Suspect and non-target screening in environmental monitoring. Suggestions for indicator based on non-target analysis

Abstract

The introduction of suspect and non-target screening (SNTS) in NOVANA monitoring
is discussed and suggestions for possible indicators based on such screenings are
suggested, both purely qualitative indicators on the presence of peaks and
quantitative indicators based on semiquantitative concentrations of target
substances, with Risk Quotients defined from comparison with PNEC or EQS value as
used in the NORMAN approach in the OSPAR CONnECT and HELCOM PreEMPT
projects. Some other possible indicators based on the PreEMPT and CONnECT data
are suggested, and the general status for SNTS screenings and status of uncertainties
using results from such are discussed. Finally, an example of how to build SNTS into a
monitoring program to continuously upgrade and improve lists of substances of
priority action and possible concern, is presented.
