Gardening leave asside.... I have calculated a value of 80 mg/kg (8.36
E+1) for Inorganic Cd using the additional lifetime exposure data from
table 3 in combination with the standard no plant defaults. Has anyone
produced any different values?
I assume from reading the text that this value is ok for any underlying
soil regardless of pH because pH only affects plant uptake.
In regards to phenol, am I right in thinking that the generated values
for commercial (38,000 at SOM 6%) are effectively overwritten by the
default 3200 mg/kg value, that being 1/10th the contact irritation
threshold, for any organic value? At 0.5% SOM my generated commercial
phenol value is 28,000 which is below the threshold....
