Joint Nordic screening of emerging pollutants: Strategy and results

This brochure highlights the work conducted by the Joint Nordic screening group. The activities in the Joint Nordic Screening Group can be divided into three areas:

+ Joint screening studies,

+ Sharing knowledge by organizing seminars and

+ literature studies

The aim of the joint Nordic screening studies is to obtain a snapshot of the occurrence of emerging pollutants in the environment. A Nordic cooperation on screening studies is an advantage for increased representativity of the results since it is possible to include a larger number of samples in a larger area than normally in national studies. In addition, it is cost effective and makes it easy to compare results with neighbouring countries.

The group has its own webpage, from where the reports can be downloaded.
