NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

document gives estimated ranges up to 0.06 for PCBs and 0.03 for dioxins from soil (USEPA, 1992b). Michaud et al (1994) used 0.02 for dioxins and 0.03 for PCBs uptake from a sooty surface, based on the ranges of estimated ABSD values for soil. The Binghamton panel used a range of values for PCBs (0.01, 0.1, and 0.5) and dioxins (0.01 and 0.1) (New York State Dept. of Health, 1985; Kim and Hawley, 1984).

Reported ranges for dermal uptake for PCBs in solvent vehicles are reported to range from 15 to 56%, with most of the values clustering around 20% (ATSDR, 1993). Reported ranges for 2,3,7,8-TCDD in solvent vehicles are reported to range from 1 to 40% (ATSDR, 1988). Therefore, it seems that even if absorption from the wall material might be enhanced by residual solvent, the maximum possible absorption of 100% would be unrealistic even for worst-case exposure.
