“…In the case cities PPs have been monitored in different environmental compartments (water, soil and air) as well as in sewage sludge during monitoring campaigns conducted in compliance with regulation or in individual research projects. Within ScorePP a PP screening campaign for each city is conducted (Seriki et al, 2009). …”

The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) aims to reduce/phase-out emissions and discharges of priority pollutants (PPs) in order to protect water bodies throughout the European Union (EU). According to the WFD, River Basin Management Plans should be developed for all relevant water bodies in order to implement appropriate measures for achieving 'good chemical status'. The ScorePP project is developing emission control strategies to reduce discharges of PPs into receiving waters on an urban (city) scale as a support to regulatory authorities, water utilities and relevant industries. Though the results are still preliminary it is clear that the existing EU regulations are powerful and full implementation should be encouraged. Substitution with alternative substances is not feasible for all PPs applications, and conventional wastewater treatment techniques are also not effective for all PPs. Hence an integrated approach is needed with emission control strategies comprising a combination of both source control and end-ofpipe treatment.
