Pb, Tl and As in water, sediments and soils in the vicinity of flotation reservoirs in the Bukowno area - Ecological Risk Assessment

Abstract

This work presents the method of Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) for the river and soil contaminations in the Bukowno area. Priority hazardous substances Pb, As and Tl were assessed. ERA was calculated using concentration of Pb, Tl and As in the river water, sediments and soils. The Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) was determined for carcinogenic As (10/-4) and non-carcinogenic Tl (0.39)
