Title
Environmental risk limits for antimony
Translated Title
Milieurisicogrenzen voor antimoon
Published in
Abstract
Dit rapport geeft milieurisicogrenzen voor antimoon in (grond)water, sediment, en bodem. Milieurisicogrenzen zijn de technisch-wetenschappelijke advieswaarden voor de uiteindelijke milieukwaliteitsnormen in Nederland. De milieurisicogrenzen voor antimoon zijn gebaseerd op de uitkomsten van de EU risicobeoordeling voor antimoon, welke is opgesteld onder de voormalige Bestaande Stoffen Verordening 793/93/EEG. De afleiding van de milieurisicogrenzen sluit tevens aan bij de richtlijnen uit de Kaderrichtlijn Water. Op basis van een vergelijking met Nederlandse meetgegevens, wordt verwacht dat de nieuwe milieurisicogrenzen naar verwachting zeer zelden overschreden worden.
This report presents environmental risk limits (ERLs) for antimony in (ground)water, sediment, and soil. ERLs are advisory values that serve as a scientific background to set environmental quality standards in the Netherlands. The ERLs for antimony are based on the results of the European risk assessment for antimony, which was prepared under the former Existing Substances Regulation 793/93/EEC. The derivation of ERLs is in accordance with the methodology of the Water Framework Directive. Based on a comparison with Dutch monitoring data, it is expected that the newly derived ERLs will be exceeded in very few cases.
