Annex I. European environmental quality requirements for water for priority substances and certain other pollutants

The columns have been successively indicated:

  • 1. the number of the priority substances in the Water Framework Directive and the Priority Substances Directive

  • 2. CAS number (see note 1)

  • 3. the EU number (see note 2)

  • 4. the name of the priority substance and the designation of priority substances as a priority hazardous substance (for the relevant substance identified by (X)). Where groups of substances are selected, typical examples of these shall be used in determining environmental quality requirements, unless otherwise specified.

  • 5 and 6. JG-MKE: European environmental quality requirement for water expressed as an annual average (JG) in the unit [ μg/l], which applies to the total concentration of all isomers. In applying the JG-MKE, the arithmetic mean of the concentrations measured at different times during the year during each representative monitoring point for the water body is not above the standard. The JG MKE is expressed as the total concentration in the complete water sample. Calculation of the arithmetic mean, the method of analysis to be used and how an MKE is applied in the absence of an appropriate analytical method which fulfils the minimum performance characteristics shall be in accordance with implementing instruments containing technical specifications for the chemical control and quality of analytical results in accordance with the Water Framework Directive.

    By way of derogation from the above, the JG-MKE for cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel (metals) refer to the concentration in question. This is the dissolved phase of a water sample obtained by filtration over a 0.45 μm filter or equivalent pre-treatment. The monitoring programme may provide that an adjustment can be made to the JG-MKE monitoring results, taking into account:

    • (a) natural background concentrations for metals and their compounds, if they prevent compliance with environmental quality requirements; and

    • (b) the hardness, pH or other water quality parameters affecting the bioavailability of metals, where the concentration of bioavailable is determined by the use of appropriate bioavailability model.

  • 7 and 8. MAC-MKE: European environmental quality requirement for water, expressed as a maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) in the unit [ μg/l]. For the MAC-MKE application, none of the representative monitoring points for the water body shall apply. concentration above the standard. When indicated for the MAC-MKE "nvt" (not applicable), JG MKE values are supposed to provide protection against short-term pollution peaks in continuous discharges, as these are significantly lower than those on the basis of the acute toxicity-derived value. The MAC-MKE is expressed as the total concentration in the full water sample. By way of derogation from the above, the MAC-MKE for cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel (metals) refer to the concentration in question. This is the dissolved phase of a water sample obtained by filtration over a 0.45 μm filter or equivalent pre-treatment. The monitoring programme may provide for a correction to be made to the MAC-MKE when assessing the results of the monitoring process, taking into account:

    • (a) natural background concentrations for metals and their compounds, if they prevent compliance with environmental quality requirements; and

    • (b) the hardness, pH or other water quality parameters affecting the bioavailability of metals, where the concentration of bioavailable is determined by the use of appropriate bioavailability model.

  • 9. MKE Biota: European environmental quality requirement for water for biota, expressed in unit [ μg/kg wet weight]

  • 10. date of realisation of the environmental quality requirement for water for the priority substance: 22 December 2015 (for the relevant substance identified by X)

  • 11. date of realisation of the environmental quality requirement for water for the priority substance: 22 December 2021 (for the relevant substance identified by X)

(1) CAS: Chemical Abstract Services.

(2) EU number: European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) or the European List of Chemical Substances notified (ELINCS).

(3) Land surface waters include rivers and lakes and the associated artificial or highly altered water bodies.

Other surface waters include coastal and transitional waters, including derived artificial and heavily altered water bodies.

(4) Only tetra-, penta-, hexa-and heptabromodiphenyl ether (CAS numbers 40088-47-9, 32534-81-9, 36483-60-0, 68928-80-3).

(5) For the group of priority substances covered by brominated diphenyl ethers (No 5) refers the MKE to the sum of the concentrations for the congeners. 28, 47, 99, 100, 153, and 154.

(6) For cadmium and its compounds ( 6) the JG-MKE and MAC-MKE concern the dissolved concentrations and the MKE values are dependent on the hardness of the water, classified in five classes (class 1: < 40 mg CaCO3 /l, class 2: 40 to < 50 mg CaCO3 /l, class 3: 50 to < 100 mg) CaCO3 /l, class 4: 100 to < 200 mg CaCO3 /l and class 5: ≥ 200 mg CaCO3 /l).

(7) This substance is not a priority substance, but one of the other pollutants for which the MKN are identical to those laid down in the legislation applicable before 13 January 2009.

(8) No indicative parameter is specified for this group of substances. The indicative parameters should be determined by the analytical methods.

(9) DDT total consists of the sum of isomers 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS number 50-29-3), EU number 200-024-3); 1,1,1-trichloro-2-(o-chlorophenyl) -2-(p-chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS number 789-02-6); EU number 212-332-5); 1,1-dichlorom2,2- bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethylene (CAS number 72-55-9); EU number 200-784-6); and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane (CAS number 72-54-8); EU number 200-783-0).

(10) Insufficient information is available to establish a MAC-MKE for these substances.

(11) For the group of priority substances subject to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), the mentioned biota-MKE and corresponding JG-MKE for water is the concentration of benzo (a) pyreen; both MKE are on the toxicity of benzo (a) pyrene based. Benzo (a) pyrene can be considered as a marker for other PAH and therefore the monitoring of benzo (a) pyrene for the biota-MKE and the corresponding JG-MKE should be monitored.

(12) Unless otherwise specified, the biota-MKE shall apply to fish. Alternatively, an alternative biotataxone or any other matrix may be monitored to the extent that the applied MKE provides an equivalent level of protection. For the substances with number 15 (fluorantheen) and 28 (PAH), the biota-MKE shall apply to shellfish and molluscs. For the assessment of the chemical status, the monitoring of fluorantan and PAH in fish is not appropriate. For dust number 37 (dioxins and dioxin-like compounds), the biota-MKE shall apply to fish, shellfish and molluscs; see Section 5.3 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 248/ (2). Commission Regulation (EC) No 1259/2011 of 2 December 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1259/2011 EUR 1881/2006 as regards the maximum levels for dioxins, dioxin-like PCBs and non-dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs (OJ L 320, 3.12.2011, p. 18).

(13) These EQS refer to the biologically available concentrations of the substances.

(14) PCDDs: polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins; PCDFs: polychlorinated dibenzofurans; PCB DL: dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls; TEQs: toxic equivalents, according to World Health Organisation Toxic Equivalency Factors (2005).

(15) Octylphenol (CAS 1806-26-4, EU 217-302-5) including isomer 4-(1,1 ', 3,3'-tetramethylbutyl)-phenol (CAS 140-66-9, EU 205-426-2).

  • 1. For this group parameter, the monitoring programme shall specify which substances are to be measured.

  • 2. For degradation products of plant protection products and biocides, a distinction is made on the basis of skin toxicological relevance. The European environmental quality requirement for water of 0,1 μg/l shall only apply to weeping toxicologically relevant degradation products.
