Abstract |
This document provides concepts and planning considerations for conducting human health risk assessments on potential pathogens in land-applied biosolids. As one component of U.S. EPA's Action Plan for setting new priorities for its biosolids program, this document summarizes the existing literature; defines critical pathogen stressors; develops conceptual models linking the most likely stressors, pathways and health responses of concern; evaluates the overall quality and utility of available risk assessment data; highlights existing tools and methodologies; and provides an outline of an Analysis Plan that identifies gaps in knowledge and research and methods needed to provide more scientifically defensible assessments relevant to U.S. EPA's decision needs. |
