is required. There are a wide variety of laboratory service companies available of which many are not suited for the use of providing analyses on air samples, water samples or surface wipes. The Skipper must look for the laboratory’s quality assurance and quality control program. Many laboratories participate in national laboratory accreditation programs which are managed by an independent association. Also that any field instruments in use are properly calibrated to the manufacturer 's…
The documentary, Roger and Me, directed, produced, and starred Michael Moore was about his journey to explain what happened to General Motors in Flint, Michigan.

You asked the following questions: “A new is building being built that is adjacent to an existing building. The existing building has a wet sprinkler system and the new building will have a wet sprinkler system with a separate riser. Both risers feed off the same looped fire line that circles the property. The AHJ wants to consider it one structure since the buildings are adjacent. The issues in question are: 1) Is there anything in NFPA 13 that restricts a building to having only one riser…
Since the 13th century to present day, the world has been suffering from pollution. Scientist have known about the Earth’s pollution issues for centuries, especially when coal was introduced. Air pollution is one of the worst forms of pollution. Scientists recognize air pollution as a threat to human health and ecosystems, especially in countries such as China. China is a country falling under the consequences of air pollution. Air pollution in China has become very out of control. There are…
With a basic understanding of the potential risks of indoor air quality and its impact on asthma, a closer inspection of the individual sources that diminish this air quality is necessary to adequately understand the extent of the problem. First, one source of poor indoor air quality is pests. Dust mites and fragments of cockroaches are part of common household dust. Dust is easily disturbed by even the smallest movement, causing it to float in the air until it is inhaled or lands on another…
Task 3 Task A Explain how and why the office staff might feel uncomfortable if the actual values were outside the range of acceptable values identified in Task 1. In any office, the room can be too warm when working as a result of the amount of people in room and the number of computers and printers which are generating heat. An overheated office can result in employees feeling too warm which will leave them perhaps too tired or uncomfortable to work. In order to reduce the heat in the office so…
Based on the data represented in figure 11.22, the system is under control. This is because variations appear to come from sources that are common to the process. In addition, the system shows a lot of stability and no need for corrections or changes. Important to note from the figure is that the process data can be used to predict the process future performance. For Systems not under control sources of variations are obtained by analyzing the chart since it results to a degraded process…
A root cause analysis (RCA) is a process used to determine why an incident or error occurred and used to develop effective solutions to prevent a reoccurrence. This process addresses three basic questions, what is the problem, why did it occur, and what can be done to prevent it (Root Cause Analysis, nd)? The root cause analysis is not designed to point fingers at individuals, its purpose is to help fix the issues or problems within systems or processes. Improvement is the goal, not to blame.…

increased the risk of adverse health effect are, but not limited to the lack of implementation in energy conservative measures, urbanization, climate change and quality of building materials. When energy conservation measures are not implement ventilation defects occur, which can cause condensation to build up. Due to urbanization the quality of the building structures decreases, as well as housing availability, which can lead to urban degradation. Houses that are overcrowded are more…
