Definitierapport Indicator Effecten Toxische Stoffen

Abstract
De mogelijkheden zijn onderzocht om een indicator (Itox) te ontwikkelen, die in staat is om op regionale schaal het effect van toxische stoffen op de gezondheid van ecosystemen aan te geven. Met betrekking tot de milieukwaliteit, kan Itox worden toegepast als een alternatief voor de huidige Milieubeleidsindikator-Verspreiding (MBI-V). In de toekomst kunnen mondiale Itox-berekeningen eveneens worden toegepast binnen de Wereldmilieuverkenningen. Op basis van de resultaten van deze definitiestudie wordt een plan van aanpak voorgesteld waarmee jaarlijkse indicatorwaarden berekend kunnen worden, zoals Itox-1996.<br>
The possibilities are studied for development of an indicator Itox, which indicates the impact of toxic compounds on ecosystem health on a regional scale. Itox can be used as an alternative Environmental Policy Performance Indicator for the theme of Dispersion (EPPI-D) with respect to the environmental quality. In future, global Itox-values may also be applicable within the Global Environmental Outlooks. Based on the results of the present definition study, a plan of approach is proposed which enables calculation of an annual indicator values, e.g. Itox-1996.<br>
