Project

Remobilisation of pollutants from sediments

On several locations in Flanders sediments are seriously contaminated. Within the framework of European regulation (Water Framework Directive) it is important to assess the impact of this pollution on the aquatic ecosystem. Within this project, the possible influence of sediment contamination on the water quality and ecological goals of the ecosystem will be investigated. The project consists of a literature study, field measurements and experiments and the elaboration of a policy framework for Flanders.
