These sample data are from sediment cores collected using a NIOZ (Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research design) Box Corer during 3 surveys conducted by the Research Vessel (RV) Cefas Endeavour. Sample were analysed for and data presented for Metals, Rare Earth Elements (REE), Organotins (OT), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE – Flame Retardants), Polychlorinated Biphenyls Ethers (PCB – Industrial Chemicals), Organochlorine Pesticides (OCP), and Per & Poly Fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Additional surface scrapes were taken from sediment grabs using a Day Grab during the latter two surveys (CEND172023 & CEND092024).
