Intentions to Move and Actual Moving Behaviour in The Netherlands
This study examines how anticipated triggers for moving and individual, household and regional characteristics hamper or stimulate actual moving behaviour of people who intend to move. It uses a…
Nitrogen pollution costs the European Union between €70 billion and €320 billion per year. This cost is more than double the value that nitrogen fertilizers are estimated to add to European farm…
Modelling the impact of sea-salt particles on the exceedances of daily PM10 air quality standards in the Netherlands
Particles generated at the sea surface contribute to PM 10 levels in coastal areas. Current estimates suggest annual average contributions of up to 10 µg/m³ along the North Sea coast in the…
For the last five years, scientists across Europe have chronicled the little-known nitrogen dilemma and the threats it poses to our environment and health – as well as how we can solve the problem.
Do new and uncertain risks threaten human health? Because science is unable to sufficiently answer this question, risk and safety policies confront limits, exemplified by climate change and adaptation…
Plan-led planning systems in development-led practices
Planning laws are usually made with good intentions, but do not always lead to good results, at least not when measured against their own goals. Since July 2008 the Netherlands has had a new planning…
Strong decrease in labour force expected for large parts of Europe
Under unfavourable demographic and economic circumstances, the European labour force is expected to decrease by 20% up to 2050. This causes an increase in pressure on the working population to provide…
Scarcity in a Sea of Plenty? Global Resource Scarcities and Policies in the European Union and the Netherlands
Current high prices of food, oil and many other resources are indications of increasing scarcity. This scarcity, however, has little to do with stock depletion. Badly functioning markets and wrong…
Anthropogenic and natural constituents in particulate matter in the Netherlands
To develop mitigation strategies for reducing concentrations of both PM 2.5 and PM 10, the origin of particulate matter (PM) needs to be established. An intensive, one-year measurement campaign from…
The nitrogen load on Dutch Natura 2000 areas; local effects and strategies
To assess nitrogen levels on a local scale, an experimental version of the OPS model was combined with monitoring measurements from Natura 2000 areas. In a pilot study, expected emission trends were…
