State of the environment 1991. Part I. Integration. Quality of the Air, Soil and Groundwater "pilot" study

One of the RIVM spearheads is the description and analysis of present environmental quality. Part II of the analysis for 1991 (report number 222101022) presents the atmospheric concentrations and deposition values of a large number of air pollutants in the Netherlands whether in part III (report number 724801003) the quality of the soil and groundwater is presented using data collected with the assistance of the soil and groundwater monitoring networks. This report is the result of a pilot study integrating and harmonizing the results of the monitoring networks on air, soil and groundwater. A thematic approach has been chosen for the presentation. Different cross sections have been selected for the various compounds relevant to the themes: acidification, application of manure and the distribution of heavy metals, arsenic, pesticides and PAHs.RIV

State of the environment 1991. Part III. Quality of the soil and groundwater

RIVM has a national integrated environmental monitoring network at its disposal for carrying out the monitoring. Besides national networks for radioactivity and the quality of air, rainwater and drinking water, this monitoring network consists of national networks for the soil and groundwater quality. This report describes the quality of the soil and groundwater using data collected with the assistance of the soil and groundwater monitoring networks, and, as well, the results of various theme-oriented monitoring programmes. Groundwater quality is described using data from 1991. Also older data is used for soil quality. The monitoring data apply primarily to the upper 10 cm of soil, the upper 100 cm of groundwater and the overall groundwater levels of 10 and 25 m above ground level.DG
