Abstract

ABSTRACT New toxicity criteria published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for benzo(a)pyrene yield higher environmental screening levels (e.g., RSLs) and remediation goals than in the past. As a result, fewer hazardous material release sites may need remediation and for those that do, the magnitude of the remediation should be reduced.
