Critical loads and dynamic modelling to assess European Areas at risk of acidification and eutrophication
European critical loads and novel dynamic modelling data have been compiled under the LRTAP Convention by the Coordination Centre for Effects. In 2000 9.8% of the pan-European and 20.8% of the EU25…
Compared with other countries, the cost of environmental regulation in the Netherlands is high. However, this does not necessarily harm the competitiveness of the Dutch economy. The costs for…
The Triptych approach revisited: A staged sectoral approach for climate mitigation
How can an international agreement on climate change distribute responsibilities and emission reduction requirements between countries to be effective, technically feasible and is viewed as fair? This…
Biomass energy strategies for aligning development and climate goals in India
The production of modern biomass for energy presents a concrete opportunity for developing countries to align development and climate goals, but one that is also surrounded by questions concerning the…
Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2005
This report documents the Netherlands' annual submission of the greenhouse gas emission inventory in accordance with the United Nation's Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the…
Effectiveness of international emission control measures for North Sea shipping on Dutch air quality
Far-reaching measures to reduce emissions caused by North Sea shipping have proven to be cost-effective in improving air quality in the Netherlands. Measures at sea are important, considering shipping…
Assessing potential impact to ground water in the EU and Member State registration procedures
A FOCUS work group was established in 2004 to harmonise EU and Member State pesticide registration procedures. The work group has proposed a four tier ground water assessment process considering…
Propagation of uncertainties in soil and pesticide properties
Uncertainties in DT50 and Kom contributed most to the uncertainty in pesticide leaching concentrations. These results were obtained from a sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of the GeoPEARL model.
