252. Statistical evaluation of measurements on the contamination of biota/fish with pollutants in the Rhine catchment area in 2014/2015

During 2014 and 2015 the ICPR has implemented a first joint monitoring programme on the contamination of biota (fish) with pollutants in the Rhine catchment (see ICPR technical report no. 216). This pilot project has been evaluated by the Fraunhofer Institut in collaboration with the ICPR. The technical report no. 252 presents a first comparable survey over the pollution of biota in the Rhine catchment.
