Abstract
Since the passing of the German Ordinance on Soil Protection and Contaminated Sites (Bundes-Bodenschutz-und Altlastenverordnung, BBodSchV) in July 1999, the examination procedure for the risk assessment of the soil–groundwater pathway has changed. Contaminant discharge from the soil into the groundwater has replaced the total contaminant content in the soil as the basis for the assessment of risk potential. Risk assessment is undertaken in the intermediate area between the non-saturated and the water saturated zone in the soil.
