How can we evolve contaminant monitoring to address emerging priorities while
maintaining surveillance of historical contaminants?
Background
Clean, healthy, and biologically diverse seas and freshwater environments are fundamental to
delivering Scotland's Blue Economy Vision. This research area focuses on understanding and
addressing the impacts of human activities on marine and freshwater ecosystems, developing
approaches to reduce pollution and degradation, and promoting active restoration to
enhance ecosystem health and function.

Contaminants of emerging concern: An integrated approach for assessing impacts on the marine environment. Acronym: CONTRAST
CONTRAST will develop an integrated assessment and effect-based monitoring framework (IAF) to measure the impacts of CECs on the marine environment to provide a measure of Good Environmental Status for application in EU ...
Funded by: Horizon Europe Guarantee
Why might this be relevant?
The project specifically focuses on developing an integrated assessment and effect-based monitoring framework to measure the impacts of contaminants on the marine environment, aligning with the question's objective.

Next Generation Passive Sampling for Monitoring Organic Contaminants in Water
Anthropogenic organic contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial products are found in rivers, lakes, and estuaries, and pose a risk to both the natural environment and the humans that use it. Hence...
Funded by: NERC
Why might this be relevant?
While the project focuses on monitoring organic contaminants in water, it does not directly address the question's emphasis on evolving contaminant monitoring to address emerging priorities in marine and freshwater ecosystems.
