Substances which accumulate in the environment and impact on wildlife are considered to be hazardous. Substances identified as a particular cause for concern include cadmium, mercury, lead, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls ( PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs) and brominated flame retardants ( PBDEs). Inputs of selected substances to the marine environment via rivers and effluent discharges have been quantified for the OSPAR Rivers and Direct Discharges ( RID) programme since 1990.
\r\n\r\nThe layers show the assessments from the UK Marine Environment Monitoring and Assessment National (MERMAN) database, used for international reporting for the following substances in sediment and biota.
\r\n\r\nUpdated graphs for dredge spoil hazardous substance content (as found in Scotland\u2019s Marine Atlas) can be accessed in the \u2018Data Sources\u2019 tab at the bottom of the page.
