The County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland works sector comprehensive
• The County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland has a variety of competences and can give balanced an
comprehensive opinions on complex issues
• The activities cover many different fields, such as integration,
cultural heritage, spatial planning, environmental protection, equal opportunities, animal welfare, nature and water
conservation
County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland
• 49 municipalities
• 1,5 million inhabitants
• 17 % of Sweden’s population
• 66 inhabitants / square kilometre
• 24,000 square kilometre land
territory
• 6 percent of Sweden’s area
The County Administrative Board ofVästra Götaland has offices in eight locations

Red: At risk without monitoring
Green: At risk with monitoring
Light green: Monitored water bodies
National monitoring programs of prioritycompounds
73 % of the water bodies at risk, are not monitored in the national program!
Need in cost-efficient screening methods
• Vast amount of toxicants
– Reveal the actual problem
– Deselect those that are not likely to
cause an effect
– Mixture effects
• Monitoring usually very costly
• Most relevant compartment?
Guidance document
• Produce and verify the document
• County administration board of Blekinge
• How to perform operational monitoring
– Choosing sampling point
– Which substances to monitor
– Which compartment
– How often
– Reporting and analysizing the data
Contact Fredrik Andreasson, County administration board of Blekinge for more info:[email protected]

Mussel analyses, Bohuskusten (coast)Conclusions
• High correlation between dioxin chemical analyses and DR CALUX assays.
• Cost-efficient screening
– Good way to reduce gap between required and current
monitoring
– Include other parameters that are missed in chemical
analyses
• Hypothesis generating
• Need in standards or treshold values
