Environmental monitoring, marine and maritime sediments (view service)

Sediments in accumulation areas represent a lower for many elements and environmental toxins. Analysis of sediment samples has therefore become an important tool in environmental monitoring work. Data hosting is a system set up by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to increase the availability and delivery of various types of environmental monitoring data, including sediment. Environmental monitoring marine sediments — WMS shows only information on sampling stations and sites within the framework of national, regional and local environmental monitoring of sediments and dumping sites.
