CEE: GMP2 Data Warehouse
The GMP2 CEE Region dataset contains information on POPs concentrations in ambient air and human tissue - breast milk.
The second global data collection that can be seen in this dataset was held during 2013–2014 and it contained information on 24 POPs listed in the Stockholm Convention when the second global data collection took place. The data were sampled between 2008 and 2014, however also older data were reported.
According to the UN structure, the region of Central and Eastern Europe consists of 23 countries. For the purpose of the first evaluation, 5 countries of the Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) were added to the CEE regional report. There is no current production of POPs in the CEEC region. The main sources of POP pollution are obsolete and unused pesticides (including the ones with POPs properties) in agriculture, POPs-containing equipment, use of industrial technologies resulting in unintentional releases of dioxins and furans and formation of dioxins and furans in the open combustion.
The only long-term monitoring program focused on POPs in ambient air performed in the CEE region is the integrated monitoring program at Košetice observatory in the Czech Republic which is also a part of EMEP background monitoring.
Monitoring effort has been coordinated on the international (UN ECE/EMEP; Nordic Environment Research Programmes; Swedish Baltic Programme), national (Czech Republic in all environmental matrices and human tissues for more than 20 years), and local bases (City of Gdansk; Krakow) and carried out by the individual research institutions and governmental authorities according to their competence. These are often Hydrometeorological or Environmental institutes responsible also for reporting, including the international reporting.
The region collaborated mainly with the following programmes and strategic partners:
• AMAP (Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme)
• EMEP (Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Programme)
• GAPS (Global Atmospheric Passive Sampling network)
• GMP UNEP – WHO Milk Survey
• Kosetice (national programme in the Czech Republic, part of EMEP, GAPS and MONET monitoring)
• MONET (Passive sampling MOnitoring NETwork)
Except for the Czech Republic, no systematic and regular human biomonitoring of POPs has been performed in the Central and Eastern European countries since 1998. With regards to dioxins, dl-PCBs and marker PCBs, the 3rd and 4th round of WHO-coordinated exposure studies have given the most reliable results because, in spite of a small number of milk samples, the samples were collected, stored and shipped according to a WHO protocol and pooled samples were analyzed by the same laboratory meeting the strict QA/QC criteria.

- Purpose
-
A Global Monitoring Plan was designed to monitor POPs in the environment and to protect human health. The focus of the Global Monitoring Plan to support the effectiveness evaluation of the Stockholm Convention is on environmental background concentrations in media with a high potential for comparability.
A POPs Global Monitoring Program (GMP) was developed to facilitate the evaluation and monitoring process. The main objectives of the Program are:
• a) To evaluate actual reduction or elimination of POPs in response to Articles 3 and 5 of the Convention
• b) To provide a harmonized organizational framework for the collection of comparable monitoring data on the presence of the POPs listed in Annexes A, B and C of the Convention
• c) To provide information on the regional and global environmental transport of these POPs
• d) To detect the trends in levels of POPs exposure in human
• e) To build the capacity of Africans to undertake such studies and implement POP related programs
• f) To assist with regional capacity building in developing countries

- Statement
-
The POPs Global Monitoring Plan Data Warehouse (GMP DWH) has been developed by the Stockholm Convention Regional Centre in the Czech Republic through the Research Centre for Toxic Compounds in the Environment, Brno, Czech Republic (RECETOX) and the Institute of Biostatistics and Analyses, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, under the guidance of the GMP Global Coordination Group, and based on Chapter 6 of the Guidance on the Global Monitoring Plan for Persistent Organic Pollutants relevant to data handling (UNEP/POPS/COP.6/INF/31).
The GMP Data Warehouse (DWH) is designed to work with data from a wide range of heterogeneous sources, such as national monitoring programmes or large international monitoring networks.
The data reporting model involves compiling and archiving primary GMP data within a “regional data repository” in the GMP DWH. In addition, the GMP DWH compiles and archives aggregated data, including supplementary data, in cases where no primary data is made available.
Only reliably reported concentration values can be accepted for any spatial or temporal comparison. Therefore, a multilevel evaluation procedure based on the annually aggregated concentration values is proposed in order to maintain a high predictive value of the GMP records while avoiding bias in the concentration values.
Compatible data records stored in the GMP DWH are considered by members of the respective regional organization group and validated for further use in the publication.
