Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Given the scale, the coverage of all EU countries and the recent date of the study, the results are considered relevant for assessing current soil quallity (arable soil) in the EU.
- Executive summary:
90P zinc concentrations for all but 3 EU countries are given in results section. The remaining 3 country data are given in a separate study record.
