Brownfields are described as former industrial sites - factories and associated land, such aswarehouses or landfills, which are now abandoned or underutilized. Brownfields have the following
characteristics: they are often built or vacant sites contaminated (soil or water) by chemicals or otherpollutants (Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Ontario, 2000). The strong growth urbanpopulation, coupled with the expansion of cities, have refocused these sites once on the outskirts of cities, to densely urbanized spots. Strong pressure on land and urban real estate has pushed to find newareas for urban development. Urban brownfields have a reserve of space but create a problem relatedto the rehabilitation of contaminated land.
Among the issues, assessing the impact of chemical contaminants emitted by past humanactivities is a major scientific question. Thus the realization of their history would be a pre-diagnosisof their toxic potential. Indeed, soils are receptacles, and potential reservoirs of contaminants to whichpeople can be exposed by different routes of contacts. If this toxicity was managed upstream through aconsideration of environmental constraints, clearance and profitable use of brownfield sites would notbe a "burden" for landowners. Indeed, the often high costs of post-decontamination represent a majorobstacle to their redevelopment.
Thus, the geostatistical interpolation of pollutant concentrations in soil, associated withspecific scenarios, cartographic modeling allow a risk of a site and can assist decision-makers toestablish an action plan to put implemented for the success of their projects and optimize costs.

The health risk is the ratio, depending on environmental parameters, between exposure tosubstances referenced and their toxicity; which beyond a certain threshold characterizes a danger tohumans. Thus if the risk is> 1, there is dangerous toxicity, and vice versa.
Risk = ECD / VTR
The EDI (Acceptable Daily Exposure) refers to the amount of pollutant absorbed by the bodywithin a defined activity. It is calculated from the concentration of pollutants and based on weight of
the individual and the numbers of days of exposure to a carcinogenic substance not, or numbers of days of lifetime, to a carcinogen (Development -durable.gouv, 2011, U.S. EPA, Exposure AssessmentHH).
The VTR, Toxic Reference Value represents the amount of pollutant toxic to humans. It isdescribed as "with threshold" when a maximum level of safe exposure for humans has beenestablished as the principle of the critical dose, and as "with no threshold" when we extrapolate effectsbased concentrations absorbed.
These concepts have been defined by major international organizations responsible forpollution risk (ATSDR, INERIS, Health Canada) creating a consensus around these principlesquantification of absorption of toxic substances by man.
Modeling:
General Principle:
The combination of the intrinsic characteristics of a pollutant to the environmental parametersof the scenario can be modeled for each route of exposure ECD. Indeed, the general idea is to link theproperties of a pollutant from the soil (concentration, volatility...) and its effects on man and on whatterms it will be absorbed by the body. This develops a scenario describing the characteristics of subjects or (weight, quantity absorbed...) and activity (time, effort...).
The choice of scenario is of utmost importance because the substance properties are constantregardless of the choice of the population concerned. Therefore the factors Time / Attendance andabsorbed Quantity / Weight are essential for the accuracy of ECD (Zmirou D. et al. 2003).

These are the input vectors of substances in the body. They are many due to the fact that thebody is complex and permeable. Only direct exposure pathways, ie having no intermediary betweenman and the pollutant (ie contamination and accumulation of pollutants along the food chain) were
studied (D. et al Zmirou . 2003). It should be distinguished, because despite having the same originsand despite the fact that the effects of pollutants on the body are unchanged, these vectors of contamination have a clean transfer model.
Exposure by Ingestion
In any scenario, the risk of exposure by ingestion is the amount of soil that is absorbed into thebody. These values differ depending on the population concerned (U.S. EPA, Exposure FactorsHandbook).

and Tm, the time averaged (days)Tm = DE * 365 for threshold substances,Tm = 70 * 365 for non-threshold substances.
Inhalation Exposure:
Pollutants may dissolve in the water in the soil and end up in the air because of their volatilityand evaporation. Indeed the toxins are transferred from the solid phase to the aqueous phase via theKoc and then to the gas phase via Henry's law (US. EPA).
Inhalation of gases from a contaminated soil
Thus, the concentration of pollutant that can be inhaled from the soil, Ci is:

Inhalation within the EDI can be calculated from the concentration of pollutants in outdoor airthrough a diffusion factor α. (D. Henryon, 2009).

