English Abstract
Environmental Riks Limits (ERLs) were derived for zinc. ERLs serve as advisory values to set environmental quality standards in the Netherlands. The ERLs for zinc closely follow the outcomes of earlier discussions on zinc within the Water Framework Directive and EC Regulation 793/93. The ERLs refer to values that are not corrected for the bioavailability of zinc. The implementation of biovailabilty into the final environmental quality standards for zinc is a crucial follow-up discussion, including both technical and policy-related aspects.
