ABSTRACT

This book is the result of discussions that took place at a Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)-sponsored Technical Workshop on deriving, implementing, and interpreting soil quality standards (SQSs) for trace elements (TEs). The workshop took place in July 2008, in Sydney, Australia, and built on the outputs of a number of other previous SETAC workshops, specifically, the recent workshop on the derivation and use of Environmental Quality Standards in soils and water (Crane et al. 2009) and the work by Carlon (2007).
