The Preliminary Pollutant Limit Value Approach: Procedures and Data Base.

Abstract

The preliminary pollutant limit value approach has been devised to assist decision-makers in resolving human hazardous effects problems associated with the impact of known or suspected land or waste contamination on ongoing or future planned uses of facilities. The approach has been considerably refined and modified in the 7 years since its inception. This report is a comprehensive review of the approach, and provides step-by-step procedures to its implementation. Information relative to concepts and scientific rationales are presented. The approach requires data inputs from diverse disciplines such as toxicology, nutrition and physical chemistry. Useful literature sources are presented as well as representative values for many variables that are not pollutant-specific.
