The agreement sets out to continue a core program of sample collection and analysis (specifically, post-mortems and reporting on the impact of avian influenza on the PBMS), the project is steered by a Project Group which includes the other funding partners, who have separate agreements with UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH). The program will carry out surveillance of residues of selected contaminants in the tissues and eggs of a range of predatory bird species. This enables the funding partners to monitor trends and advise on the effectiveness of measures to restrict the use and entry into the environment of the monitored compounds and the degree of concern regarding the presence and level of a range of toxic compounds in wildlife. Maintaining and enhancing the PBMS platform is also important in the development of a terrestrial chemical monitoring program for England. The developmental monitoring programme is required to deliver advise to government on chemicals and biocides policy, and to service the development and reporting on the H4 indicator 'Exposure and adverse effects of chemicals on wildlife in the environment'. H4 is one of a suite of indicators in the Environment Improvement Plan EIP (formerly the 25-Year Environment Plan (25-YEP)) Outcome Indicator Framework. The indicator contributes to measuring whether we are moving towards the goal of 'managing exposure to chemicals'. The H4 indicators are based on chemical concentrations found in water and in different organisms including apex predator mammals and birds. PBMS is a key platform that enables the gathering of samples and data used in the development and reporting on the 25-year indicators.
