1.  Cindy is the plant manager from Gemstone, and she has asked you to perform a sound level survey and noise dosimetry in the fabrication shop, which can get pretty noisy when all three mechanical power presses and the 12-foot shear are running at the same time for several hours a day. She also asked that you identify noise level exposures in the adjacent welding department. Your results indicate that the noise levels in the area are just above the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible exposure level for an average day in the fabrication department.

The welding department is adjacent to the fabrication department, and there is no separating wall. The welding operations are not quite as noisy, although the crackle of a well-adjusted MIG welder can be rather loud when welding mild steel. Noise monitoring and dosimetry of the welders indicated an exposure of just over OSHA’s Action Level of 85 Dba. In addition, you remember taking the survey readings and watching the noise level jump in the welding shop every time the power presses or shear cycled in the fabrication area.

After consulting with fellow industrial hygienists, it was determined that setting up a 12′ X 30′ noise barrier wall between the fabrication area and the welding area and adding noise absorption panels to both sides of the barrier wall and to the white-painted concrete walls in the fabrication department would decrease the sound levels in the welding area to several decibels below OSHA’s Action Level.

Of course, these engineering controls will cost $33,000 dollars. This is compared to a continuing hearing conservation program to include annual audiograms, or hearing tests, annual training, and providing noise protection for the welding department which is estimated to cost $9,000 per year. This amount would be saved each year if the engineering controls are installed.

If the company takes out a loan for $33,000 at 5% interest, what will the payback period be for the loan? Please consult your unit lesson for the necessary formulas. What would be your recommendation to the employer with respect to the options available? Please show your work. Make sure you justify your reasoning and that you consider the hierarchy of controls in your discussion.

Your response must be at least 200 words in length in addition to your financial analysis

2.

In the not-too-distant past, it was common for Occupational Safety and Health professionals to consider the hierarchy of controls according to the following priority order:

1. Engineering controls,
2. Administrative controls
3. Personal Protective Equipment

However, eliminating the hazard and substitution have usurped engineering control’s position at the top of the hierarchy although they have always been obvious best options, just not always included in discussions of the hierarchy of controls. Identify two examples where elimination of the hazard or substitution was, or might be, applied as a means of hazard control. Discuss some of the pros and cons of this option as compared to the other options in the hierarchy. You may also select examples from places you have worked or for which you have some familiarity.

ECS 375: Ecocinema Spring 2018 Prof. Vaughan

Final Project!!!

As ECS 375: Ecocinema aims at cultivating students’ critical thinking as well as interactive media skills, the final project gives students a chance to immerse themselves in a specific topic while expanding their understanding of the field. Therefore, the final project is flexible and aims to allow students to pursue learning and expressive opportunities not typical to a critical studies course. However, the project must clearly engage with the themes, readings, and larger issues of the course. Students have the option of doing a creative (screen-based, 3-5 minutes running time) or scholarly (8-page research paper) final project. The creative project must deliver an original screen media approach to the environment (a short film, an online format, a social media advocacy program), with a final 2-page report due May 2 that uses 5 references to support the project’s critical and conceptual strategies. Scholarly projects will address topics relevant to the course (this may include anything from a specific film’s history, to a particular environmental issue, to a global or local problem of environmental justice), culminating in an 8-page research paper with at least five sources. All projects must be approved by the instructor by April 17. Requirements and the timeline for the project: 1. Research and Multimedia Presentations – April 24-26 -a 5-minute audio-visual presentation of the project in its final form with necessary video, websites, or images -an explanation of the goals of the project, and their relevance to the course -a bibliography with of at least 5 relevant sources 2. Final Projects Report – May 2nd Creative: 2-page paper, with citations and bibliography, discussing the purpose, goals, and significance of the project, using references to reading materials and theories from the course Scholarly: 8-page research paper with 5-source bibliography .

MOVIE:  “GLOBAL DIMMING”

When we see the increase in global temperatures, there is always that  conspicuous absence of warming from 1940s – 1970s.  Scientists have  since discovered that there was a decline of sunlight reaching the earth  during this period; they called it “Global Dimming”.  Since there is no  direct correlation with CO2 during this period, some climate deniers use this data to refute the impact of CO2 on the global temperature.

 

However, many factors affect warming, including changes in incoming  solar radiation and the reflective properties of sulfate aerosols that  are released with the burning of fossil fuels.  Only when combining all  these factors together can we account for the rise in global temperature  across all the different decades – and even the lack of warming in the  mid-20th century.  This movie provides a  detailed explanation as to how the release of sulfate aerosols led to  reduced incoming solar radiation that ironically kept the globe from  warming.  It wasn’t until the clean air act in 1970 that global warming  resumed.  Even today, it is not clear how much the current pollutant  haze may be offsetting the total warming that would ensue in the absence  of air pollution.  Hence, we need to tackle both the release of CO2 resulting in global warming and the pollutant emissions – both factors that result from the burning of fossil fuels.

Assignment

Watch the movie “Global Dimming” and read the following arguments at skeptical science.com as to why there was no mid-20th Century warming.  https://www.skepticalscience.com/global-cooling-mid-20th-century-advanced.htmLinks to an external site.

Combine what you learn from this movie with the arguments to create a Personal Movie Discussion Board Essay/Blog for others to read. Use separate paragraphs for each item and keep your responses organized. As part of your essay/blog, include the following:

1. Describe four different data sets from the movie that led scientists to the discovery of global dimming, and explain how the Clean Air Act helped to eliminate this dimming.
2. Explain how the 3 day period after 9/11 and the related airplane contrails were a factor in the discovery of global dimming. Also describe how they determined the temperature rise during this 3 day period?
3. Explain how the global radiation budget is affected by sulfate aerosols compared to CO2. In your response describe how CO2 affects outgoing infrared radiation, describe how sulfate aerosols affect the incoming solar radiation, and explain the process of what happens when we reduce pollution emissions and airplane contrails.
4. Discuss the three most interesting things that struck you the most while watching the film. Explore your thoughts in depth on these three things. (100-200 words total minimum)
