Question regarding "PAH" terms [BODCNVS-2488] #16

Open SLBlakeman opened 1 week ago

SLBlakeman commented 1 week ago

A question to the chemistry community regarding the linking of P01 codes of N-PAHs, S-PAHs, O-PAHs to the P02s: BCAH Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in biota GP050 Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmosphere PCAH Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in suspended particulate material PCHW Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the water column SCAH Concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediment samples

Several P01 codes containing these types of chemicals are already linked to these P02s. The question is, should they have been and should we continue to do so? If so, the description to the P02s will require an update.

The VMG team have decided for the time being to keep the substituted PAHs in the "other contaminants" P02s. I will review the existing linkages and make changes where necessary. The PAH P02s will be reserved for parent PAHs only.
