Reduction of environmental risks from the use of biocides: Environmental sound use of disinfectants, masonry preservatives and rodenticides
In November 2009 a framework action plan for achieving a sustainable use of pesticides was established by Directive 2009/128/EC on the basis of the corresponding Thematic Strategy. It aims at minimising hazards and risks for human health and the environment.
Checklists for surveying and assessing industrial plant handling materials and substances, which are hazardous to water
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.

Biocides
The intended use of biocides is to kill, to destroy or to deter living organisms. Undesirable effects on environment and health are thus likely to occur. This is true even if products are authorised, because the aim of the authorisation procedure is for every single product to keep these effects below an unacceptable level, not to eliminate the effects as a whole.
Biozide: Vorschlag für einen europäischen Ansatz für eine nachhaltig umweltgerechte Verwendung
Der Zweck von Bioziden ist es, Organismen zu töten, zu zerstören oder abzuschrecken. Dass durch ihre Anwendung auch unbeabsichtigte negative Effekte auf die Umwelt oder die Gesundheit auftreten, ist deshalb wahrscheinlich. Auch die Zulassung von Biozidprodukten kann nicht verhindern, dass diese unerwünschten Wirkungen weiterhin auftreten können.
Vorbereitung der Entscheidung über eine mögliche Zulassung kreosothaltiger Holzschutzmittel in Deutschland
Das vorliegende Gutachten soll einen Überblick über die noch bestehenden Einsatzbereiche von Kreosot-behandelten Hölzern bieten und Kenntnis- und Entwicklungsstand über mögliche Alternativen (im chemischen Holzschutz oder mit anderen Materialien) zum Einsatz von Teeröl darlegen, um ein realistisches Bild davon zu erhalten, welche Bedeutung Kreosot in Deutschland derzeit noch hat und ob und in w
Validierung von Analyseverfahren, die im Rahmen des Projektes HORIZONTAL entwickelt, jedoch nicht validiert wurden
Die Normung von Analyseverfahren ermöglicht, dass Parameter unter standardisierten Bedingungen qualitätsgesichert ermittelt werden können. Insbesondere dann, wenn Verfahren in gesetzliche Regelwerke einfließen, ist es notwendig, dass die Ergebnisse sicher und vergleichbar sind und der Aufwand im Vollzug vertretbar ist.
REACH Compliance: Data Availability of REACH Registrations - Part 1: Screening of chemicals > 1000 tpa
The report on the project “REACH Compliance: Data Availability of REACH Registrations” presents findings and results from the screening of 1932 dossiers of lead and individual registrants covering phase-in substances with a production volume of equal or above 1000 tpa.
Identification of potentially POP-containing Wastes and Recyclates – Derivation of Limit Values
A condition for the setting of limit values is the detailed knowledge of the presence of pollutants in waste, products as well as recyclates.
