Clive Williams: So allotments really are the most dangerous place in the UK.
Have to say that the numbers coming out of this model are extremely odd to
say the least. Intuitively you would not expect someone to be at greater
risk (and hence have lower threshold values) on an allotment than their
house, which must call into question the whole conceptual model used to
derive the SGVs in the first place.
Yes Clive
Don't be on that open ground too long or you never know what you might be
breathing in.
The fact that human exposure is modelled so incorrectly is heavily
underlined in the documentation for exposure patterns on allotments.
Even reading it one must wonder what world the model designers live in
because it certainly is not one on a parallel to mine.
I thought the fresh air and the open were meant to be good for you?
