WEOG: GMP2 Data Warehouse

The GMP2 WEOG dataset contains information on POPs concentrations in ambient air, human tissue - breast milk and surface water; for water-soluble fluorinated POPs only (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, its salts and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride).


The second global data collection that can be seen in this dataset was held during 2013–2014 and it contained information on 23 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.


The region is not a coherent geographical unit. Its membership is divided into three continents, and The Western European and Others Group (WEOG) is composed of twenty-eight nations in Western Europe, North America, and Australasia.


The WEOG ROG report is based entirely upon existing monitoring programmes. Although it is difficult to provide a good categorization, the following illustrates the range of objectives observed from the programmes contributing to the WEOG report:

• Studies aimed to investigate levels and / or processes in areas close to historical local sources of POPs (e.g. HELCOM and studies in the Great Lakes region of North America such as IADN).

• Studies aimed to investigate levels and / or processes in areas distant from local sources of POPs where long-range transport and other processes are believed to be important in determining environmental levels and / or human exposure (e.g. AMAP; and NCP).

• Studies aimed at understanding regional and / or global transport (e.g., EMEP and GAPS)

• Studies aimed at providing a wide survey of levels (e.g., WHO coordinated human milk surveys).


The region collaborated with the following programmes and strategic partners to obtain data on core media:

• AMAP - Arctic monitoring and Assessment Programme

• EMEP - European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme

• GAPS - Global Atmospheric Passive Sampling network

• GMP UNEP – WHO Milk survey

• IADN - Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network (USA)

• MONET - (Passive sampling MOnitoring NETwork)

• NCP - Northern Contaminants Program (Canada) (Part of AMAP)

• TOMPS - The UK Toxic Organic Micro-Pollutants Programme

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.
