Priority class

Criteria

High priority

Priority

Pesticides or relevant metabolites present in drinking water sources > 0.1 mg/L (for 90th % of all data > LOQ)

Non-relevant metabolites present in drinking water sources > 1 mg/L (for 90th % of all data > LOQ

Potential priority

Pesticides or relevant metabolites present drinking water sources > 0.1 <  0.1 mg/L (for 90th % of all data > LOQ)

Non-relevant metabolites present in drinking water sources > 0.1 < 1 mg/L (for 90th % of all data > LOQ)

Low priority
