Soil quality. Assessment of human exposure from ingestion of soil and soil material. Guidance on the application and selection of physiologically based extraction methods for the estimation of the human bioaccessibility/bioavailability of metals in soil. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This Technical Specification deals with the assessment of human exposure from ingestion of soil and soil material. This Technical Specification gives guidelines to be used when choosing a physiologically based test procedure for the estimation of the human bioaccessibility/bioavailability of metals from contaminated soil in connection with the evaluation of the exposure related to human oral uptake. Suggestions are made for the use of as many generic-method elements as possible, but it is important that the choice of method be based on the needs of the specific investigation. Methods that are validated for specific metals and/or contexts are highlighted.
