ICPR – International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine

257. Special Chemistry Monitoring Programme 2017

In 2017, the ICPR conducted a special monitoring programme that included both target analysis and non-target analysis. Here, at each of 21 measuring points located in the main stream of the Rhine, as well as in the tributaries, 4 samples were collected. Based on the concentrations and the number of results, ten substances were recommended for inclusion in the annual Rhine Chemistry Monitoring Programme. These will now be further examined.
