Document Summary
Lecture 10: list the four components of risk assessment. Hazard identification, toxicity assessment, exposure assessment, risk characterization: state different types of toxic substances. Teratogens ( ), mutagens ( ), carcinogens ( : state the definition of ld50. Lecture 11: describe the concept of hydrologic cycle. Evaporation, transpiration, evapo-transpiration, precipitation: state the general form of a mass balance equation for hydrologic systems. Change in storage = inflow outflow: define a watershed. Is a time record of the discharge of a stream, river or watershed outlet. How a watershed responds to rainfall: define runoff coefficient. = rate of water that runs of a surface divided by the rate of precipitation. Ocean, co2: name a process that is responsible for the uptake of co2 and conversion into organic matter. Plants, co2 photosysthesis -> organic matter: name a process that is responsible for the decomposition of carbon containing organic compounds to co2 and h2o.
