The data provides an overview of the vulnerability sensitivity of Finnish aquifer areas. The vulnerability assessment was carried out using the DRASTIC method, which is intended for the general examination of the groundwater pollution potential resulting from the natural geological and hydrogeological conditions of an aquifer body. Vulnerability is divided into five categories describing vulnerability potential: very low (<64), low (64-104), moderate (104-145), high (145-185) and very high (>185). The method considers hydrogeological parameters that affect the vertical movement of water from the ground surface to the groundwater. The resolution of the raster is 200 m.
Original grid values are based on digitized magnetic anomaly maps of Finland on a 1 km x 1 km grid (First National Airborne Mapping Programme 1951-1972,relative anomalies by flux-gate instrumentation). Relative values were further made absolute by tying with long profiles flown 40 km apart from each other(Tie line survey 1968-69, proton magnetometer instrumentation). The profiles were reduced to 1965.0 using Geomagnetic data at Finnish observatories of Nurmijärvi and Sodankylä, and a moving base station for short term corrections. Magnetic anomaly was calculated by subtracting IGRF1965 from absolute values of F in 1965.0. Later on anomaly definition was changed to DGRF-1965.

In Finland, a Government Decree on the Assessment of Soil Contamination and Remediation Needs has generated a need for reliable and readily accessible data on geochemical baseline concentrations in Finnish soils. According to the Decree, baseline concentrations, referring both to the natural geological background concentrations and the diffuse anthropogenic input of substances, shall be taken into account in the soil contamination assessment process. This baseline information is provided in a national geochemical baseline database, TAPIR, that is publicly available via the Internet.
Regional geochemical baseline values, presented as upper limit of geochemical variation within the region, can be used as trigger values to assess potential soil contamination. Baseline values have also been used to determine upper and lower guideline values that must be taken into account as a tool in basic risk assessment. If regional geochemical baseline values are available, the national guideline values prescribed in the Decree based on ecological risks can be modified accordingly. The national geochemical baseline database provides scientifically sound, easily accessible and generally accepted information on the baseline values, and it can be used in various environmental applications.
