Choose one of the compounds from the hand-welding operation and one of the compounds from the paint booth operation. Search the Internet, and find the following data concerning the two compounds you chose; LC50, IDLH, vapor pressure, vapor density, target organs, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and reproductive toxicity.

Write one paragraph on each of the compounds explaining what the data tell you about the most likely exposure route and risk associated with each compound.
