Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) 2018

This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on concentrations of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) in Baltic Sea fish. Quantitative threshold values are used to classify core indicators status in "Fail", "Achieve" or "Not assessed". The threshold value is an environmental quality standard (EQS), derived at EU level as a substance included on the priority list under Directive 2008/105/EC.


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

"Country" = country( opensea

"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”)

"Overall Status" = Overall Status of the indicator according to one-out-all-out (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”)

"level_2" = Name of assessment unit for the evaluation

"type_desc" = Description of the assessment unit

"name" = Name of the scale 4 assessment unit

Statement

The data used in the assessment is based on HELCOM COMBINE data reported by Contracting Parties as part of regular environmental monitoring activities. 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.
