Global air traffic has increased extensively during the last few decades and is expected to increase further over the next 20 years by about 5-6% per year. Emissions of trace gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, sulphur oxides, water vapour and soot...
The Ministry of Housing, Physical planning and Environment wants to achieve a better coordination of environmental and physical planning policies. In this report the relation between environment and physical planning is discussed on a conceptual level and illustrated in two...
Scenarios with an explicit time-dependence are crucial for an adequate assessment of the impacts of climatic change. Furthermore, an effective treatment of feedbacks requires a geographically explicit description of the interactions between climate and biosphere. The present...
The results of the statistical analyses are used in other RIVM-reports which respectively give an evaluation of a study about reduction of P-load in Elfhoeven/Nieuwenbroek (703711002), biomanipulation and P-fixation studies in Klein Vogelenzang/Groot Vogelenzang (703711003)...
The biological parameters discussed are the phytoplankton community structure, the zooplankton species composition and biomass, the abundance of macrophytes and the fish community structure in Lake Klein Vogelenzang. The biological parameters are also discussed in the...
Within the framework of a pan-European evaluation of the forest condition data, the available crown condition data (defoliation) have been correlated with site-specific estimations of various stress factors, both natural and anthropogenic. The effect parameters include the...
Aims of this study were to calculate emission reductions (%) for policy target groups (like industry, traffic and refineries) to evaluate present agreements on emission reductions and to advise on possible new long-term agreements.
In this study various aspects of ownership and use of private cars by households are studied. The private car has been at the centre of discussions about environmental problems for many years.
This report provides an overview of the efforts put forth to present and evaluate WorldScan, a long-term model of the world economy, developed at the (Central Planning Bureau)CPB. One of the pivotal activities was the organisation of a peer review of the model during a...
The fourth report on the Coordination Center for Effects (CCE) describes critical threshold methodologies and results which are used for the scientific support of the second nitrogen oxide protocol under the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution of the...
