Box 2.1

Box 2.1 SOLUTIONS – pollutants in land and water management

This EU FP 7 project assessed how existing WFD practice could be brought more up-to date with currently available scientific knowledge (Brack et al. 2017). Recommendations included:

·       use of effect-based methods for pollution investigation and assessment

·       use of passive sampling for bioaccumulative pollutants

·       integrated strategy for prioritisation of contaminants in monitoring

·       consideration of priority mixtures of chemicals

·       historical burdens accumulated in sediments

·       models to fill data gaps

·       tiered approach in investigative monitoring to identify key toxicants
