Additional information

TOC - total organic carbon, Total N - total nitrogen, Total P - total phosphorous, Cd - Cadmium, Hg - Mercury, Ni - Nickel, Pb - Lead. Croatia comparison is from 2014 because it was not an EU member state before.

Gap filling of non reported data is not performed to avoid production of anomalous % change between two given years.
For this reason Bulgaria, Czechia, Malta and Slovakia has been not considered.
