Methodology:
Raw data extracted from countries’ questionnaires
Density of registered sites per km2 of artificial surface in countries’ inventories calculated as: [Number of registered sites (site status 1)]/[artificial surface (km2)]
Status of completed risk-reduction measures calculated as: [Number of remediated sites (site statuses 6 and 3)]/[Number of registered sites where polluting activities took/are taking place]*100
Trends of the progress in the management of contaminated sites calculated as: the difference between the number of sites for each management step in 2016 and the same number reported at the baseline (data from the period 2001-2005). A negative number does not always mean a reduction, but changes in the criteria.
-
Units:
The number of sites in each management step of contaminated sites (site status), as reported by Eionet member countries through a questionnaire in 2016; the original values were updated and corrected in 2022.

Additional information
The key purpose of the source report is to provide factual data on the management of contaminated sites in Europe, necessary in the context of various national and EU-wide strategies and policies (e.g., the EU's Environment Action Programmes), based on replies to a questionnaire on a voluntary basis. It also aims to increase awareness on local soil contamination and to identify knowledge gaps with the aim to enable effective decision and policymaking within the European Union and its neighbours.
