Book Description
This document provides the supporting scientific rationale required to accept or modify the interim soil criteria in the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Soil Quality Guidelines as final environmental quality criteria for arsenic. The document reviews the sources & emissions of arsenic, its distribution & behaviour in the environment, and its toxicological effects on humans and experimental animals. Human health soil quality guidelines are then derived for residential land/parkland, agricultural (residential use of farm property), commercial, and industrial land uses and the use of groundwater for drinking.
