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 theproject for chemical screening and investigation of biological effects inmarine environments.

‍
‍D2.3 -Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) transformation model code
In this deliverable, modelling of the vertical distribution of selected CECs inthe water column and the sediments in the Oslofjord was performed, using modelsfrom the FABM family, coupling the benthic-pelagic model 2DBP with thebiogeochemical model BROM and an advanced module for contaminanttransformation. The source code documentation used from the transformationmodel applied to the model the transport and fate of CECs as stated is providedand can be accessed here: https://github.com/BottomRedoxModel/BROM/tree/master/brom/brom_partit.F90

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 on Zenodo can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17464753.
‍
D1.2 Midterm Data Management plan
A detail description of how data has been managed, e.g., stored, disseminated and shared, following the FAIR principles, as well as description of potential updates and deviations from the original Data Management Plan.

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.
