Spatial and statistical analysis approaches to investigate the oral bioaccessibility of potentially toxic elements in Northern Irish soils
… fraction of a soil contaminant. Measuring oral bioaccessibility in vitro can be an acceptable estimate of contaminant oral bioavailability, eliminating the need for in vivo toxicology studies to estimate health risks from oral soil contaminant exposure.<br/><br/>Using soil samples from the …

Investigation of how oral bioaccessibility of potentially toxic elements in urban soils is affected by contaminant source and sampling techniques
… in unnecessary remediations. Therefore, in vitro bioaccessibility tests are applied to estimate the bioavailable contaminant fraction providing more precise information.<br/><br/>However, the controlling factors over PTEs bioaccessibility in urban soils are not adequately understood. This research …
