The methodological recommendations for the monitoring and assessment of PFAS in the aquatic environment were published by HELCOM – Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission, in the framework of the EMPEREST project.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, have come to the forefront of environmental concern in the last few decades. Despite their widespread use and considerable variations, the environmental assessment of this group is still lagging behind. The recommendations' approach is based on the latest developments in the assessment of PFAS, they also include an example of the assessment based on a collection of PFAS monitoring data from the Baltic Sea region from 2000-2022, collected through a data call carried out by the EMPEREST project in 2023.
