“…As a result, the pollutants that may occur in the basin were determined according to the sectors in line with the data obtained from the projects carried out by Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs. Additional, prioritization assessment studies were carried out to establish the ranking of substances that pose a risk for the substances detected in the basin (Eker and Çokay, 2022b;Karahan et al, 2016). Table 1 presents the outcome of the sector pollutant matching analysis conducted for the potential contaminants in the basin.…”

“…In addition, WFD proposed to monitor additional pollutants determined by the country's requirements. The 250 pollutants on the final list, included in the "Regulation on Surface Water Quality Management" published by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and and Climate Change, are considered to be the most hazardous pollutants in Türkiye's river basins (Karahan et al, 2016). By conducting an additional assessment within the river basin, it is possible to identify the pollutants that are most likely to be a problem and to prioritize them for monitoring and remediation for certain river basin (Çokay et al, 2016;Eker and Çokay, 2022a).…”

The European Union's Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC provides a strategic solution to deal with chemical pollution in rivers. The directive encompasses monitoring and detection of 45 priority pollutants and specific contaminants found in surface waters. An increase in the number of compounds to be monitored may pose a challenge. Hence, it is crucial to prioritize pollutants that require immediate action in the short, medium, and long term based on capacity reports submitted by relevant industries in high-pollution basins. As a consequence of this, prioritizing studies in basins has gained significance in terms of the process of planning the monitoring of chemicals that call for immediate action and lowering the expenses associated with monitoring. Three strategies are used to be the most effective for identifying specific pollutants: the COMMPS method, THS, and TIS. These strategies prioritize and eliminate contaminants. According to this knowledge, a number of studies for the Meriç-Ergene basin were conducted. The Meriç-Ergene Basin is situated in the Thrace Sub-Region, which extends from the Istanbul Provincial border in the east to the Bulgarian and Greek borders in the west, in the transition zone from the Marmara Region to Europe. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended to monitor a total of 88 contaminants in the Meriç-Ergene basin in Turkey. Furthermore, the prominent substances on this list have been classified as pollutants that require monitoring and immediate action in the basin, with monitoring being prioritized.

Prioritization of substances for national ambient monitoring of sediment in Switzerland

In Switzerland, surface waters are protected by the Swiss Water Protection Ordinance (OEaux; OFEV 1998), which stipulates that the water quality shall be such that the water, suspended matter, and sediments contain no persistent synthetic substances to ensure the protection of aquatic life. Local agencies are in charge of water quality monitoring, using a set of validated methods. Several lists of priority substances have been developed for aquatic microcontaminants for surface water monitoring but not for sediments. Some local agencies have established sediment monitoring programs, but to date, there exists no harmonized methodology for sediment quality assessment in Switzerland. Within the main goal of developing and providing methodologies for monitoring sediment quality in Switzerland, a screening was performed to help prioritize sediment-relevant microcontaminants. The screening approach was largely based on the NORMAN (network of reference laboratories, research centers, and related organizations for monitoring emerging environmental substances) system and was carried out in four steps: (1) identification of candidate substances, (2) selection of sediment relevant substances, (3) classification of substances into different categories based on identified data gaps and envisaged actions, and (4) ranking within each action category. This paper describes the methodology used in the prioritization process for sediment-relevant substances and provides recommendations for monitoring strategies in Switzerland.
