REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
Consultancy for Multi-media (water, sediment,
biota) monitoring and assessment of toxic contaminants in the
Mekong riverine environment
Invitation number: RFP10-072
Project/programme: Environment Division
Summary of objectives
The study provided a useful, but preliminary, picture of the quality of the river’s water and sediments and potential risks of contamination. It established baseline conditions for environmental contaminants in the lower Mekong River and its major tributaries.
Summary of need(s)
Key toxic contaminants are so far not included in MRC’s Water Quality Monitoring Network, but they are considered as strategically important to be included in future monitoring and assessment activities, considering the expected economic growth and increased basin development of the Mekong riparian countries. As many of these contaminants such as persistent organics pollutants and heavy metals, tend to accumulate along the food-chain, they are a concern and potential risk for both aquatic life and the protection of human health. Available data and information on the past and current status and trends of toxic contaminants both basin-wide and at hotspots in the Mekong riverine environment is limited. This assignment will provide an update of toxic contaminants in the lower Mekong riverine environment.
