wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 10:15 - 11:45 | 06.10.2008 - 23.01.2009 | C 13.7 Labor

Inhalt: • Definition of anthopogenic chemical pollution, typical classes of pollutants (e.g. organic compounds such as pesticides, PAH, CFC, and inorganic compounds such as nutrients) • Emission sources, local region and global distribution of pollutants • Environmental cycling and fate of pollutants • Legislation and effects of pollution control • Tracing of chemical pollutants in ecosystems (lectures and practice on chemical analysis and instrumentation are offered in semester 2 and 3) • Substances of emerging concern (with reference to marine environments) • Resulting shifts in nutrient cycling and shifts in species composition • Differences in ecological and chemical assessments of ecosystem damage • Pollution impacts on ecosystem stability and resilience • Searching literature and working with scientific-journal papers. Topics will be illustrated by completed and ongoing research projects.

Sources and Sinks of Compounds in the Environment 1 (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Wolf-Ulrich Palm, Wolfgang Ruck

Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 06.10.2008 - 23.01.2009 | C 13.7 Labor

Inhalt: Basic distribution mechanisms and abiotic and biotic degradation processes in water, soil and air will be presented. Interactions between different compartments are discussed. Connection of processes occurring in the environment with topics concerning the generation of energy from renewable products, wind and sun will be presented. - Abiotic degradation processes. Distribution processes and their thermodynamic description. Equilibria in environmental chemistry. - Importance of the sun as energy source. Reactions of reactive species such as the OH-radical in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. - Mobility, distribution and advective transport - Application of simple box models (Mackay level 1 and 2) - Degradation by microorganisms - Differences in abiotic and biotic degradation - Renewable energy sources, biogas - Wind energy

Status und Trends der Luftverschmutzung in Europa: Implikationen für einen nachhaltigen Naturschutz (Vorlesung/Seminar)

Dozent/in: Gerhard Petersen

Inhalt: Ausgehend von der UNO-Schutzkonvention zur Reduzierung der grenzüberschreitenden Luftverschmutzung in Europa und dem sechsten EU Umweltaktionsprogramm CAFE (Clean Air For Europe) werden anthropogene Schadstoffquellen und Ausbreitungsmechanismen in der Atmosphäre behandelt. Schwerpunkte des Seminars sind atmosphärische Einträge von Schadstoffen in terrestrische und aquatische Ökosysteme. Insbesondere werden dabei kritische Belastungsgrenzen („critical levels and loads“) als Funktion der anthropogenen Schadstoffemissionen innerhalb und außerhalb Europas und deren zeitliche Trends diskutiert.
