TimeTitle and Authors
13:30Discussion: Implementation of passive sampling in policy
Discussion topics
• What is needed/required to get PS really implemented? This can be suggestions on scientific level or policy level.
• Can PS play a more prominent role in WFD-monitoring than it has so far?
• What are suggestions on national level to use PS?
• Do we need quality standards for free dissolved concentrations in water so compliance checking can also be done with
PS data?
• What is needed to derive the quality standards for free dissolved concentrations in water
