International waters: GMP2 Data Warehouse

The GMP2 International waters dataset contains data and information from Cruises on POPs in surface water; for water-soluble fluorinated POPs only (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, its salts and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride). Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have emerged as significant global environmental pollutants with persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic properties.


The data for this dataset was collected in various scientific papers. Data were sampled between years 2005 and 2011. These studies aimed to investigate global PFC distribution and levels in water environment around the Earth.

Purpose

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.
