Abstract
Soils not only can act as a (temporary) sink for many types of pollutants emitted as a result of human activities (e.g., following atmospheric deposition or accidental spills) but can also act as a source of pollutants that will affect other environmental compartments (transfer to air, water, or biota). Accumulation of toxic chemical pollutants and soil-borne pathogens in soils resulted in increased human exposure either via inhalation, dermal contact or ingestion of soil, or indirect exposure via dietary intake or drinking water. It is therefore crucial to develop tools to assess potential risks of human exposure to pollutants and to determine meaningful threshold concentrations in soils in order to protect human health.
