Metals (Cadmium) 2018

This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on concentrations of heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in seawater, biota and sediments. Quantitative thresholds are used to evaluate if core indicators status is "Achieve", "Fail" or "Not assessed". Threshold values are based on Environmental quality standards (EQS), defined at EU level for substances included in the priority list under the Water Framework Directive.


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 sediment" = Contamination ratio in sediment for this substance

"Status in sediment" = Status of the indicator in sediment (“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”)

Statement

The indicator is based on data held in the HELCOM COMBINE database, hosted at the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES). All available data on cadmium concentrations in seawater, mussel and sediments up to 2016 were used. Evaluation is carried out using an agreed R-script that runs a statistical analysis. The overall confidence of the indicator evaluation is high.
