Model to Predict Concentrations of Chemicals in Marine Aquaculture Sediment-Collection of EU Environmental Data for Exposure Scenarios of Freshwater Sediments from Small Edge-of-Field Water Bodies

Description

Aim of this procurement is to conclude on a framework contract (lot 1) and a direct contract (lot 2): — lot 1 – develop, calibrate, validate and ground truth a model to predict environmental concentration of chemical substances in marine sediments under sea cages when those have been administered via feed; — lot 2 – collection of existing and generation of new environmental data relevant for the characterisation of aquatic sediment scenarios to estimate the exposure of pesticides in small water bodies adjacent to agricultural fields. Lot 1: Lot 1 – Refinement ERA Development of a model to refine the predicted environmental concentrations of chemical substances in marine sediment. Lot 2: Lot 2 – Collection Data Sediments Collection of environmental data relevant for the exposure scenarios of freshwater sediments.
