Scientific opinion on "Draft environmental quality standards for priority substances under the Water Framework Directive" : 5-6 rings PolyAromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

The dossier on Environmental Quality Standards for "PAHs" is reviewed by the SCHEER according to the general mandate on EQS dossiers. The proposed dossier is a revision of a previous EQS dossier (2018) based on recent data and the procedure proposed in the new EQS Technical Guidance (2018). However, several sections of the dossier refer to old technical documents (2011). It is the opinion of the SCHEER that all the procedures must be updated, according with the 2018 EQS Technical Guidance.
