Conclusions

Analytical standard methods for 32 of 33 compounds/compound groups are available

Method performance data do not match all EQS proposals for inland waters and marine waters

Inland Water: Lower method application range /proposed EQS

For 21 of 31 substances methods sufficiently sensitive

(lower method application range /proposed EQS < 1)

For 5 of 31 substances Factor 1- 2

For 3 of 31 substances Factor 2 – 3.5

For 2 of 31 substances Factor > 3.5

Chlorpyrifos (-ethyl, -methyl) Factor 22

Tributyltin compounds Factor 100

Marine Water: Lower method application range /proposed EQS

For 19 of 29 substances methods sufficiently sensitive

(lower method application range /proposed EQS < 1)

For 3 of 31 substances Factor 1- 2

For 4 of 31 substances Factor 2 – 3.5

For 4 of 31 substances Factor > 3.5

Chlorpyrifos (-ethyl, -methyl) Factor 22

-HCH Factor 5

Benzo[K]fluoranthene Factor 18.5

Tributyltin compounds Factor 100

Need of aquatic reference materials for QA/QC

No information on cost of monitoring:

only 2 contributions, no sampling costs

No harmonised method for chloroalkanes available

21 of 33 substances are covered by methods from 2000/2001/2002

Not all methods are up-to-date

Conclusions

Conclusions

Use of alternative methods is desired by AMPS members

The use of standard methods alone does not guarantee comparable data across Europe

Need for standard/reference methods as guidelines and for definition of analytes

Longterm need for a European proficiency testing scheme

Identification of data quality requirements necessary

Drafting group on data quality requirements

New analytical methodsStill problematic:•PBDE

•SCCP

•Alkylphenols

•Phthalate

Document should be further commented, developed and should present an overview on still remaining problems in method development for WFD PS

Need for further method development, testing and interlaboratory comparisons

Natural metal background concentrations

No harmonised method for deriving geogenic metal background concentrations in water is currently available

General agreement with proposal for metal EQS setting

Drafting group on metal background concentrations

Suspended Particulate Matter/Sediment/Biota Monitoring

MS/CC have more experience with sediment

SPM sampling not in all water types possible

Discussion on feasibility of different approaches

Need to identify different monitoring needs for different water types ?

Background documents to be provided

Future AMPS tasks

Support to review of PS list

Contact between Marine and Inland monitoring is established (ICES) and needs to be enhanced

Coverage of Mediterranean area ?

Non target methods for river basin specific contaminants

AMPS 2 Actions

Background documents on SPM/Sediment/Biota monitoring will be provided

Drafting group: Metal background concentrations

Drafting group: Data quality objectives/requirements

Additional AMPS (3) meeting in April

AMPS 2 minutes still need to be commented by members !
