In 1990 a project started which was aimed at developing a monitoring method of SO2, NH3 and NO2 to Speulder forest. In January 1993, within the framework of the LIFE programme a project was financed which aim was to develop a deposition monitoring method for air pollution of...
RIVM participated in the joint project SREMP (Surface Resistance Emergency Measurement Program), financed by the European Commission DG XII (50%). The main tasks of RIVM was to help determine measuring strategy and select equipment. Furthermore, interpretation of data and...
Results are presented of the research on 'Mapping dry deposition of acidifying components and base cations on a small scale in Germany'. Using these maps critical load exceedances can be calculated in more detail than could be achieved so far by using regional scale...
EUPHIDS (EUropean Pesticide Hazard Information and Decision-support System) is the result of a research project carried out during 1993-1995 with the support of the Environment Research Programme (1990-1994) of the European Union.
This analysis is based on published measurements of nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from fertilized and unfertilized fields.
The Dutch activities contributing to the EUROTRAC-TOR programme were set up to study and quantify the underlying chemical and transport processes important to the occurrence of photochemical oxidants in Europe. The project involved establishing an advanced monitoring site at...
The FAO-Unesco soil units of Europe have been aggregated into categories of soils with similar soil characteristics (soil depth, stoniness, texture, acidity, etc.) which are of importance to the vulnerability of the soil to major degradation processes.
The Environmental Information and Planning Model (RIM+) has been developed by the Laboratory for Waste Materials and Emissions at the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment. RIM+ is an instrument both for maintaining data on emissions, energy use and waste...
Although the time scale of climate change is very long, the time scale of climate policymaking is by necessity much shorter. This report connects long term protection of climate with near term global policy action, with the aim to support current climate negotiations.
This document reports data on fine particulate matter with regard to sources and emissions, exposure levels, effect levels, risks, and technical possibilities for reducing these risks. The information provides the scientific basis for formulating an effect-directed...
