There is one map for each of the contaminants. In the map, each of the small dots represents a station (a location which is regularly monitored), coloured according to estimated concentration levels (low/moderate/high relative to environmental thresholds). The big pie diagrams show, for each region, the proportion of stations that have low/moderate/high concentration levels. The arrow by each pie diagram shows whether concentrations trends are in general decreasing (↓) or show no significant trend (→). There were no cases of increasing trends.

Based on data

External Data Spec Contaminants in biota from EMODnet Chemistry EMODnet Chemistry Portal gives free and open access to measurement data, as delivered by the originators, for groups of chemical variables. Clicking on Chemicals by region you can visualise the Matrix indicating, per sea region and per chemicals group, how many measurement data have been gathered from tens of data providers in the EMODnet Chemistry network.
External Data Spec Contaminants in biota from ICES DOME (Marine Environment) A large portion of the data held are monitoring data submitted for the OSPAR CEMP and HELCOM COMBINE monitoring programmes and therefore follow specific monitoring programme guidelines. While these programmes have key components which are monitored yearly at defined stations, components which are under development are also included. The result is a broad spectrum of chemical parameters from metals, PAHs, brominated flame retardants, TBT and TBT effects in sediment and biota, to histopathology, ocean acidification and benthos and plankton data. DOME also includes methods and quality assurance data such as the reporting of uncertainty on a single component basis to help in assessing comparable data.
Data Europe Seas The present dataset compiles the marine regions and subregions listed in Article 4 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), together with other surrounding seas of Europe. The MSFD marine regions and subregions map was developed to support DG Environment and EU Member States in their implementation of the MSFD. It represents the current state of understanding of the marine regions and subregions and is subject to amendment in light of any new information which may be produced.
