Comparing data to the IA phase, a qualitative improvement is generally observed, although the current coverage percentages are lower. Concerning to metals, exceedances were not recorded, while in IA they were found in all three subregion. Concerning to HOCs no exceedances were recorded, confirming the past IA.
