20.500.12556/DiRROS-19392 Trace metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the Eastern Mediterranean sediments concentration ranges as a tool for quality control of large data collections Assessing the status of marine pollution at regional and sub-regional scales requires the use of comparable and harmonized data provided by multiple institutions, located in several countries. Standardized data management and quality control are crucial for supporting a coherent evaluation of marine pollution. Taking the Eastern Mediterranean Sea as a case study, we propose an approach to improve the quality control procedures used for sediment pollution data, thus supporting a harmonized environmental assessment. The regional ranges of contaminant concentrations in sediments were identified based on an in-depth literature review, and the lowest measured concentrations were evaluated to determine the “background concentrations” of chemical substances not yet targeted in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, to verify the suitability of the approach for validating large data collections provided by multiple sources, the determined ranges were used to validate a regional dataset available through EMODnet data infrastructure. marine pollution sediment trace metals PAHs data quality control Eastern Mediterranean true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-07-17 03:56:37 2024-07-17 13:24:22 2024-07-18 03:54:01 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Ostali avtorji: D.
