Download or read book A Protocol for the Derivation of Environmental and Human Health Soil Quality Guidelines written by Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment. Subcommittee on Environmental Quality Criteria for Contaminated Sites and published by Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment. This book was released on 1996 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides the rationale and guidance for developing environmental and human health soil quality guidelines for contaminated sites in Canada. It begins with background information on the National Contaminated Sites Remediation Program assessment and remediation framework, including the scientific tools developed to help assess and remediate contaminated sites. Information on the principles behind the soil quality guidelines derivation protocol is also included. This is followed by description of the processes for deriving environmental and human health guidelines. The protocol considers the effects of contaminated soil exposure on human and ecological receptors for given land uses (agricultural, residential/parkland, commercial, and industrial). The final section gives guidance on derivation of the final soil quality guideline. Appendices include information on methods and models employed in the ecological sections of the document, and on check mechanisms for indirect exposure from soil contaminants for the human health guidelines.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two documents dealing with clean-up standards for contaminated sites were issued for comment. a) A generic protocol for deriving soil quality criteria, issued by the Subcommittee on Environmental Quality Criteria for Contaminated Sites, Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME). b) A proposed quality criterion for lead in Ontario soils, issued by the Advisory Committee on Environmental Standards, Ontario Ministry of the Environment an d Energy (MOEE). This review critiques each of the consultation documents from the perspective of the housing sector, with a special emphasis on soils in urban centres. For each document, the review summarizes the rationale in layperson's terms, identifies the relative strengths of the arguments of which it is comprised and identifies the limitations for appropriateness from the viewpoint of the housing sector. Finally, the report compares derivation methods contained in the documents. The major difference between the two documents in terms of derivation methodology, is that the CCME protocol uses an approach based on risks to human health and ecology, while the lead rationale is based solely on health concerns. In terms of the application of the criteria, it appears that the Ontario lead rationale will be more restrictive vis-à-vis housing development.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document reviews two publications dealing with cleanup standards (quality criteria) for contaminated sites, one a generic protocol for deriving soil quality criteria and the other a proposed quality criterion for lead in Ontario soils. The review critiques each publication from the housing sector perspective, with a special emphasis on soils in urban centers. For each document, the review summarizes the rationale for the criteria, identifies the relative strengths of the arguments involved, and identifies limitations of the criteria such as scope, errors of omission, and simplifying assumptions. The review then assesses the criteria from the soil cleanup perspective, including their flexibility to deal with different building forms and systems and the predictability of costs and work required for compliance. Finally, the review compares derivation methods contained in the two publications.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing awareness of the irreversible and long-lasting impacts of deterioration and pollution of soils and sediments has had an important influence on environmental policies and research in the last decade. The complexity of the soil and sediment systems and its processes cannot be tackled properly unless scientists from different disciplines work together. With this in mind, a number of multidisciplinary soil research programmes have been started in various European countries. They involve different disciplinary approaches and they aim at different fields of application: agriculture, land use and town and country planning, drinking water supply, nature management. The results that are now appearing need to be integrated in a scientifically sound and useful way. The first European Conference on Integrated Research for Soil and Sediment Protection and Remediation was intended to foster this. The volume contains the edited and selected proceedings of this Conference.

Download or read book Environmental Analysis of Contaminated Sites written by Geoffrey I. Sunahara and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-03-12 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioremediation is a process applied to restore contaminated sites using biological tools. The success or failure of this process usually depends on an understanding of the biotechnological process as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the ecotoxicological tools used for its evaluation. This useful book offers a unique treatment of the subject, linking soil ecotoxicity tests, bioremediation and environmental risk assessment. It also, describes the inter-relationships between the laboratory and field ecotoxicologist, the biotechnology consultant and different international environmental regulatory agencies and explains how they seek to achieve a successful evaluation of contaminated site restoration.
Download or read book Bioavailability of Contaminants in Soils and Sediments written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-05-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioavailability refers to the extent to which humans and ecological receptors are exposed to contaminants in soil or sediment. The concept of bioavailability has recently piqued the interest of the hazardous waste industry as an important consideration in deciding how much waste to clean up. The rationale is that if contaminants in soil and sediment are not bioavailable, then more contaminant mass can be left in place without creating additional risk. A new NRC report notes that the potential for the consideration of bioavailability to influence decision-making is greatest where certain chemical, environmental, and regulatory factors align. The current use of bioavailability in risk assessment and hazardous waste cleanup regulations is demystified, and acceptable tools and models for bioavailability assessment are discussed and ranked according to seven criteria. Finally, the intimate link between bioavailability and bioremediation is explored. The report concludes with suggestions for moving bioavailability forward in the regulatory arena for both soil and sediment cleanup.
