• understand factors that affect arsenic, lead and PAH bioavailability

• select appropriate methods to evaluate soil bioavailability

• use tools to develop soil bioavailability estimates and incorporate them into human health risk assessment.

Participants are invited to preview training materials at https://bcs-1.itrcweb.org

Participants interested in this3rd May training are invitedto register by sending an email to GSOP18@fao.org before the 20th March.
