What is the contaminant concentration limit for Benzene under the Generic Remedy Cleanup Alternatives?

The contaminant concentration limit for Benzene under the Generic Remedy Cleanup Alternatives is set at 0.1 parts per million (ppm). This limit is established to ensure that environmental safety is maintained and that the risks associated with exposure to Benzene, a known carcinogen, are minimized.

Keeping the concentration at this level helps to protect public health and the environment by reducing the likelihood of negative health effects associated with Benzene exposure. This limit is grounded in toxicological studies and environmental health assessments that identify how even low levels of such contaminants can pose significant risks, especially over prolonged exposure.

In conclusion, the limit of 0.1 ppm reflects a careful balance between adequate cleanup efforts and practical implementation considerations, ensuring that contaminated sites are addressed effectively while safeguarding public and environmental health.
