Long description:

This document provides a short guide to using the UKs soil guideline values and the CLEA Guidance. The CLEA Guidance can help suitably qualified assessors to estimate the risk that a child or adult may be exposed to a soil concentration on a given site over a long period of exposure that may be a cause for concern to human health. The CLEA Guidance does not cover other types of risk to humans, such as fire, suffocation or explosion, or short-term and acute exposures. Nor does it cover risks to the environment or the pollution of water.
