Recruitment and composition of population of research to be used for the Natural History Study of the PIAMA project
This report describes the recruitment of participants for the Natural History study of the PIAMA (Prevention and Incidence of Asthma and Mite Allergy) project, a birth cohort study on incidence and…
The Interactive Scenario Scanner (ISS): a Tool to Suppport the Dialogue between Science and Policy on Scenario Development; Version 1
In order to explore long-term policy options for controlling climate change, there is a need to develop and evaluate long-term emission scenarios. If these scenarios are to be policy relevant, they…
Ecosystem Vulnerability and Climate Protection Goals
Using a review of possible impacts, scenarios of the IMAGE 2 model and the 'Safe Landing Analyses', we have shown here that selecting an appropriate ecological target could assist in defining…
The impact of NOx emissions from subsonic aircraft on the atmosphere: a 3D model study of the changes in ozone and radiative forcing for the period 1990-2015
Global air traffic has increased extensively during the last few decades and is expected to increase further over the next 20 years by about 5-6% per year. Emissions of trace gases such as carbon…
Environment and space. Review of concepts, illustrations and fields of research
The Ministry of Housing, Physical planning and Environment wants to achieve a better coordination of environmental and physical planning policies. In this report the relation between environment and…
Scenarios with an explicit time-dependence are crucial for an adequate assessment of the impacts of climatic change. Furthermore, an effective treatment of feedbacks requires a geographically explicit…
Statistical analyses of water quality parameters in the Reeuwijk Lakes Elfhoeven and Nieuwenbroek (1983-1992) and Klein Vogelenzang and Groot Vogelenzang (1988-1992)
The results of the statistical analyses are used in other RIVM-reports which respectively give an evaluation of a study about reduction of P-load in Elfhoeven/Nieuwenbroek (703711002), biomanipulation…
Biological waterquality parameters in the Reeuwijk Lakes Elfhoeven, Nieuwenbroek (1983-1992) and Klein Vogelenzang and Groot Vogelenzang (1988-1992)
The biological parameters discussed are the phytoplankton community structure, the zooplankton species composition and biomass, the abundance of macrophytes and the fish community structure in Lake…
Relationships between forest condition and natural and anthropogenic stress factors on the European scale. Pilot study
Within the framework of a pan-European evaluation of the forest condition data, the available crown condition data (defoliation) have been correlated with site-specific estimations of various stress…
Emission reductions targets for priority substances: calculation of emission reduction targets for target groups, based on environmental quality standards and emissions in 1995
Aims of this study were to calculate emission reductions (%) for policy target groups (like industry, traffic and refineries) to evaluate present agreements on emission reductions and to advise on…
