Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and their metabolites 2018
Description
This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on concentrations of Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in sediment and biota. Quantitative threshold value is used to classify core indicators status in “Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”. As There is no commonly agreed threshold value for measuring metabolites available, this report only considers concentrations of contaminants.
This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 4 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins and further division into coastal and off-shore areas and division of the coastal areas by WFD water types or water bodies).
Attribute information:
"OBJECTID" = Object identification
"HELCOM_ID" = Code of the HELCOM scale 4 assessment unit
"Descriptio" = Description of the HELCOM scale 4 assessment unit
"AULEVEL" = Assessment unit level used for the indicator
"Contamination ratio biota (FLU)" = Contamination ratio in biota for fluoranthene
"STATUS_FLU" = Status of the indicator in biota for benzo(a)pyrene (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”)
"Contamination ratio in sediment (ANT)" = Contamination ratio in sediment for anthracene
"STATUS_ANT" = Status of the indicator in sediment (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”)
"Contamination ratio in biota (BAP)" = Contamination ratio in biota for benzo(a)pyrene
"STATUS_BAP" = Status of the indicator in biota for benzo(a)pyrene (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”)
"Overall status" = Overall Status of the indicator according to one-out-all-out (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”)
