Bioavailability - Metals, Organics, and Use at Hazardous Waste Sites
Superfund Basic Research Program
The next Risk-e-Learning seminar series focused on the science and policy issues of incorporating bioavailability into risk and exposure assessments. Largely drawing from the successful SBRP Bioavailability Workshop: "Assessing Bioavailability as a Determinant of Pollutant Exposure(http://www.uncsbrp.org/conference/index.cfm) " held in Tampa, FL (February 2008), the web seminar series featured SBRP researchers, EPA regulators, and NPL site engineers. The three-part series explored metals, organics and case studies where the consideration of bioavailability has significantly affected decisions about site management.
