1 Pol­lut­ants in a grow­ing me­di­um may not ex­ceed the fol­low­ing lim­it val­ues:

Pol­lut­ant

Lim­it val­ues in mil­li­grams per kilo­gram of dry mat­ter

In­or­gan­ic ar­sen­ic (As)

In the cases of grow­ing me­dia that con­sist of more than 70 % min­er­al sub­stances, the lim­it value ap­plies to the bioavail­able con­tent of the pol­lut­ant.
