The European Union Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) requires individual member states to develop a robust set of tools for defining eleven qualitative descriptors of Good Environmental Status (GES), such as demonstrating that "Concentrations of contaminants are at levels not giving rise to pollution effects" (GES descriptor 8). Adopting the recommendations of the ICES/OSPAR Study Group for the Integrated Monitoring of Contaminants and Biological Effects (SGIMC), we present a case study demonstrating how the proposed approach, using chemical contaminant (metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls) and biological effects (EROD, bile metabolites and pathology) data in different matrices (sediment and biota), could be used to contribute to the determination of GES in a region of the North Sea region off the east coast of the UK.
欧盟海洋战略框架指令（MSFD）要求各成员国开发一套完善的工具，用于定义良好环境状态（GES）的十一项定性描述符，例如证明“污染物浓度处于不会产生污染影响的水平”（GES描述符8）。我们采纳了国际海洋考察理事会/奥斯巴委员会污染物与生物效应综合监测研究小组（SGIMC）的建议，给出了一个案例研究，展示了如何利用不同基质（沉积物和生物群）中的化学污染物（金属、多环芳烃和多氯联苯）和生物效应（EROD、胆汁代谢物和病理学）数据，采用提议的方法，为确定英国东海岸北海区域的良好环境状态做出贡献。
