Disaggregated data for review of Priority Substances list – state-of-play Data policy for reporting and dissemination for hazardous substances in water discussed at Eionet freshwater workshop 26-27 June 2014 Follow up by questionnaire to national focal points (NFPs) and national reference centers (NRCs) Based on responses received, disaggregated data for groundwater and rivers forwarded to JRC for the review exercise Still some open QA issues (µg/l unit conversion errors) flagged in Waterbase Further development at ETC/ICM of methodologies for filtering out data (exclusion) is ongoing Sharing of experiences from other stakeholders would be useful

Mapping of data policies from Eionet SoE hazardous substances in water Reporting to SoE emissions   Questionnaire to NFPs / NRCs Country: Organisation: Filled in by: Date: Monitoring stations in: groundwater rivers lakes Remarks Datasets: current (2012) and historical data future reporting publish aggregated (annual average, annual statistics) only A Made available to Eionet members and Commission Services for analyses, only B Can be made publicly available C Only "preferred" substances currently published in Waterbase 1 All substances reported (river basin specific pollutants, ..) 2

Responses on data policy from Eionet

Process onwards EEA (ETC/ICM) has developed fiches by country including hazardous substances in SoE and WFD data highlighting data quality issues in the data series. Work in progress: by countries for clarification and improvement of datasets by ETC/ICM for methodologies for data filtering / outlier detection. finalisation of 2nd issue of HS data report for publication by ETC/ICM on web-site Forward of lakes dataset to JRC for PS list review later this year Development of more user-friendly interactive data viewer The existing aggregated SoE datasets on specific hazardous substances is being used on a test basis in IPCheM (Environmental monitoring – water) Development of IPCheM interactive viewer in progress at JRC
