Exploring Contaminant Thresholds In Mineral Fertilisers And Other Fertilising Products

Summary

This project will establish baseline data on levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) (heavy metal contaminants) in mineral (inorganic) fertiliser products sold in England. It will appraise the domestic implications of setting or reducing thresholds of PTEs across the EU and within the UK. The project will also explore the presence of a broader range of contaminants in fertilising products. This project aims to understand what safe and appropriate UK contaminant thresholds may be for human and environmental health, by critical appraisal of scientific evidence.
