Prioritization methodology of dangerous substances for water quality monitoring with scarce data

摘要: Monitoring and control of dangerous substances discharged into receiving waters have attracted more attention lately. Since it is not possible to analyze every single substance, a prioritization methodology needed for the selection those be monitored. Existing well-developed models require significant amount data reliable outcomes. This paper presents prioritize having adverse effects on freshwaters in Turkey, where are scarce. Such will also serve as solid model other countries with limited background data. The adopted enabled elimination chemicals generate candidate list composed 608 among than 5000 substances. Further screening were conducted using different assessment methods (i.e., Total Hazard Value, Impact Combined Monitoring-based, Modelling-based Priority Setting) obtain proposed Final Candidate Specific Pollutants List 150 National Pollutant Turkey was established by combining 45 priority pollutants European Union specific pollutants. According outcomes this study, monitoring controlling 195 recommended. detailed studies should order observe actual levels these followed review accordingly. Moreover, further revisions might required due some versatile conditions terms sampling points change location industries).
