Dioxins and furans – Background values of materially low-impact soils in Schleswig-Holstein

The data set “Dioxins and furanes – background values of materially low-influenced soils of Schleswig-Holstein” contains for the substance group dioxins and furane the 90s percentile values of 13 evaluation classes as a nationwide map representation. The evaluation classes are based on information on the uses of arable, grassland and forest as well as soil (soil/peat, soil types). The map shows regional arsenic contents as background values to be assessed as typical. The 50s, 75s, 90s and 95 percentile values of the total data stock are used as class limits for the colour gradation. In comparison to a distribution of area-related units valid for all uses across Schleswig-Holstein, they tend to be well represented.
