In Europe, emerging organic compounds (EOCs) in groundwater is a growing research area. Prioritisation for monitoring EOCs Europe was formalised 2019 through the development of first voluntary watch list (GWWL). Despite this, occurrence data peer reviewed literature has not been to date. Questions surrounding effect, toxicity, movement subsurface and unsaturated zone make process regulating EOC use difficult. The aim develop unified strategy classification, prioritisation be monitored...
In 2015, the United Nations approved 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, an opportunity for countries and their societies to face challenge of successfully addressing transition a more sustainable future people planet, leaving no one behind. The agenda defines total 17 Development Goals (SDGs) universal application promote economic growth, commitment social needs protection environment. For successful achievement ambitious demanding SDGs, individuals, businesses, governments, higher...
Estimated natural background levels (NBLs) are needed to assess groundwater chemical status according the EU Groundwater Directive. They commonly derived for different substances by applying statistical methodologies. Due complexity of sea water intrusion process, some those methods do not always provide appropriate assessment chloride NBLs. This paper analyzes applicability NBL estimation in five coastal aquifers with significant differences available datasets and hydrogeological settings....
The distribution of the high concentrations arsenic (As) and fluoride (F-) in groundwater on a Pan-European scale could be explained by geological European context (lithology structural faults). To test this hypothesis, seventeen countries eighteen survey organizations (GSOs) have participated dataset. methodology has used HydroGeoToxicity (HGT) Baseline Concentration (BLC) index. results prove that most waters considered study are good conditions for drinking water consumption, terms As...
The protection of groundwater resources in coastal aquifers is an increasingly important issue worldwide. To establish threshold values and remediation objectives, it essential to know the natural background concentrations relevant ions groundwater. rationale define Natural Background Level (NBL) chemical species determined by atmospheric lithological forces. In many aquifers, this evaluation worsens since salinity combines with other anthropogenic sources salinity, including exogenous...
Abstract Water management plans require comprehensive knowledge of physical processes and principles controlling water resources. These mechanisms, subject to limitations, can interact in complex ways, which makes it challenging design guidelines achieve optimum resources use, taking into account economic, social environmental factors. The relationship between rivers aquifers defines different forms interaction superficial groundwater. have great relevance inland protection against...
RESUMEN: Durante los últimos años ha aumentado el interés en evaluar riesgos para la salud causados por exposición a contaminantes presentes suelo, aire y agua, como metales pesados o emergentes. Este trabajo presenta un estudio sobre patrones espaciales asociaciones existentes entre elementos Sb, As Pb, que pueden ocurrir juntos diferentes minerales. Todos ellos tener origen tanto natural antropogénico, lo es esencial analizar sus correlaciones distribución espacial. La elaboración de una...
Existe interés creciente en evaluar los riesgos por exposición a contaminantes del suelo, aire y agua. Este trabajo presenta un estudio sobre patrones espaciales asociaciones entre As, Pb Sb. Se ha analizado el territorio peninsular de España, geología compleja, con dos grandes unidades: la mitad occidental (Dominio Hercínico) oriental Alpino-Cuencas Terciarias). El punto partida es Atlas Geoquímico cofinanciado Área Económica Europea (63 elementos analizados 40.000 muestras suelos...
Under article 17 of the Water Framework Directive European Union was required to establish a framework protect groundwater and set criteria for determining its chemical status define environmental quality standards.Considering specific characteristics contaminants in groundwater, it is necessary use adequate statistical tests.Annex IV Groundwater establishes that all measurements below limit quantification (LOQ) must be replaced by half highest LOQ, with exception total pesticides.Although...
The assessment of Natural Background Levels (NBLs) is a key point in the process characterizing groundwater within context EU water legislation and it significant River Basin Management Plans. calculation these values has been based to date on application statistical methods split set into its natural anthropogenic components. However, case seawater intrusion, number factors, like degree affection, distance coast or sampling depth, make challenging design guidelines delineate NBLs. In this...
