| Short description: |
The EMPODAT database consists of two inter-linked modules:
The Chemistry module for monitoring/occurrence data on emerging substances which are already known to be present in the environment but which are not yet included in routine monitoring programmes.
The Bio-monitoring module for data obtained from bio-monitoring approaches, i.e., biological effects measured by bio-assays and biomarkers in different environmental matrices.
EMPODAT is designed to allow:
Access to the latest information on emerging pollutants, with an overview of benchmark values on the occurrence of emerging substances across Europe;
Identification of gaps in data relating to time, geographical areas and/or environmental matrices.
How to submit the data
The web application allowing for on-line upload of data via Internet will be ready in March 2007.
