Abstract: Surface soil contamination is often regulated using guidance values that specify the maximum amount of pollutant that can be present without prompting a regulatory response. In the United States, there are at least 89 value ...

Abstract: Residential surface soil regulatory guidance values (RGVs) specify the threshold at which soil contamination requires action. Usually, these are risk-based values based on child ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure. ...

Abstract: Consumer batteries in urban litter can be significant sources of storm-water pollution. Recent studies have reported annual urban battery litter rates as high as 215 batteries per hectare of pavement and 0.4 batteries per ...

Abstract: Residential surface soil regulatory guidance values (RGVs) specify the threshold at which soil contamination requires action. Usually, RGVs are risk-based values based on child ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure. ...

Abstract: In many environmental jurisdictions worldwide, surface soil contamination is regulated using guidance values that specify the maximum amount of pollutant that can be present without prompting a regulatory response. Three ...

Abstract: Surface soil contamination is often regulated by using guidance values that specify the maximum amount of pollutant that can be present without prompting a regulatory response. In the United States, there are at least 88 ...

Abstract: An increasing number of municipalities are encouraging homeowners to implement on-site residential stormwater management. In some communities, this encouragement takes the form of a stormwater utility fee or rain tax that ...

Abstract: Measuring the heavy metal burden of “old contamination” soils (soils with aged contamination) can be challenging. Many laboratory procedures are currently in use and these can yield a wide range of burden estimates for the ...
