Soil Guideline Value
Soil Guideline Values (SGVs) are figures which are used in non-statutory technical guidance for assessors carrying out risk assessments to determine whether land is considered "contaminated" under United Kingdom law, that is "land which appears to... be in such a condition, by reason of substances in, on or under the land, that (a) significant harm is being caused or there is a significant possibility of such harm being caused..." This guidance stipulates three stages in such risk assessments: #Preliminary qualitative assessment including development of conceptual site model #Generic Quantitative Risk Assessment (GQRA) #Detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment (DQRA) Soil Guideline Values are used in the second stage, GQRA, to determine whether harm caused by long-term exposure to a given soil concentration of chemicals ''may'' present an unacceptable risk to ''human'' health in some ''generic'' land-use scenario. The SGVs are therefore conservative estimates for a given scenario. E ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
