| This source is the new king of screening levels. EPA got all Regions 3, 6 and 9 together and, in 2009, came up with these. There are residential and industrial screening levels for soil, air and tap water. EPA regions still have their old screening levels on their websites but with notices to use these. The site also contains a Screening Level Calculator to assist in calculating site-specific screening levels and links to the California Human Health Screening Levels. Good job EPA!!" | |||||||||||||

No actual soil levels but does have the original exposure default values used in EPA risk assessments and general calculations of the goals. Examines various pathways and media, though mostly for use with soil. Some of the inhalation defaults have changed since this was written, but it is still a must have for those attempting to determine their own screening levels. | |||||||||||||
