Download or read book Assessing the Bioavailability of Metals in Soil for Use in Human Health Risk Assessments, Bioavailability Policy Project Phase II, Metals Task Force Report, Summer 2000 written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Phase II objective was to provide information on the role of bioavailability in evaluating human exposures to chemicals in soil and how this scientific information can be used to enhance risk assessment and remediation decisions at soil-sites. The BPP Working Group formed a Metals Task Force and an Organics Task Force to help focus on timely developments in basic and applied science and regulatory policies for each chemical group. Emphasis was placed on providing a greater context for understanding and using bioavailability in assessing human health risks and potential remedies, as well as identifying information needs for future decision-making. Each Task Force developed similar areas for investigation and study, which are as follows: Relative Bioavailability and Risk Determination; Methods for Assessing Bioavailability from Soils; Assessment of Current Scientific Knowledge; Future Research Needs; Regulatory Policies; Case Studies; Conclusions and Future Dire.
