Abstract
ABSTRACT New toxicity criteria published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for benzo(a)pyrene yield higher environmental screening levels (e.g., RSLs) and remediation goals than in the past. As a result, fewer hazardous material release sites may need remediation and for those that do, the magnitude of the remediation should be reduced.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Practice provides a multidisciplinary forum for authoritative discussion and analysis of issues of wide interest to the international community of environmental professionals, with the intent of developing innovative solutions to environmental problems for public policy implementation, professional practice, or both. Peer-reviewed original research papers, environmental reviews, and commentaries, along with news articles, book reviews, and points of view, link findings in science and technology with issues of public policy, health, environmental quality, law, political economy, management, and the appropriate standards for expertise. Published for the National Association of Environmental Professionals
