| Short description: |
This workshop session report provides a background on the concept of crop-specific human exposure assessment for soil pollutants. This procedure allows for adaptation to different food habits, different life-styles, different regions and different levels of acceptable risks. Models for transfer into major food crops are combined with regional food baskets to give the exposure of the population, which can then be compared to tolerable risks based on health considerations and thus tolerable concentrations of pollutants in soil for the agricultural production and gardening can be derived. A Danish example is provided.
