| Résumé : | The purpose of this document is to assess, evaluate, and give guidance on the role of elemental speciation and speciation analysis in hazard and risk assessment, rather than to present a review of each element and its speciation. The effects on the environment are not considered in this document, as this has been the topic of a recent conference and associated documentation. However, exposure of the human population through environmental routes is considered. This document is directed at risk assessors and regulators, to emphasize the importance of consideration of speciation in their deliberations. Until now, this issue has not been a part of most hazard and risk assessments. Further, one of the aims of the document is to increase knowledge on the effect of speciation on mode of action and understanding of health effects. The emphasis is not on nutritional requirements, but on the toxicity of elements to humans. Consideration is made not only of consumer/general exposure but also of occupational exposure. |
