Evaluation of the effectiveness of the system - Environment
For limited resources, the steps proposed for the implementation of this sub-element are:
- Measuring selected chemicals in the environment. The number of measurement per chemical is low but representative. Laboratory analysis is carried out.
- Store the information, for example in a standalone computer or a National Database if available, for dissemination and use.
- Assessment of the measurements for evaluation of the effectiveness of the system.
