2. MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE MONITORING SYSTEM |
The aim of the Monitoring System is to provide the data which are necessary for adopting a national policy of health and environment protection at all levels of public service, which provide the background for legislative measures to be taken and which will allow the establishment of different pollutant limits with more accuracy.
The Monitoring System is consistent with the general principles of any monitoring. This means that:
The System of monitoring the environmental impact on population health involves these six subsystems (projects):
The results of the fifth year of monitoring, the defined quantities and indicators are presented with an evaluation covering the whole monitoring period, i. e. from 1994 to 1998. The gradual fulfillment of one of the major goals of the Monitoring System is carried out in this way, i.e. the evaluation of trends and temporal series, and this depends on the sufficiently long duration of each of the subsystems.
