This project aims to support Baltic States in implementing WFD and other directives concerning reducing priority hazardous substances in waters.
| Project duration: 2009 January – 2011 December |
There are 11 hazardous substances of specific concern to the Baltic Sea. These are dioxins, tin, brominated compounds, perifluoroctane sulfonate, hexabromocyclododecane, nonylphenols, octylphenols, chlorinated paraffins, endosulphane, Hg, Cd. The information available on the sources, inputs and management options does, however, not allow for development of programmes of measures addressing these substances in the whole Baltic Sea region. There is a need to jointly evaluate the major sources and to quantify the inputs of the target substances to the Baltic Sea in order to be able to develop the measures needed to reduce the levels of contaminants in the Baltic Sea to an acceptable level. There is also still a lack of knowledge especially on the Eastern side of the Baltic Sea to control hazardous substances, both within authorities and industries.
| Project duration: 2009 - 2011 |
| Project duration: 2008 December – 2010 October |
The project is aiming at capacity building to strengthen the role of Belarusian and Northwest Russian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in policy development and public awareness raising in the field of water management and promoting the dialogue between authorities and NGOs on public and NGOs role in water policies development and implementation in the North - Eastern side of the Baltic Sea.
| Project duration: 2008 - 2009 |
The project is to obtain measurement data on concentrations of WFD priority substances and some other pollutants in waste water, sewage sludge and the receiving environment
| Project duration: December 2005 - December 2006 |
The project is to improve premises for the integration of significant ecological and management aspects, including spatial development, in the Eastern BSR area
| Project duration: June 2005 - April 2008 |
