Identification of Potential Contaminants of Concern for in situ sediments

Identification in EU legislation

A number of contaminants presenting a significant risk to or via the aquatic environment have been

identified, through the Water Framework Directive and predecessor directives. These contaminants

have been selected for the derivation of Environmental Quality Standards. The Water Framework

Directive initially defined a list of 33 priority substances (listed in Table A2.1).
