Series: Civil Engineering ; 150(4) November 2002, 187-190(4)Publication details: 2002Subject(s): Summary: This reports on recent studies in northeast England, which reveal that soil arsenic concentrations are frequently above the Government's recently published guideline value of 20mg/kg for residential areas. Though this in itself does not imply a significant health risk, it does show that more frequent and complex contaminated-ground risk assessments are likely to be needed in the UK generally.
