RecommendationsRecommendations
Some results of FATE
AssessmentAssessment Estimation of spatial nitrogen and phosphorus balance
Assessment of nutrient pressures (source apportionment)
Scenario AnalysisScenario Analysis Impact of agri-environmental practices on water quality
Impact of climate changes on water and nutrient requirements in agriculture
http://ies.jrc.ec.europa.eu
ATLAS collecting data available at EU27 to assess pressures from nutrients
Europe-wide Harmonized
Geographical Database
Europe-wide Harmonized

Collection of landscape and climate data for multimedia environmental modelling at EU27
JRC – Ispra
Spatial Nitrogen Diffuse Emissions
estimated by the GREEN model
(average on 10 km grid)
Nitrogen Diffuse Emissions: input of nitrogen into surface waters originated from diffuse sources, including agriculture, atmospheric deposition and scattered dwellings.
The map of diffuse emissions for each source can be provided
Estimation of nutrient pressureDiffuse Emissions
JRC – Ispra
P scattered dwellings (kg P/ha)
Nutrient input from diffuse sources: P from scattered dwellings
An analysis of pyrethroids in European waters
J. Env. Management, submitted (2007)
• A class including 63 chemicals
• Corresponding to 3.4 % of total insecticides used in Europe (Eurostat 2003)
Emissions of lindane to soils via direct application (1991) and through atmospheric deposition (2001)
Modelling estimates of seawater
concentrations of PCBs from land-based
sources(ng/m3)
Assessment of 1,2-Dichloroethane emissions to water
Modelling: • Main multimedia
mechanisms: advection, volatilization
• Half-life in water: 10 hrs, mainly due to volatilization, as degradation is negligible in water
EPER points
On going development
• Retrospective and perspective scenario analyses to evaluate the impact of EU policies (1985-2020)
