NORMAN Prioritisation Results

This part of the NORMAN Database System presents results of prioritisation of:

1. Chemical occurrence data from EMPODAT database using NORMAN Prioritisation Framework. The substances are ranked based on the availability and quality of occurrence data in six Categories and ranked within each category based on their Risk Score (Final score).
   1. NORMAN 2017: Europe-wide prioritisation of 966 NORMAN substances as of 25 July 2016 – combined freshwater/marine water with data from 2009 – 2016.
   2. DANUBE 2018: Prioritisation of the Danube River Basin Specific Pollutants (RBSPs) within the SOLUTIONS project as of 14 April 2018 – data obtained from Joint Danube Surveys 1/2/3 and other monitoring data in the Water Quality Database of the ICPDR.
   3. SCARCE 2018: Prioritisation of the Iberian Peninsula River Basin Specific Pollutants (RBSPs) within the SOLUTIONS project as of 20 April 2018 – data obtained from the SCARCE project; Llobregat and Ebro River Basins.
2. Simulated Predicted Environmental Concentrations (PEC) provided by the Model Train developed within the SOLUTIONS project (https://www.solutions-project.eu/results-products/#article-52). The NORMAN Prioritisation Framework Risk Score based on the Frequency of Exceedance and Extent of Exceedance of PNECs (the same as for Measured Environmental Concentrations (MEC)) was used.

   A model based prioritisation of chemicals that can serve as one of the Lines of Evidence in an overall prioritisation exercise to define RBSPs.

   1. DANUBE 2018: Simulations of the combined emission and fate and transport models were carried out for 1788 chemicals.
   2. SCARCE 2018: Simulations of the combined emission and fate and transport models were carried out for 1811 chemicals.
