In this study an international inventory is made of the emission reduction technologies and potentials for Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases (NCGGs) in such a way that they can be used for policy formulation…
Effect of climate change on the hydrology of the river Meuse
This study describes historical observations and future estimates of the discharge regime of the river Meuse, with reference to climate change. It specially deals with low flows and integrates results…
Integrated assessment of vulnerability to climate change and adaptation options in the Netherlands
In recent decades, it has become increasingly clear that the global climate is becoming warmer and that regional climates are changing. This report summarizes the results of an integrated assessment…
Bioaccessibility of contaminants from ingested soil in humans. Method development and research on the bioaccessibility of lead and benzo[a]pyrene
For risk assessment of orally ingested contaminants it is often unknown how much of the contaminant is taken up by the human body. In most human risk assessments of soil contamination, oral bio…
Sources, Regional Scaling and Validation of Methane Emissions from the Netherlands and Northwest Europe
The agreed emission reductions in the Kyoto Protocol require methods to establish the quality and accuracy of the inventory data and to monitor compliance with the Protocol. The IPCC Expert Meeting in…
Representation of the seasonal hydrological cycle in climate and weather prediction models in West Europe
This report is the final report of the project "Representation of the Seasonal Hydrological Cycle in climate and Weather Prediction models in west Europe (NRP project 951246)". The report describes…
Differentiation of future commitments in climate policy
This paper aims at exploring options for differentiation of future commitments in global greenhouse gas emissions control, linked to climate targets. This is done on the basis of the EU target of a…
Een herziene procedure voor het concentreren van organische microverontreinigingen in water
Een nieuwe procedure voor het concentreren van chemische verontreinigingen in monsters van oppervlaktewater wordt getest op 27 chemicaliën met uiteenlopende fysisch-chemische en biologische…
A revised procedure to concentrate organic micro-pollutants in water
A new procedure to concentrate chemical pollutants in surface water samples is tested against 27 chemicals of varying physico-chemical and biological properties. A comparison is made to former…
