Lead Risk Assessment for Contaminated Land: The Key Issues

Summer 2011 Workshop

Lead is a widespread contaminant which is a key contaminant of concern at many sites. Currently there is much uncertainty in the approach to assessing the risks to human health from lead. This workshop aims were to:

• identify the key uncertainties in the assessment of risks to human health from lead in soil
• find where there is (and is not) consensus of opinion on how these uncertainties are best managed in the risk-based decision-making process; and
• provide recommendations for possible further research to address any outstanding issues.

This workshop follows the same format as last year’s highly successful workshop with thought-provoking presentations in the morning followed by an afternoon of break-out session discussion groups.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): The Burning Questions

Summer 2010 Workshop

PAHs are prevalent in soils in many urban areas of the UK and can arise from a variety of sources, including the historical legacy of burning coal. This workshop aims to:

• identify the key uncertainties in the assessment of risks to human health from PAH’s in soil
• find where there is (and is not) consensus of opinion on how these uncertainties are best managed in the risk-based decision-making process; and
• provide recommendations for possible further research to address any outstanding issues.

The event will be structured with thought-provoking presentations in the morning followed by an afternoon of break-out session discussion groups.
