Predicting the impact of seasonal fluctuations on the potential ecotoxicological risk of multiple contaminants in the River Scheldt discharge into the Western Scheldt estuary
Biweekly monitoring of the water quality is too infrequent to catch changes. Hydrodynamic/chemical models improve the insight in fluctuations in water quality. Ecotoxicological risk calculation improves the evaluation of the chemical status. There is no need to discriminating between priority and non-priority substances.
