ecological threshold means that the soil concentration of copper cannot exceed this value. Assume the plow layer of soil (upper6-8 in.) for the 2,000-acre site weighs 2,000,000 lb]]
4.2.40 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of organic chemicals associated with the combustion of fossil fuels. Undeveloped areas may have total PAH soil concentrations of 5 ug/kg, while urban areas may have soil concentrations that range from 600 to 3,000 ug/kg.What is the concentration of PAHs in undeveloped areas in units of ppm..?
5.2.46 In 2018 landfils in the United States produced approximately 110.6 Tg COe of methane emissions. Wastewater treatment plants emitted 14.2 Tg COle of methane. (a) How many pounds and metric tons of methane (reported as CO, equivalents) did landfills and wastewater plants emit in 2018?(b) What percent of the total 2018 methane emissions (and greenhouse gas emissions) do these two sourcesssions in 2018 were 6,676.6 CO.b.1contribute (total methane emissions in 2018 were 634.5 Tg COse, and total greenhouse gas emissions in 2018 were 6,676.6 CO,*)
