Overall Evaluation — Ferrara / ER-site

Scoped to one remediation method. Before = baseline samples matching the method's sample type; a phase the method doesn't have shows as “no data”.

Overall assessment

Remediation recommended based on the latest sampling date: 10.2.2026 (After Remediation)

Biodiversity is read as a trend — rising Shannon / Simpson from the before stage onward indicates recovery. Expected levels per phase are in admin → Biology phase profiles.

QR ≤ 0.5 acceptable. QR > 0.5 → check AHB: ≥ 10³ CFU/g = bioremediation not suitable (strongly inhibited); < 10³ = not suitable without microbial augmentation (bioaugmentation, repeat measurements, assess inhibition).

NYM1 369 days water After Remediation 47.8% Exceeds ±20% — significant effect on the nitrifying community Nonconforming

The inhibition or stimulation of nitrification must not exceed ±20%. Values beyond this indicate a significant effect of the sample on the nitrifying microbial community.

Conclusion

Auto-generated draft

Based on the most recent data (After Remediation) for Ferrara – ER-site, the site is assessed as: Remediation recommended. Chemistry: no classified measurements available for this phase. Ecotoxicology: dominant category is E (Very high toxicity). The most sensitive organism is Lettuce aquatic. Across the recorded phases, chemistry risk is stable across phases and ecotoxicity is stable across phases. Recommendation: the contamination level still warrants action — continue or adjust the remediation strategy, identify the main contaminant, and re-sample to confirm a downward trend. Biology / supportive methods (provisional): biodiversity rising across phases; nitrification exceeds ±20% — significant effect on the nitrifying community. These indicators are shown for reference and do not yet affect the overall stance.
