Source control of priority substances in Europe EU-project within the sixth framework program John Munthe IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute

Source control of priority substances in Europe EU-project FP global-4, Topic II Overall objective to provide guidelines and a decision support system tools for the implementation of the WFD with regard to selected priority substances

WP 2: Material Flow Analyses Leader NILU: Norwegian Institute for Air Research Objective: To describe the main flow paths and releases of Priority Pollutants in European water Major outcomes: - Material flow and emission inventories for selected substances on European scale. - Database tool for source identification and emission calculations at regional scale

WP 3: Inventory and assessment of existing and emerging techniques for emission reduction at the source Leader: INERIS - Institute National de l`Environnement Industriel et des risques Objectives To collect and assess the options for emission reductions of Priority Pollutants by: -Process modifications, substitution of the Priority Pollutants in the various/distinguishable applications -Available and emerging techniques for water treatment and/or product recovery

WP 3: Inventory and assessment of existing and emerging techniques for emission reduction at the source Leader: INERIS - Institute National de l`Environnement Industriel et des risques Major outcome: Substance Reports (full detail information of source control options and identified emission control techniques) and Fact Sheets (operational summaries)

WP 4: Decision support system (DSS) for source control of priority substances Leader: TNO, the Netherlands Organisations for Applied Scientific Research Objective to develop a DSS including supporting tools for management of PS in order to asses the effectiveness and (secondary) impacts of various measures or combinations of measure and make the right selection of measures

WP 4: DSS (2) Leader: TNO, the Netherlands Organisations for Applied Scientific Research The DSS will primarily be developed for authorities to make plans for the control of the PS at both European and national or river basin level The DSS will be formed by a Societal Cost Benefit Analyses, SCBA, supported by knowledge bases and tools for analyses and determination of effect

Step by step guidelines (handbook) for implementation of WFD on PPs Web based DSS + information handling (databases and reports)

WP 4: DSS (2) Leader: TNO, the Netherlands Organisations for Applied Scientific Research Major outcome: Handbook version of the DSS (print version) + Annexes Web version with additional links to Emissions database, control options database

WP 5: Case studies Leader: IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute Objective: To evaluate the decision support tool by applying it to 4 case studies in different geographical regions and to integrate results and experiences to European scale

Case studies Four case studies representing different geographical regions of Europe will be carried out. - West (the MAAS)TNO/KIWA - North (Baltic Sea catchment)SYKE/IETU - Central (Danube catchment)WRI/EI - South (Ter/Llobregat river basins)CSIC
