Dredge sediment contaminant concentrations, including trace metals,
organotoxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCs), and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs) data collated under the Action Level Review Project by Centre
for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) within UK waters
from 1998 to 2022. The purpose of this study was to determine potential
impacts of proposed action levels in the assessment of dredged sediment for
licensing of disposal at sea.