Main Target Organs
Each pollutant has own effects on the body. However, the image of their group by chemicalfamily (BTEX, PAHs, COHV, ...) various studies have shown that they could address the same organsas a priority and therefore it was possible to together, either by their composition, but by their behavior(Lemière B. et al., 2008) and therefore according to their main target organs.

For a given chemical compound i, its ECDs (after P. Imray, A. Langly, 2001) are cumulative
and are listed by primary target organs j.Therefore there is for each pollutant and by target organ, an ECD as:
= ECDInh + ECDIngand' =/)'
These factors are combining to a single organ, regardless of the component, it helped to modeled riskorgans (E. Nerrière, D. Zmirou, 2001).

APPLICATION:
Study Area:
The application of this methodology was tested on an industrial wasteland: the Union sitelocated in the towns of Roubaix-Tourcoing-Wattrelos in northern France. This site has housed variousindustrial activities on an area of 80 hectares (brewery, textile, petrochemical, metallurgy, gas works,coal yard, yard, etc), as well as the workers' dwellings. This site became an urban industrial wasteland
in the wake of industrial decline that began in the '70s (website of the Union).
Former activities have generated localized contamination of several families of pollutants:trace metals (ETM), aliphatic hydrocarbons (HC), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatilehalogenated organic compounds (COHV), Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and benzenes,Ethylebenzènes, Toluenes (BTEX).
The urban renewal project provides a very strong imbrication of habitat and economicalactivities. This is part of the sustainable development policy with remediation of land which aims atcreating the first eco-neighborhood of Lille.
Risk mapping will help to better define the areas where excavation of the soil before treatment
is not mandatory and thus validate the adequacy of the project for the built and the unbuiltenvironment in accordance with their health criteria.

The diversity of soil composition and their heterogeneity (embankments) led to a samplingcampaign by augers and shovels of 452 samples, following a systematic sampling scheme based on theconstraints facing the field of mesh between 30 and 40 m and at depths between 1 m and 4 m.
Pollutant concentrations have been provided through testing according to standards applicablein France:
− NF ISO 22155 - HS / GC / MS for COHV (assay by gas chromatography;− EN 14039 for Hydrocarbons by GC (assay by gas chromatography in the range C10 to C40);
− XP X 33-012 for PCBs and PAHs (Dose by gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass
spectrometry (GC-MSMS));− NF EN ISO 11885 for Heavy Metals (Dosage of selected elements by optical emission
spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma frequency ICP-OES);
− NF ISO 16772 for Mercury (by atomic absorption spectrometry or cold vapor atomicfluorescence spectrometry cold vapor).
as well as for methods:− NF ISO 11464 (Sample preparation: sieving, storage, etc..);
− NF EN 12457-2 (leaching of waste with a granularity of less than 4 mm);
− NF ISO 11465 (water content of samples, by steaming).

Generally, this step leads to determining or estimating for the type of people exposed:
The duration and frequency of exposure. They are estimations based on the habits and activities of the populations concerned. Only chronic exposure (continuous or recurrent exposure corresponding tothe significant fraction of life) are considered.
The physiological characteristics of subjects studied. This information differs depending on the typeof selected populations. They are the specific parameters that differentiate people, as weight, quantitiesintook and inhaled, etc.
Children were preferred in this study because they represent a sensitive population, andbecause of their development and behavior (ingestion of soil during the game, for example (A.Jacquet, 2007)), which makes the action of more harmful toxic substances (U.S. EPA, Human Health
Risk Assessment).A daycare center has been simulated with average attendance as: 8h/day, 5days/week,
47weeks/year. For two years that is:
No threshold: DE x EF = 235 x 2Tm 25550
With threshold: DE x EF = 235 x 2
Tm 730A quantity of soil ingestion of 100 mg / d (A. Jacquet, 2007)And a quantity of air inhaled (taken and adapted from: D. Bérubé et al, 1996)
Computing:
Calculation of risk coefficients for different routes of exposure
Modeling and interpolation of concentrations of risk maps
One of the problems of mapping the risk of contaminated land lies in the interpolation of pointdata in order to model spatially throughout a site. That is to say, from the diverse and scattered pointsof which we know the coordinates, and the concentration of pollutants, we need to "estimate" valuesthat can be found anywhere on the site. To do this, geostatistics offers powerful tools for spatialmodeling from mathematical laws.

Due to the summation of the ECD of various routes for the same organ, risk maps by bodieshave been established by overlaying the previous models, which, under the precautionary principle,could be superimposed with each other and create a map of general risk for the entire site.
