Health Risk Assessment

ITRC instructors will present a two hour training to help participants understand how to use bioavailabilityto improve human health risk assessment and refinesoil remediation requirements.

As a participant in this training you will learn to:

• determine when a bioavailability assessment maybe appropriate

• understand factors that affect arsenic, lead and PAH bioavailability

• select appropriate methods to evaluate soil bioavailability

• use tools to develop soil bioavailability estimates and incorporate them into human health risk assessment.

Participants are invited to preview training materials at https://bcs-1.itrcweb.org

Participants interested in this3rd May training are invitedto register by sending an email to [email protected] before the 20th March.
