Contaminants maps Preliminary list of contaminants included in the proposal Matrix Contaminants Water Pesticides and biocides: DDT, HCB Antifoulants: TBT, TPT Heavy metals: Mercury, cadmium, lead Hydrocarbons: Anthracene, Fluoranthene PAH: Benzo(a)pyrene Sediments Pesticides and biocides: DDT, HCB Antifoulants: TBT Heavy metals: Mercury, cadmium, lead Hydrocarbons: Anthracene, Naphthalene Biota Pesticides and biocides: Total DDT, HCB Heavy metals: Mercury and its compounds Hydrocarbons: Fluoranthene PAH: Benzo(a)pyrene 4/20/2019

Contaminants Proposed type of maps For each time period: before 2012, 2012-today, ten-year windows For all the contaminants in the preliminary list Above or below LOQ. green points: below LOQ, orange points: above LOQ LOQ above or below EQSD threshold values. Green points: LOQ below 30% of EQSD threshold values Red points: LOQ above 30% of EQSD threshold values Concentration values above or below EQS threshold values. Green points: concentration values below EQS threshold values, Red points: concentration values above EQS threshold values matrix monitored. Blue points: water, Brown points: sediments Green points: biota species monitored. (see below) For sediments, availability of a normalizer. (TOC or Loss on ignition for organic substances, Li, Al or clay-silt fraction for metals). blue points: normalizer available, orange points: No normalizer available 4/20/2019

Contaminants maps for MSFD Report MSFD 2018 - Focus on New Commission Decision 2017/848 of 17th May 2017 “D8C1 — Primary: Within coastal and territorial waters (and beyond if contaminants still may give rise to pollution effects), the concentrations of contaminants do not exceed the following threshold values: for contaminants set out under point 1(a) of criteria elements (i.e. contaminants for which an environmental quality standard is laid down in Part A of Annex I to Directive 2008/105/EC), the values set in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC when contaminants under point (a) are measured in a matrix for which no value is set under Directive 2000/60/EC, the concentration of those contaminants in that matrix established by Member States through regional or subregional cooperation; For additional contaminants which may give rise to pollution effects threshold values established by Member States through regional or subregional cooperation” 4/20/2019

Contaminants maps for Biota (2) Threshold values in Part A of Annex I to Directive 2008/105/EC Priority Substance Threshold values (μg/kg wet weight) LOQ<0.3 * Threshold Species Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives (PFOS) CAS: 1763-23-1 9.1 2.73 Fish Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds Sum of PCDD+PCDF+PCB- DL 0.0065 μg/kg TEQ Fish, crustaceans and molluscs Heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide CAS: 76-44-8/ 1024-57-3 0.0067 0.002 4/20/2019

Contaminants maps for Biota (3) Map on LOQs for Fluoranthene, HCB, Mercury and Benzo(a)pyrene: Red point: LOQ > 0.3*Threshold value (wet weight) Green point: LOQ <= 0.3*Threshold value (wet weight) Map on species monitored for at least DDT, Fluoranthene, HCB, Mercury and Benzo(a)pyrene Green point: Molluscs Orange point: Crustacean Blue point: Fish Grey point: Others How to proceed: map P01 to species monitored and wet weight or use/integrate P35? How to deal with dry weight? 4/20/2019
