| Project Abstract | This project represents an important collaboration between two research centres with analytical expertise, and two County-Councils, building capability to establish emission factors for priority and dangerous substances. Such study will identify index criteria that will assist in defining the monitoring programme in Ireland for WFD . Three parallel projects are interlinked, two PhD and 1 fellowship, will study analytical method developments and data handling. Tasks outlined in each workpackage are encompassed in each project and thus require close collaboration of the team. The project will involve a large sample number to obtain a representative and statistically relevant output. This will provide recommendations to the EPA for a suitable monitoring programme. |
