The health of species and the condition of habitats (such as their species composition and relative abundance at locations of chronic pollution) are not adversely affected due to contaminants including cumulative and synergetic effects

The spatial extent and duration of significant acute pollution events are minimised.

Concentrations of contaminants are at levels not giving rise to pollution effects.

Within coastal waters the concentrations of contaminants do not exceed the threshold values apply as follows: (a) environmental quality standard for priority substances selected in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC laid down in Part A of Annex I to Directive 2013/39/EC; (b) environmental quality standards for other contaminants laid down in Annex 9 Regulation of the Minister of the Environment of 21 July 2016 on the way of classifying the status of water bodies and environmental quality standards for priority substances (Polish low); (c) threshold values of water quality indicators from the group of substances particularly harmful to the aquatic environment (specific synthetic and non-synthetic pollutants), referring to uniform surface water bodies of all categories laid down in Annex 6 Regulation of the Minister of the Environment of 21 July 2016 on the way of classifying the status of water bodies and environmental quality standards for priority substances (Polish low). Beyond coastal waters, the concentrations of contaminants do not exceed the threshold values apply as follows: (a) environmental quality standard laid down in Part A of Annex I to Directive 2013/39/EC for priority substances selected in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC; (b) environmental quality standards and threshold values set nationally or regionally for other contaminants (also in other matrices) set as national or regional (HELCOM) indicators.
