QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
COMPLETE STUDY GUIDE
●● ACGIH
Answer: American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist
●● Acute Expose
Answer: Short term exposure of a toxic substance.
●● Acute Toxicity
Answer: Poisonous effects from a short-term exposure. The LD50 of a
substance (deadly does that 50% of test animals fall to toxicity) is the
measure of this.
●● Additive Effect
Answer: Biological response to multiple chemicals exposure that are
equal to the all the effects of the agents on their own.
●● Adsorption
Answer: Chemical bonding to soil particles/other surfaces.
, ●● Aerosol
Answer: A solid particle/liquid droplet suspended in air. These are larger
than a molecule that can be filtered form the air.
●● Antagonism
Answer: Two chemicals interfering with each other's actions or when
one interferes with the action of another.
●● Aquifer
Answer: Underground bed/layer of earth, gravel, or porous storage
containing water.
●● Asphyxiants
Answer: Chemicals starving the cells of an individual from life-giving
oxygen needed to upkeep metabolism.
●● Biodegradable
Answer: Quickly decomposable by the actions of microorganisms.
●● Biomagnification
Answer: Tendency of certain chemicals to get concentrated as they move
into and up the food chain.
