9.1 Quality criteria in soil

o-TCP

A limit value of 15 mg/kg has been calculated for o-TCP based on children’s ingestion of soil. A quality criterion of 15 mg/kg soil is proposed.

TCP containing less than 0.1% o-TCP

A limit value of 350 mg/kg has been calculated for TCP containing less than 0.1% o-TCP based on children’s ingestion of soil. A quality criterion of 350 mg/kg soil is proposed.

Quality criteria

15 mg/kg soil for o-TCP.

350 mg/kg soil for TCP containing less than 0.1% o-TCP.

9.2 Quality criteria in drinking water

o-TCP

A limit value of 11 mg/l has been calculated for o-TCP based on intake of drinking water. A quality criterion of 10 mg/l is proposed.

TCP containing less than 0.1% o-TCP

A limit value of 250 mg/l has been calculated for TCP containing less than 0.1% o-TCP based on intake of drinking water. A quality criterion of 250 mg/l is proposed. The limit value of 10 µg/l for AOX should also be observed.

Quality criterion

10 mg/l for o-TCP.

250 µg/l calculated for TCP containing less than 0.1% o-TCP and 10 µg/l for AOX.
