Question

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits on healthful levels of air pollutants. The maximum level that the EPA considers safe for lead air pollution is 1.5 mg/m^3. If your lungs were filled with air containing this level of lead, how many lead atoms would be in your lungs? (Assume a total lung volume of 5.50 L.)

Step 1

Given: Concentration of lead = 1.5 mg/m^3, Lung volume = 5.50 L Convert 1.5 mg/m^3 to g/m^3: 1.5 mg = 0.0015 g 0.0015 g/m^3 * 5.50 L = 0.00825 g Show more…
