Q: How did EPA set its action level for arsenic? abide by the regulatory limits set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Table 1.

Iron is the second most abundant metal in the earth's crust, of which it accounts for about 5%. A: EPA also looked at human health risk when deciding where to take action. Illinois EPA conducted an investigation of the roadways in the Hegeler and Tilton neighborhoods in April 2003. The cadmium residential numeric value changed from 1.2 mg/kg to 110 mg/kg, and the non-residential surface soil numeric value changed from 6 mg/kg to 1,600 mg/kg.

How Many Parts Per Million And Parts Per Billion Of As, Pb And Fe Is Present In The Dust? The typical iron concentrations in soils range from 0.2% to 55% (20,000 to 550,000 mg/kg) (Bodek et al., 1988), and concentrations can vary significantly, even within localized areas, due to soil types and the presence of other sources. contaminated soil subject to the LDRs (63 FR 28556). The action level of 230 ppm equates to an additional cancer risk of one in 2,000. (g� Washington, DC 20460 November 2003 EPA replaced soil on these yards to the state cleanup level of 20 ppm arsenic or lower. Table 1. By controlling these factors, the public water system can reduce the leaching of metals such as copper, iron, and zinc from pipes or fixtures, as well as the color and taste associated with these contaminants. of the residents from exposure to the mercury. However, some states use an alternative cancer risk level and/or different exposure assumptions, and many states take into consideration the presence of arsenic at significant concentrations in naturally occurring background soils. Iron can occur in either the divalent (ferrous or Fe+2) or trivalent (ferric or Fe+3) states under The default value of 0W (0.15) corresponds to an average annual soil water content of 10 weight percent.
