Towards development of a deposition monitoring network for air pollution of Europe (LIFE II)
In the framework of the LIFE II project, financed by the European Commission DG XI, fluxes of NH 3 , SO 2 and NO x were measured from July 1996 to November 1998.
Toxicity of Ambient Air PM10. A critical review of potentially causative PM properties and mechanisms associated with health effects
In this critical review studies focus on ambient particulate air pollution (PM) toxicity and particle hypotheses. Mechanisms were also evaluated to investigate causality and plausibility of acute…
Analysis of the impact of the Kyoto Protocol on the export revenues of OPEC member states and on the oil import requirements of non-Annex I countries
The members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) continue to voice their concerns about the adverse impact of the implementation of greenhouse gas emission reduction policies on…
Deriving and Applying Response Surface Diagrams for Evaluating Climate Change Impacts on Crop Production
This paper presents the method to develop response surface diagrams (RSD) suitable to evaluate the impacts of climate change on potential crop production and crop area.
Defining the importance of including transient ecosystem responses to simulate C-cycle dynamics in a global change model
This paper presents the method to develop response surface diagrams (RSD) suitable to evaluate the impacts of climate change on potential crop production and crop area.
Ecological, Social and Economic Evaluation of Transport Scenarios: An Integral Approach. A Phd research programme
This report describes a research programme for the development of a methodology for the integral assessment of ecological, economic and social impacts of transport scenarios.
Health Risks in relation to air quality, especially particulate matter. Interim report
A quantitative risk assessment of health effects associated with particulate matter (PM), especially ambient PM 10 levels, for the Netherlands has indicated premature mortality among approximately…
