Abstract

Finland was one of those countries that relatively early (1962) created a system of authorized water institutes. Their function is to provide analytical services to local authorities and industry in their statutory monitoring of waste and receiving waters. A lot of work has been done in order to improve the quality of water monitoring data. These include interlaboratory comparison studies, standardization of methods and internal quality control. The standard of the data collected today can be considered satisfactory, apart from data concerning specific organic determinands which is a field in which much work still remains to be done.
