Finland (6 stations on 6 lakes), Germany (5 stations on 5 lakes), Hungary (15 stations on 6 lakes), Latvia (1 station on 1 lake) and Slovenia (4 stations on 2 lakes). Total phosphorus data from Austria (5 stations on 5 lakes), Denmark (19 stations on 19 lakes), Estonia (4 stations on 1 lake), Finland (11 stations on 11 lakes), Germany (5 stations on 5 lakes), Hungary (11 stations on 2 lakes), Latvia (1 station on 1 lake), Sweden (3 stations on 3 lakes) and Slovenia (4 stations on 2 lakes). Groundwater bodies: 147 groundwater bodies with data from Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. Rivers: data from Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Concentrations are expressed as median of annual average concentrations for groundwater, rivers and lakes. Data are from representative river and lake stations.

Europe's environment — The fourth assessment In this report, we underline the changes that have occurred in the environment and socio-economic context to help explain many of the environmental trends that have been observed. We identify successes and improvements but also register old legacies that need further effort such as, in particular, air pollution, water issues and contaminated sites. New threats, which challenge piecemeal solutions and call for integrated strategic measures at European and global levels, are described such as persistent chemicals in the environment, biodiversity loss, sustainable production and consumption and climate change. And a new overview is given of the state of European marine areas and inland seas.
