D1.1 - Initial Data management plan The DMP defines the project's data and outlines steps to ensure all outputs adhere to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). This deliverable is an initial version of the DMP which will be regularly updated throughout the project's duration. The link to the report will be available soon.
D2.1 - Chemical prioritisation scheme CONTRAST developed an add-on tool on existing contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) prioritisation scheme. This is a parameterized box model to predict the fate of selected CECs in the marine environment. based on three parallel schemes which consist of the persistence and bioaccumulation (PB) scheme, the toxicity (T) scheme, and the mobility (M) scheme. The link to the report will be available soon.
D2.2 - Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) priority list This deliverable is a dataset containing a large suspect screening library, which covers a wide range of relevant contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) and their transformation products. The selected priority CECs are in use by the project for chemical screening and investigation of biological effects in marine environments. The link to the report will be available soon.
D2.3 - Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) transformation model codeIn this deliverable, modelling of the vertical distribution of selected CECs in the water column and the sediments in the Oslofjord was performed, using models from the FABM family, coupling the benthic-pelagic model 2DBP with the biogeochemical model BROM and an advanced module for contaminant transformation. The source code documentation used from the transformation model applied to the model the transport and fate of CECs as stated is provided and can be accessed here:

The link to the report will be available soon.
D4.2 - Optimised method for proteomics analysis (IMR)This report delivers a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) which describes an optimised approach for the application of proteomics-based biodiversity assessment in marine ecosystems. The link to the report will be available soon.
D5.1 - Case study 1 Relationship between chemical contaminants in European coastal sediments and benthic diversity CONTRAST and the
TREC (Traversing European Coastlines) The projects partners are collaborating to understanding the relationship between chemical contaminants in European coastal sediments and benthic diversity. This deliverable presents a description of the TREC project sampling, the further selection of surface sediment samples for contaminant analysis and Effect-directedanalysis (EDA) by CONTRAST, and the analysis plan.
D7.1 - Proficiency report for biomarker analysis between EuropeanFollowing a proficiency test in connection with the
BEQUALM project, this deliverable presents a report on an EROD (Ethoxyresorufin-
O-deethylase) and a report on AChE (acetylcholinesterase) and protein method intercalibration exercise with homogenised fish samples, which were distributed to the participant laboratories informing and assessing the QA performance of the applied methods.
D8.1 - CONTRAST websiteYou are navigating the CONTRAST website, which was the first CONTRAST deliverable. The website is continuously updated to include relevant content about project activities, events, publications, and news.
D8.3- Educational website: A new formula
This is a webpage with education tools aimed at the general public. It informs the general public and particularly the younger generation on the potential dangers of chemicals in the home and the environment and advise on simple ways to reduce the use of toxic chemicals. Access
