Trace Organic Chemicals in Biosolids-Amended Soils: State of the Science Review.

This study set out to determine which TOrCs are of greatest concern in the soils, then categorized them in terms of priority. The assessment was based on available information on basic properties such as bioaccumulation and toxicity. A comprehensive literature review identified relevant data on fate, transport, biotransfer from soil to plants and animals, and toxicity in the terrestrial environment. Based on the review, data gaps were identified for the parameters most important for conducting terrestrial risk assessments. Published by WERF. 212 pages. Soft cover and online PDF. (2010)
