AbstractAbstract
[en] The purpose of the research: Development of methods for the remediation of artificial polluted soils and the improvement of polluted lands to ecologically clean agricultural production.The following tasks will be implemented in this project to achieve viable practical solutions: - To determine the priority pollutants, their ecological pathways, and sources of origin. - To form a supervised environmental monitoring data bank throughout the various geo system conditions. - To evaluate the degree of the bio geo system pollution and the influence on the health of the local human populations. - To establish agricultural plant tolerance levels to the priority pollutants. - To calculate the standard concentrations of the priority pollutants for main agricultural plant groups. - To develop a soil remediation methodology incorporating the structural, functional geo system features. - To establish a territory zone division methodology in consideration of the degree of component pollution, plant tolerance to pollutants, plant production conditions, and human health. - Scientific grounding of the soil remediation proposals and agricultural plant material introductions with soil pollution levels and relative plant tolerances to pollutants. Technological Means, Methods, and Approaches Final proposed solutions will be based upon geo system and ecosystem approaches and methodologies. The complex ecological valuation methods of the polluted territories will be used in this investigation. Also, laboratory culture in vitro, application work, and multi-factor field experiments will be conducted. The results will be statistically analyzed using appropriate methods. Expected Results Complex biogeochemical artificial province assessment according to primary pollutant concentrations. Development of agricultural plant tolerance levels relative to the priority pollutants. Assessment of newly introduced plant materials that may possess variable levels of pollution tolerance. Remediation technologies for polluted soils based on the principles of antagonism and synergism. Division zone methodology for polluted territories. Soil remediation methodologies to facilitate agricultural plant introductions and successful plant production in improved agricultural lands

AbstractAbstract
[en] The integrated system that embraces forest management, forest products, and land-use change impacts the global carbon cycle - and hence the net emission of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide - in four fundamental ways. Carbon is stored in living and dead biomass, carbon is stored in wood products and landfills, forest products substitute in the market place for products made from other materials, and forest harvests can be used wholly or partially to displace fossil fuels in the energy sector. Implementation of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change would result in the creation of international markets for carbon dioxide emissions credits, but the current Kyoto text does not treat all carbon identically. We have developed a carbon accounting model, GORCAM, to examine a variety of scenarios for land management and the production of forest products. In this paper we explore, for two simple scenarios of forest management, the carbon flows that occur and how these might be accounted for under the Kyoto text. The Kyoto protocol raises questions about what activities can result in emissions credits, which carbon reservoirs will be counted, who will receive the credits, and how much credit will be available? The Kyoto Protocol would sometimes give credits for carbon sequestered, but it would always give credits when fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions are displaced

AbstractAbstract
[en] The manual of technical environment protection gives a systematic synapsis of the legal requirements placed on the construction and operation of environmentally relevant installations in pursuit of preventing dangers and ensuring public safety. The bothersome task of searching through the pertinent textbooks and legal regulations thus largely becomes superfluous. The manual serves as a reference book for operators of installations (craftsman's businesses and industrial enterprises), chambers of handicrafts, authorizing authorities (district administrations, industrial inspection boards, incorporated cities etc.), engineering and planning offices, schools and other institutions teaching environment protection, and environmental associations. Besides discourses on building regulations, emission monitoring, plant safety, residue monitoring, and water and soil protection the book also contains a collection of frequently needed data and information, describes requirements placed on industrial plants, and gives explanations, decision-making aids, and calculation examples for putting environment protection into practice. (orig.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The present paper discusses the good and the bad sides of manure fermentation. The abatement of methane emissions can be counted as an ecological asset as it has a favourable influence on the greenhouse effect. The loss of nitrogen during the anaerobic process must be considered a drawback. Intense fermenting activity and elevated temperatures lead to a considerable nitrogen output. (EF)
[de]
Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden die positiven und negativen Aspekte der Guellevergaerung dargestellt. In oekologischer Hinsicht ist die Methanemission vermindert, was sich positiv auf den Treibhauseffekt auswirkt. Negativ zu bewerten sind Stickstoffverluste waehrend der Anaerobbehandlung. Durch die intensive Gaertaetigkeit und die erhoehte Temperatur kommt es zu einem erheblichen Ammoniakaustrag. (EF)Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] Now that the 'iron certain' has fallen and Communism has broken down, full light is shed on the situation in East European countries and one aspect of the truth to learn is that nature, too, has fallen to pieces in these countries formerly governed by the 'evil'. Hardly a spot between Warsaw and Wladiwostok that has not been hit by the combat against nature and the heritage of destruction is ubiquitons, threatening the future of various ethnical groups, for example, in the northern part of the former USSR, affected by incredible radioactivity levels and the impacts of ruthless natural oil production or deforestation of large parts of Taiga in Sibiria. (orig.)

Nach dem Zusammenbruch des Kommunismus in Osteuropa wird immer deutlicher: Die Natur im einstigen 'Reich des Boesen' ist ein Scherbenhaufen. Kaum ein Flecken zwischen Warschau und Wladiwostok, der nicht von der Schlacht gegen die Natur betroffen ist. Die Radioaktivitaet, aber auch der Abbau von Erdoel und die Abholzung der Taiga-Waelder in Sibirien bedrohen das Ueberleben der Kleinen Voelker des Nordens. (orig.)Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] The project is concerned with the description of the methods and techniques used in waste management as regards their environmental aspects. Methods dealt with are the collection, sorting and conditioning of secondary raw materials, the collection, thermal treatment and deposition of wastes, and the composting of organic waste and horticultural wastes. The investigation covers the sectors municipal waste, bulky refuse, and non-toxic trade waste. In the area of secondary raw materials, paper/cardboard/millboard, glass, metals (aluminium, tin plate), plastics and composites are materials to be considered separately. Concerning the subject of ''waste avoidance/waste minimization'', the work investigates returnable systems in cooperation with several dairies and establishes recycling figures for the one-litre, glass milk bottle. With reference to three examples (starch, ''biopol'' and transparent foil, for instance ''cellophane''), the use of renewable raw materials as a packaging material is investigated. Finally, an overview is given on methods for recycling of residues used in the EC, the USA and Japan. (orig.)

Ziel des Projektes ist es, die in der Abfallwirtschaft zum Einsatz kommenden Verfahren und Prozesse hinsichtlich ihrer Umweltaspekte zu beschreiben. Zu untersuchen ist die Erfassung, Sortierung und Aufbereitung von Sekundaerrohstoffen, die Erfassung, thermische Behandlung und Ablagerung von Abfaellen sowie die Kompostierung von Biomuell und Gruenabfaellen. Die Untersuchung soll die Bereiche Hausmuell, Sperrmuell und hausmuellaehnliche Gewerbeabfaelle umfassen. Im Bereich der Sekundaerrohstoffe sind die Materialien Papier/Karton/Pappe, Glas, Metalle (Aluminium, Weissblech), Kunststoffe und Verbunde getrennt zu betrachten. Unter der Thematik ''Abfallvermeidung/Abfallverminderung'' sollen in Zusammenarbeit mit mehreren Unternehmen der Milchwirtschaft Mehrwegsysteme untersucht und Umlaufzahlen fuer die 1 l Glasflasche fuer Frischmilch erhoben werden. An drei Beispielen (Staerke, ''Biopol'' und Zellglas (z. B.: ''Cellophan'')) ist der Einsatz nachwachsender Rohstoffe als Verpackungsmaterial zu untersuchen. Schliesslich ist ein Ueberblick zu geben ueber Verfahren der stofflichen Verwertung von Rueckstaenden in der EG, USA und Japan. (orig.)Original Title
