Event overview
Most generic assessment criteria assume that the total amount of contaminant in soil is bioavailable. While this is suitably overprotective for a GAC, site specific assessment criteria can be developed that better reflect site soils. In this case laboratory tests that seek to mimic what happens to soil when it is ingested can be used to provide estimates of bioavailability for use in human health risk assessment.
Paul Nathanail and his team pioneered the use of bioavailability estimates in detailed quantitative risk assessment well over 15 years ago. He also wrote the CIEH Professional Practice Note on how to review reports using bioavailability estimates and is currently working on further developing our understanding of how contaminants behave on entering the human body - whether through the mouth, nose or skin.
