Abstract/Summary

This report presents a review of the approaches and databases which SKB have used to derive concentration ratios (CRs) and distribution coefficients (Kds) to consider if they are robustly derived and fit for purpose. Credible alternative approaches are also considered. The focus of this review are SKB reports R-10-28 and TR-10-07 which describe the available site specific data and the subsequent derivation of CR and Kd values respectively for application in human assessment.
