The first part looks at chemical pollution of surface waters focusing on organic compounds (with a particular emphasis on priority substances as defined in the EU Water Framework Directive and pollutants specific to the Danube river basin) heavy metals and nutrients. The second part describes the biology and hydromorphology of the Danube. The volume focuses on benthic macroinvertebrates phytobenthos macrophytes fish phytoplankton and microbiology and includes chapters on the gaps and uncertainties in ecological status assessment and invasive alien species. This comprehensive picture of the Danube is complemented by further chapters on hydromorphology sediment management and isotope hydrology.
