Risk Assessment of Total and Bioavailable Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) in Urban Soils of Baghdad

Who:  Samera Hama, Graduate Student

This study discussed new information regarding the risk of potentially toxic elements estimated based on total concentration and the bioavailability in contaminated soils. The sensitivity of risk estimation was calculated considering variables that might impact the certainty of the risk of soil-PTEs induced by inhalation and ingestion.
