Project 1-3-01-05/06: Development of plant uptake and bioavailability models to quantify human health risk exposure pathways

Project Leader: Dr Euan Smith

Duration of Project: March 2006 - September 2009

Project Summary

This project will assess the potential for contaminant uptake by vegetable crops commonly grown by Australian gardeners, develop a soil to plant transfer model for contaminants to be incorporated into an exposure pathway assessment model and develop a bioavailabilty transfer model from plant to human using animal models.
