scope:
Orientation values for maximum background levels (OMBs) refer to standardised grass cultures that had been exposed as per VDI 3957 Part 2 for a period of 28 days and for several exposure periods per year. The present standard presents for several elements supra-regional OMBs. Supra-regional OMBs for further elements and groups of compounds will be established when sufficiently large and validated data sets become available.
Elements for which the present standard defines supra-regional OMBs are:
• arsenic (As)
• barium (Ba)
• bismuth (Bi)
• cadmium (Cd)
• chromium (Cr)
• copper (Cu)
• quicksilver (Hg)
• lead (Pb)
• antimony (Sb)
• vanadium (V)
• zinc (Zn)
