| Short description: |
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to Regional
risk assessors on how to assess site-specific oral
bioavailability of metals in soils for use in human health risk
assessments. This guidance is focused on media-specific relative
bioavailability and does not address adjustments to default
absolute bioavailability values. Also, this guidance addresses
human health risk assessment and may not be necessarily useful
for evaluating ecological receptors. Finally, the guidance
document provides information on methodologies for directly
assessing bioavailability and does not pertain to indirect
methods for predicting bioavailability
