A water treatment plant with an average flow of Q = 0.044 m3/s treats its water with alum (Al2(SO4)3 ⦁14H2O) at a dose of 25 mg/L. Alum coagulation is used to remove particulate matter, reduce the concentration of organic matter, and reduce the alkalinity of the water. If the organic matter concentration is reduced from 8 mg/L to 3 mg/L, determine the total mass of alkalinity consumed and the total mass of dry solids removed per day.

A family consists of an adult male weighing 70 kg, an adult female weighing 50 kg, and a child weighing 15 kg. The air they breathe contains 1 µg/m3 of a listed carcinogenic chemical, and the waste they drink contains 1 µg/L of the same chemical. Assume the air intake for adult and child is 20 m3 /day and water intake for adult and child is 2 L/day. The body retains 80% of the air pollutant and 100% of the water pollutant. Estimate the total chemical dose per kg of body weight for each family member per day correctly.
