a  – as sum of heptachlorine a heptachloroepoxide
b – sum of chloroform, bromdichloromethane, dibromchloromethane and bromoform
c – for Cr VI
x – for subsystem 1 – fenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyren, di-benz[a,h]antracen, benzo[g,h,i]perylen, indeno[c,d]pyrene
for subsystem 2 – benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene, indeno[c,d]pyrene

Notes:
Subsystems: 1 – air pollution, 2 – drinking water, 4 – dietary exposure, 5 – biological monitoring

Evaluation of human carcinogenity:
EPA: Group A – human carcinogen, group B1 – probable human carcinogen, limited human data are available, group B2 – probable human carcinogen, sufficient evidence in animals and inadequate or no evidence in humans, group C – possible human carcinogen, group D – not classifiable as to human carcinogenity
IARC: Group 1: human carcinogen, group 2A: probable carcinogen to humans, group 2B: possible carcinogen to humans, group 3: unclassifiable as to carcinogenity in humans

ADI – acceptable daily intake
PMTDI, TDI, PTWI – provisional maximum tolerable daily or tolerable daily (weekly) intake
RfD – reference dose for chronic oral exposure (US EPA)

Type of limit concentration in air:
IHd – 24 -hour concentration limit, in case of ozone 8-hour limit
IHa – annual concentration limit
MACd – maximum 24-h admissible concentration
MACa – maximum annual admissible concentration

Type of limit values in drinking water:
MLV – 1 (maximal limit value)
LV – 2 (limit value)
MVRR – 3 (maximum value of reference risk)

Monitoring of municipal soil pollution has not been in routine, therefore subsystem 8 is not included.
