Bibliography

Assesses the safety implications of growing media and soil improvers. This assessment gives a framework in which guidelines have been suggested to protect users (the exposed human population in general), the environment (fauna, flora and ecosystems in a broad sense, including water and soil) and plants that are grown in the growing medium or soil improver. Each hazard is discussed separately and includes: - a description of the hazard; - existing regulations that are relevant; - a discussion of the applicability of the hazard to growing media and soil improvers; and - recommended safety guidelines formulated by WG2 of CEN/TC 233.
