The distribution of conclusions is presented for the unique organic constituents registered under REACH as of September 2019, those registered >10 tons per annum, substances detected in DW media (bank filtrate, groundwater, raw water, drinking water), all water media (additionally surface water and bank filtrate), and REACH substances detected in DW media. Numbers in italic show a decrease in number of substances when the UBA criteria is selected.
