14、 standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. Internationa

15、l organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules

16、given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at lea

17、st 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a technical committee may decide to publish other types of document: an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between tech

18、nical experts in an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members of the parent committee casting a vote; an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical committee and is accepted for publicatio

19、n if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting a vote. An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is confirmed, i

20、t is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an International Standard or be withdrawn. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for ide

21、ntifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/TS 17924 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 190, Soil quality, Subcommittee SC 7, Soil and site assessment. DD ISO/TS 17924:2007vIntroduction When assessing soils contaminated with, for example, metals, soil ingestion, especially by children, is of

22、ten considered to be the most important exposure pathway. Currently, this assessment is often carried out on the basis of the total content of the metals in question in the soil. However, several studies suggest that the availability of the metals in the gastrointestinal tract is dependent on the fo

23、rm of the metals present and the site-specific soil chemistry. Test methods based on in vivo tests with, for example, juvenile swine or mini-pigs are time consuming and expensive, and not very compatible with the decision processes connected with the assessment and clean-up of contaminated sites. At

24、 present, test methods are being developed and validated, which involve in vitro laboratory tests aimed at simulating in vivo results. This will reduce the cost and practicalities related to the use of such testing on contaminated land. Due to the large expenditure necessary for both private landown

25、ers and public funds set aside for the remediation of contaminated land, International Standards on the assessment of contaminated soil, especially with regard to human health, are in great demand. International Standards in this complex field will support a common scientific basis for the exchange

26、of data, development of knowledge and sound evaluation. Furthermore, International Standards will facilitate international recommendations and regulations. The aim of this Technical Specification is to describe the elements of such an in vitro test system, and give advice on the appropriate combinat

27、ion and use of these elements in the specific situation. In human health-risk assessment, “bioavailability” is specifically used in reference to absorption into systemic circulation, consistent with the toxicological use of the term. This encompasses bioaccessibility, which again is a combined measu

28、re of the processes determining the interaction between the metal associated with the soil and the liquid in the human digestion system. Bioavailability furthermore includes the absorption of the contaminant through a physiological membrane and the metabolism in the liver. The bioavailable fraction

29、is thus the fraction left after release into the human digestive liquid, transport across the intestinal epithelium and metabolism in the liver. A further description of these processes is given in Clause 4. When considering bioavailability as the fraction of the chemical that is absorbed into syste

30、mic circulation, two operational definitions are important, absolute and relative bioavailability. Absolute bioavailability is the fraction of the applied dose that is absorbed and reaches the systemic circulation (and can never be greater than 100 %). Relative bioavailability represents a compariso

31、n of absorption under two different sets of conditions, for example, from a soil sample vs. food or another matrix used in a toxicity study, and can be greater than or less than 1. This factor can be used in exposure assessments for exposure by direct ingestion of soil, for instance, if the absolute

32、 bioavailability of the metal in the specific soil is suspected to differ significantly from the absolute bioavailability implicit in the toxicity value/quality criteria used.

33、 application and selection of physiologically based extraction methods for the estimation of the human bioaccessibility/bioavailability of metals in soil 1 Scope This Technical Specification deals with the assessment of human exposure from ingestion of soil and soil material. This Technical Specific

34、ation gives guidelines to be used when choosing a physiologically based test procedure for the estimation of the human bioaccessibility/bioavailability of metals from contaminated soil in connection with the evaluation of the exposure related to human oral uptake. Suggestions are made for the use of

35、 as many generic-method elements as possible, but it is important that the choice of method be based on the needs of the specific investigation. Methods that are validated for specific metals and/or contexts are highlighted. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable

45、of soils and sites with respect to human exposure The characterisation of bioaccessibility/bioavailability is usually performed as a part of a risk and/or exposure assessment. A risk assessment comprises the following elements: a hazard identification; a dose-response assessment; an exposure assessm

46、ent; and, based on the above, a risk characterisation. An exposure assessment is the process wherein the intensity, frequency, and duration of human exposure of a contaminant are estimated, and it comprises the following: source identification and characterisation; identification of exposure routes;

47、 identification of relevant receptors/target groups; and, based on this, the actual exposure assessment. For the assessment of possible effects on human health, an analysis of the exposure routes is a prerequisite. Where receptors are not directly exposed to a contaminant, exposure assessment needs

48、to consider the various ways by which indirect exposure might occur and the significance of them. Human exposure from soil contamination may occur through different media. Directly from the soil, the following exposure routes exist. Soil ingestion, both dietary and through adherence to hands and unw

49、ashed vegetables, etc. Dermal contact. Ingestion of house dust that predominantly consists of soil material. Airborne exposure comprises the following: inhalation and ingestion of fugitive dust; inhalation of elevated outdoor concentrations; inhalation of vapours that have intruded into buildings. DD ISO/TS 17924:20074 Exposure through the food chain comprises the following: consumption of plants including crops, plants, wild plants and fungi; consumption of animals and animal products, including wild animals; consumptio
