A balanced, comprehensive overview of Environmental Quality
Standards (EQS), Derivation and Use of Environmental Quality and
Human Health Standards for Chemical Substances in Water and Soil
addresses the selection and prioritization of substances for
standard derivation. With integrated content and up-to-date
information on assessment of regulations that affect the derivation
and use of EQS, it examines the derivation of these standards and
their implementation to protect human health and the
environment.
The book is based on contributions from thirty-five scientists,
regulators, and policy makers from eleven countries with individual
expertise across disciplines such as risk assessment,
environmental, health, economic, and social sciences. These
scientists summarize current knowledge on aquatic and terrestrial
environmental quality standards, placing these standards in a wider
socioeconomic and regulatory context. The book explains how to
derive environmental standards that are defensible from a
scientific and socioeconomic perspective. Using multidisciplinary
techniques applicable to water, sediments, and soils; the text
demonstrates how to select the best form and derivation method
relative to individual environmental standards.
The book presents an in-depth examination of when, where, and
how to implement environmental standards based on the social and
economic context. It includes detailed coverage of technical
approaches that shed light on the derivation and implementation of
EQSs. It also identifies future research that will help to underpin
the science of environmental and human health standards.
