Perfluorooctane sulphonate (PFOS) 2018
This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on concentrations of perfluorooctane sulphonate (PFOS) in Baltic Sea fish and in a few assessment units using the secondary matrix seawater. Quantitative thresholds are used to evaluate if core indicators status is "Achieve", "Fail" or "Not assessed". Good status is achieved when the concentrations of PFOS are below the threshold value.
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 in biota" = Contamination ratio in biota for this substance
"Status in biota" = Status of the indicator in biota (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”)
"Contamination ratio in water" = Contamination ratio in water for this substance
"Status in water" = Status of the indicator in water(“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”)
"Overall status" = Overall Status of the indicator according to one-out-all-out (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”)

The data used in the assessment is based on data from the HELCOM COMBINE database to which Contracting Parties report regular monitoring data.The data are extracted based on the HELCOM core indicator extraction table. The assessment protocol is structured in three main parts, 1) changes in log concentrations over time are modelled, 2) check for compliance against threshold value and evidence for temporal change of contaminant concentration per station and 3) a spatial aggregation of status per assessment unit. Confidence of the indicator evaluation results is considered to be high for those areas for which data are available.
