Podatki o bioloških učinkih so zelo nepopolni in jih je potrebno dopolniti z monitoringom (2)
Podatki o bioloških učinkih so zelo nepopolni in omogočajo v nekaterih primerih (genotoksični učinki in acetilholinesterazni test), da izračunamo koncentracije ozadja (background concentration). (2)

Za morsko vodo po Uredbi o stanju površinskih voda (URL 14/2009. Za sediment ni še uveljavljenih okoljskih standardov, podajamo okvirne meje za koncentracije PAH-ov, za katere imamo rezultate 9-letnih meritev. Za druge spojine nimamo dovolj podatkov. (1)
Za morsko vodo po Uredbi o stanju površinskih voda (URL 14/2009. Za sediment nimamo dovolj lastnih rezultatov, da bi postavili meje. (1)
podatki so pridobljeni iz ene sezone in menimi, da niso zadostni za postavitev BAC vrednosti (2)
podatki so pridobljeni v okviru večletnih meritev na istih vzorčnih mestih (biomonitoring Barcelonska konvencija) (2)
