Description
Monitoring and evaluation of the quality of the marine environment (biota) of the Belgian continental platform and the Scheldt estuary. more
Cod, mussel, flounder and shrimp are analysed for heavy metals, organochlorines (including PCB's), organotin compounds and polybrominated flame retardants.
