Pollution in marine sediments. How to improve data quality
Homogeneity and coherence: these are the fundamental characteristics that environmental data must have in order to be used on a large scale. Access to good quality data on pollutants in marine sediments is of paramount importance for the assessment and adoption of appropriate measures for environmental management.
This is the focus of the new study coordinated by the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics - OGS, which was also attended by ISPRA, the National Institute of Biology - NIB of Piran ( Slovenia), the Hellenic Center for Marine Research - Institute of Oceanography - HCMR in Athens and other Slovenian, Croatian, Greek and French research institutes, and which was recently published in Marine Pollution Bulletin.
