The Preliminary Pollutant Limit Value Approach: Manual for Users
1988
Small, Mitchell J.
The Preliminary Pollutant Limit Value (PPLV) Approach to developing guidance contamination levels in soil and water is an established procedure throughout the US Army. In 1984, Technical Rept 8210 was issued to provide users with a reference document as to pathway equations and efforts in the development of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Endangerment Assessments. In the approach, unique routes for human exposure to pollutants from a common medium (soil or water) are defined. Equations are presented for 7 such routes for water and 13 such routes for soil. These routes include water consumption, fish consumption, vegetable consumption, consumption of beef or dairy, direct intake of soil, either in ordinary activities or from a dusty worksite, and inhalation of volatile contaminants from a land site. In the case of beef and dairy consumption, consideration is given to animal exposure to a contaminant which is in feed material, drinking water or soil consumed when the animals graze.
