| Short description: |
EXTRACT: As part of an ongoing evaluation of the science that underpins the CLEA model, the
Environment Agency decided to review research on screening approaches to plant
uptake of organic chemicals from soil. Several researchers have proposed uptake
models including Briggs et al. (1982, 1983), Chiou et al. (2001), Hung and Mackay
(1997), Ryan et al. (1988), Topp et al. (1986), Trapp and Matthies (1995), and Travis
and Arms (1988). The aim of this review was to evaluate the performance of these
models in assessing the risks posed by contaminated land, and compare these against
experimental data for vegetables and pollutants from the scientific literature.
