Recently the CDC changed the ‘level of concern’ in children with exposure to lead to 5 micrograms per deciliter of lead in blood. A clinician collected a 5.0 mL blood sample from a child playing on a playground painted in Pb-based paint and determined that the level of Pb in that sample was 2.5 x 10-6 g. What is the child's blood lead level in micrograms per deciliter?

Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. The accepted concentration for this purpose is 1 ppm chlorine or 1 g of chlorine per million g of water. Calculate the volume of a chlorine solution (in milliliters) a homeowner should add to her swimming pool to achieve 1.00 ppm chlorine if the solution contains 6.00 percent chlorine by mass and there are 6.63 ×104 gallons of water in the pool. (1 gallon = 3.79 L; density of liquids = 1.00 g/mL.)

It is recommended that drinking water contain 1.6ug/ml (parts per million) flouride (F-) for prevention of tooth decay. Consider a reservoir with a depth of 30.0 m and a diameter (diameter = 2 r) of 7.60 x10^4 m. (The volume is pi r^2 h) Calculate the amount of F- in grams that were added to the reservoir to give 1.6 ug/ml. How many grams of sodium flouride NaF, contain this much flouride? Note: NaF ---- Na+ + F- Please explain in depth and an easy to follow step by step process on how to solve. Thanks

The concentration of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) in the blood is sometimes used as a screening test for possible prostate cancer in men. The value is normally reported as the number of nanograms of PSA per milliliter of blood. A PSA concentration of 1.7 ng/mL1.7 ng/mL is considered low. Express that value in terms of the units shown. PSA= g/L PSA= kg/m3 PSA= mg/L
