Concentrations of CB188 relative to assessment criteria
European data
Metadata
-
Methodology:
For status, the 90% percentile was used over the 10-year period, 2010-2019, to classify concentrations in 'low', 'moderate' and 'high' classes using two threshold values. The lower of the two thresholds was OSPAR's BAC criterion, while the threshold value was the EQS given by the Water Framework Directive. In order to calculate status, at least 1 year (Mediterranean) or 3 years (other areas) of data since 2010 are needed.

Additional information
Concentrations of CB-118 in mussels and oysters are relative to environmental thresholds (3). Each point represents a location (station). The green points under the yellow line are locations with concentrations under BAC; the yellow points are over BAC but under EQS (Environmental Quality Standard), while the red points are locations with concentrations over EQS. The inset (upper left) shows time trends (change per decade) by the MSFD region over the most recently available 10-year period (meta-analysis of trends for each location). Significant decreases are shown in green, while insignificant time trends are shown in black. Regions not included in the time trend graph did not have enough data to enable trend analysis.
