Long Description:
This document provides a short guide to using the UKs soil guideline values and the CLEA Guidance. 
 
The CLEA Guidance can help suitably qualified assessors to estimate the risk that a child or adult 
may be exposed to a soil concentration on a given site over a long period of exposure that may be a cause
for concern to human health. The CLEA Guidance does not cover other types of risk to humans, such as
fire, suffocation or explosion, or short-term and acute exposures. Nor does it cover risks to the
environment or the pollution of water.
