Information on pollution levels
MSC-E conducts operational modelling of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) contamination and their transboundary transport across countries. Annual status and changes of the pollution are provided through pollution maps, temporal trends, and estimates of transboundary pollution.
