  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">These sample data are from sediment cores collected using a NIOZ (Royal 
Netherlands Institute for Sea Research design) Box Corer during 3 surveys 
conducted by the Research Vessel (RV) Cefas Endeavour. Sample were analysed 
for and data presented for Metals, Rare Earth Elements (REE), Organotins (OT), 
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE &#x2013; 
Flame Retardants), Polychlorinated Biphenyls Ethers (PCB &#x2013; Industrial 
Chemicals), Organochlorine Pesticides (OCP), and Per &amp; Poly Fluoroalkyl 
Substances (PFAS). Additional surface scrapes were taken from sediment grabs 
using a Day Grab during the latter two surveys (CEND172023 &amp; CEND092024).</dc:description>
