Workshop on Deriving, Implementing, and Interpreting Soil Quality Standards for Trace Elements -- ch. 2. Derivation of ecologically based soil standards for trace elements -- ch. 3. Variation in soil quality criteria for trace elements to protect human health : exposure and effects estimation -- ch. 4. Implementation and use of terrestrial standards for trace elements -- ch. 5. Recommendations for the derivation of interpretable and implementable soil quality standards for trace elements; Also available in print edition N2 - "A comprehensive, practical, and state of the science overview, this book addresses the derivation of soil standards for trace elements and the implementation of these standards within regulatory and risk assessment frameworks. It provides a clear description of how to derive and implement soil quality standards for trace elements in order to assess human and environmental risks. The text covers scientific developments useful for resolving discrepancies in the setting and implementation of soil quality standards. It provides useful tips, do's and don'ts on how to deal with specific issues as variation of the natural background and how to deal with soil type dependent toxicity"-- UR - http://marc.crcnetbase.com/isbn/9781439830246 ER -
