| RB14 - Generic Human Health Assessment Criteria for Arsenic at Former Coking Works Sites This bulletin describes the development of generic human health assessment criteria for arsenic at former coking works sites. Arsenic is a common contaminant at former coke and coal tar processing works. However, the assumptions and input parameters used to derive existing Generic Assessment Criteria (GAC) may not reflect the conditions normally found at former coking works and this may result in GAC that under or over-estimate human exposure at such sites. This bulletin considers the input parameters used to derive GACs for this contaminant and considers their applicability to the conditions normally encountered at former coking works. The authors have derived Coking Works Assessment Criteria (CWAC) for the residential land use that may better reflect the risks posed by this contaminant at such sites. | |
