Heavy metals in surface water
Description
Metals are by definition non-degradable and (bio)accumulate in the aquatic environment. Some of them are essential for various biochemical processes in organisms. At higher concentrations, they can become toxic to aquatic organisms. Metals occur in surface water in dissolved and bonded form. The dissolved concentrations are more ecologically relevant because in that form they are more easily absorbed by aquatic organisms. That is why dissolved concentrations have been measured since 2010 and the environmental quality standards for surface water apply to the dissolved form. In addition to the test against the standard, the results of a statistical trend analysis per measurement site are also reported here.
