Exposure problem

Identify exposure problems, potential difficulties and hazards, equipment needed and available, make appropriate notifications to obtain outside help, study pre-plans if they exist, develop action plan (priorities, tactics, assignments to the ICS (Incident Command System) and Unified Command.

It should be recognized that the maintenance of any closed system can pose a hazardous exposure problem since most maintenance is performed while the plant is in operation and requires that workers be in close proximity to the operating equipment for long periods of time. Under such conditions, it is necessary to consider not only local contaminant releases but also physical hazards that may be present, such as noise and thermal radiation. 

There are human data on inhalation exposure of carbon disulfide that provide information on acute and chronic systemic effects. There are also data on immunologic, neurologic, developmental, and reproductive effects. There are some limited data on the carcinogenic potential of carbon disulfide, but these are preliminary and confounded by multiple exposure problems. There are no oral exposure datafrom humans and only limited information on dermal exposures. The dermal data address the occupational hazard of blister formation following accidental exposure. 

What form is the exposure likely to take and what degree of severity can be expected A number of factors must be taken into consideration in order to answer these questions. The form of the product is of critical importance. Liquids are more likely to be ingested or to cause skin or eye exposures than are solids. The converse is usually true of sprays or aerosol products. Inhalation problems may occur regardless of the form of the product. The amount of volume of the product is an equally important consideration. Manufacturers tend to utilize the same first aid statements across a product line. This is an acceptable practice only if, indeed, the exposure problems and their severity do not change as the amount of available product changes. Products that are to be diluted or mixed with other components deserve special attention. 

EPA concluded from the survey that the country had a radon exposure problem in its schools. While there was some correlation between schools with high radon levels and areas of the country with high radon levels, fully 10 percent of schools with elevated radon levels were located in areas with low potential for radon. Based on these findings, EPA confirmed its recommendation that all schools should test for radon. ... 

There are two important concepts in measuring the relative impact of radiation on matter one is the intensity of the radiation field, which represents a potential exposure problem, and the other is the actual energy deposited in matter, or the dose. Further, as far as human safety is concerned, the amount of energy absorbed in human tissue is more important than that absorbed in other types of matter. Each of these quantities have been assigned specific units in which they are measured. 

The argon in the air becomes radioactive on irradiation and its subsequent leakage from the recirculating gas system could cause personnel exposure problems. There are other gases that must be ruled out as reactor gases for the same reason. 

To avoid this exposure problem we could, as is described by de Vries et al. [25], apply the subgradient algorithm to a stronger formulation, say, CAPS. We re-lax the constraints y(S,j) < Letpj S) > 0 be the corresponding... 

The exposure problem is not the only problem that can occur with an ascending auction. Another is the threshold problem (see Bykowsky et al. [7]) which is an instance of the violation of the agents are substitutes condition. 

Did the auction design promote efficiency It depends on how bidders value the blocks. Suppose that values are independent and that the value of a third block is at most half the value of a pair of blocks, i.e., diminishing marginal benefits. In this case, a bidder should place bids on three licences as long as the total price of the three licences is less than the value he assigns to owning three licences. In this case bidders can express their preferences and efficiency is promoted. If the value of the third licence exceeds half the value of a pair, then the exposure problem of the SAA makes bidders reluctant to place a bid for three blocks that exceeds 1.5 times the value for two blocks. This is an obstacle to efficiency. 

However, lead inputs to a more localized atmosphere can occur by reentrainment of lead from depositional sites such as roadway soils and dusts to the contiguous atmosphere. Other sources of reentrained dust lead are fugitive dusts mobilized from point source waste storage or persisting surface contamination. The long half-life of lead in these media assures that resuspended lead levels in the atmosphere will pose exposure problems for future decades. 

Shorts. Shorts, hard shorts, or short circuits are defined here as erroneous (undesired and nnexpected) low-resistance connections between two or more networks or isolated points, typically exhibiting a fairly low electrical resistance value. Shorts are reported as failures of the isolation test of the prodnct. Shorts are produced in a variety of ways, inclnding exposure problems, underetching, contaminated phototools, poor ahgnment of layers, defective raw material, and improper solder levehng. 

Following the evaluation phase of the industrial hygiene and medical surveillance programs, one should have an excellent picture of where the problems are and a good handle on their significance. After clearly explaining the hazards to the miners, the operator needs to make available appropriate protective equipment to those employees working with exposures at or above the estabUshed lower control levels. Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be viewed as a temporary or interim step until a permanent solution to the exposure problem is implemented.
