The recommended time weighted average air concentration for occupational exposure to water soluble hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) is 0.05 mg/m3. This concentration is based on the assumption that the individual is generally healthy and is exposed for 8 hours per day, 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year, over a working lifetime (that is from age 18 to 65 years). Assuming a body weight of 78 kg and inhalation rate of 15.2 m3/d over the working life of the individual, calculate the lifetime (75 years) CDI.
