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 for 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 sixth year of monitoring, the defined factors and parameters are presented with an evaluation covering the whole monitoring period, i.e. from 1994 to 1999. 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 time series, and this depends on the sufficiently long duration of each of the subsystems.
Gradually, with further development of the Monitoring System, the so called specialized studies were formulated at the close of 1999 within the definition of Resolution No. 369/1991 of the Government of the Czech Republic. These studies relate to the existing results of monitoring and undertake the problems beyond the framework of the basic tasks of the Monitoring System, the solution of which is needed for the further development of monitoring activities. The results will be gradually published in special reports and will be available to the interested public.
