GeoPro Talks: Why do Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs) Matter at My Contaminated Site?
A fundamental step in risk assessment is establishing what level of chemical contamination is safe. Toxicity reference values (TRVs) represent an exposure dose that people can safely be exposed to without adverse effects. Toxicity reference values are used to derive drinking water and soil quality guidelines, and to calculate hazard quotients (HQs) that determine risk […]
GeoPro Talks – Compilation and Evaluation of Fish-Specific Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs) for the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP)
Fish are an important receptor group ecologically and socioeconomically, and are often of key interest in aquatic ecological risk assessments (ERAs) at contaminated sites. Toxicity reference values (TRVs) are one tool used in ERAs.
