Comprehensive Study on Riverine Inputs and Direct Discharges

Purpose

The Comprehensive Study on Riverine Inputs and Direct Discharges (RID) aims to assess the input of selected contaminants to the OSPAR maritime area and its regions which are carried via rivers into tidal waters or are discharged directly into the sea (for example through sewage pipelines or activities like aquaculture applying substances directly in the sea). The RID Study currently focusses on mandatory monitoring and reporting of the concentrations and loads of the metals cadmium, copper, lead, mercury and zinc, the organic pollutant lindane, nitrogen and phosphorus species and suspended particulate matter. Monitoring of PAHs, mineral oil, PCBs and other hazardous substances, especially organohalogens, are recommended for voluntary monitoring.
