If there were some other guidelines I would be using them but alas...
Main standards for contaminated land are ATSDR, health Canada, RIVM
(dutch), the USEPA (including RAIS), and Texas commission on
environmental quality, all web links below
http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxpro2.html
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/contaminants/index_e.html
http://www.rivm.nl/en/
http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/iris/index.cfm
http://rais.ornl.gov/tox/tox_values.shtml
http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/remediation/trrp/guidance.html
A very pertinent question about CLEA, currently the publication of
further CLEA guidance is on hold until such time that the government and
relevant regulatory bodies can decide who is responsible for making
important decisions, what decisions need to be made, and politically if
these decisions can be made.
In general I would look at the USEPA as they are done the most work in
this area, and are generally ahead of everyone else, a lot of the CLEA
guidance in relation to quantitative human health assessment is derived
from EPA work.
Hope this helps

Hi
I hope that you can help. I am currently doing some research looking at
the various standards/models available for contaminated land.
I have identified the Dutch List and CLEA.
Does everyone in the UK follow the CLEA guidelines, or are other
guidelines
used? If so, can you let me know which ones?
Thanking you in advance for your help
Regards
Gina
