While in 2012 a commercially available acrylic sealant was used as sample material, in 2014 a lacquer doped with specific substances was sent to the participants for the VOC and odour measurement.

It was the aim of the project to develop a method to determine the transformation of substances in liquid manure. In a first step, the heterogeneity of manure of different type and origin was tested. Furthermore, a procedure was tested which is capable to take samples homogeneously from a manure storage tank.

This report deals with the effects of pesticides on biodiversity in agricultural and especially arable landscapes. The term “pesticide” describes plant protection products and biocides.

The Federal Environment Agency was commissioned a study to produce a first approximation of the amounts of microplastics used in cosmetic products on the market in Germany and the European Union, conduct research into further areas of application for microplastics and determine their amounts of use, and identify other sources of microplastics and estimate their quantity.

Die Studie präsentiert erste Ergebnisse zu den Verwendungsmengen von Mikropartikeln aus Kunststoff in kosmetischen Produkten und weiteren Anwendungsbereichen. Primäre Mikropartikel aus Kunststoff werden direkt in mikroskopischer Größe hergestellt.

Residues of pharmaceuticals pollute our waters and soils. Their traces are found in groundwater and in some cases in drinking water. A risk for the environment has already been identified for a few pharmaceutical active substances. However, according to current knowledge, no risk for human health is indicated.

Um modellbasierte Prognosen von Antifouling-Wirkstoffeinträgen durch Sportboote durchzuführen, müssen im Rahmen der EU-Biozidproduktzulassung belastbare Daten zum Bestand von Sportbooten und Häfen mit ihren Liegeplätzen vorliegen. Für Deutschland waren solche repräsentativen Daten nicht verfügbar.

Based on recommendations by international river basin and water body commissions, a checklist concept was developed as a tool to efficiently evaluate the condition of installations handling substances and preparations hazardous to water. It comprises an overview of potential fields of action as well as specific checklists subdivided by functional units, sectors and risk areas.
