Polychlorinated biphenyls PCBs in biota results HOLAS3

This dataset represents the results of core indicator on Polychlorinated biphenyls PCBs in biota results. The core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on concentrations of non-dioxin like PCB in Baltic Sea fish. Good status is achieved when the concentrations of PCB, dioxin and furan are below the threshold values.


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 specifications and units:

"HELCOM_ID" = Code of the HELCOM scale 4 assessment unit

"country": country in which the HELCOM assessment unit is located or a mention to an open sea area

"level_2" = Name of the HELCOM assessment unit in scale 2

"Name" = Name of the HELCOM assessment unit in scale 4

"Open_sea" = Name of the HELCOM assessment unit in the open sea

"F2_Name" = Name of the HELCOM assessment unit

"determinan" = Determinat

"est" = The estimated mean loge concentration in the assessment unit

"se" = The standard error on the estimated mean log concentration in the assessment unit

"fit" = The estimated mean concentration in the assessment unit

"upper_cl" = Upper one-sided 95% confidence limit on the mean concentration: exp(est + qnorm(0.95) * see)

"Status" = Overall Status of the indicator according to one-out-all-out

Statement

Data are extracted from the HELCOM COMBINE database, hosted by ICES. The COMBINE data stem from regular environmental monitoring programmes of the coastal countries. 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.

The overall confidence of the assessment is moderate.
