FOREGS Geochemical Baseline
Programme (FGBP)
This programme has been initiated to provide high
quality environmental geochemical baseline data for
Europe. The data will be based on samples of stream
water, stream sediment, floodplain sediment, soil, and
humus collected from all over Europe. High quality
and consistency of the obtained data are ensured by
using standardised sampling methods and by treating
and analysing all samples in the same laboratories.
The FGBP is authorised by the directors of the
Geological Surveys within FOREGS (Forum of European
Geological Surveys). The FGBP also represents
the European contribution to the International
Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS)/ International
Association of Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry
(IAGC) Working Group on Global Geochemical
Baselines.
The present report contains comprehensive instructions
for sample site selection and sample collection.
In addition, a summary of methods intended
for sample preparation and analysis is included. Detailed
descriptions of analytical methods used in
FGBP will appear in a separate report.
