Subject: French guideline and limit values for soil contaminants
Dear Micky,
-
I have for some time tried to obtain information on French guideline and limit values for soil contaminants, without success, however. I wonder if you could help me?
My problem is briefly as follows: our company has been involved in a study of an industrially polluted site in France. However, we do not have the information of current valid French guideline values and/or limit values for soil pollution, regarding specifically oil hydrocarbons and polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins and furans.
I would be very grateful if you could point me to a source for this information.
Many thanks
Kim Dahlbo

Dear Kim
A couple more links for you, which have a Belgian dimension to them which might be of use in view of the current Dioxin debacle.
- Environmental Industrial placement sougnt by Belgian MSc student
www.ping.be/chlorophiles attempts to provide a balanced view on the usefulness of chlorine, it also has extensive dioxin related data on the site.
Cheers
Micky
