Expert advice on environmental risk assessment of contaminated sediments

In the context of the further elaboration of the policy related to risk assessment of contaminated sediments in Flanders, OVAM has set up different actions. Initiatives from Flanders and abroad provide insight into how the risks of sediment contamination can be estimated and tackled. This results in a large amount of knowledge and information. However, it is a complex matter. That is why researchers from SPHERE, with relevant expertise, will assist OVAM. The information related to environmental risk assessment from the various projects will be used to develop its policy in Flanders.
