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!!" |

RAGS Part B is the
holy grail of screening levels. Simple document that gives the general risk
(intake) equations used in a quantitative risk assessment and the general
equations for screening levels termed PRGs (just a note: people use the
acronym PRGs for preliminary removal goals, preliminary remedial goals AND
preliminary remediation goals....generally we are talking about the same
thing). 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. |
