Study design
- Details on sampling:
- Sampling:
The FOREGS sampling grid was based on GTN grid cells developed for Global Geochemical Baseline mapping. This grid divides the entire land surface into 160 km x 160 km cells covering an area of 4,500,000 km2. Sampling methodology, preparation and analysis are described by Salminen et al. (2005).
A total of 808 stream water samples and 852 sediment samples were processed in the FOREGS-program, including 757 paired samples, i.e. samples with the same coordinates for the sampling location of stream water and sediment that are summarised below.
High quality and consistency of the obtained data were ensured by using standardised sampling methods and by treating and analysing all samples in the same laboratory of each country.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Regarding the partitioning of vanadium in the water column, stream water/sediment partition coefficients range from 2993 L/kg to 11,200,000 L/kg. Even though V concentrations of sediments can be as high as 407 mg/kg, V concentrations in the water column of European stream waters are well below 20 μg/L. Since FOREGS sampled on a grid aiming to equally represent geochemical baseline concentrations across Europe, a European median log Kp (solids-water in sediment) value of 5.06 was derived.
