A global setting for European environmental monitoring — measuring what we must manage
Food production, energy security, the availability of safe drinking water and healthy ecosystems are all drivers of stable economic growth. The recent economic upheavals have underlined this fact and shown just how important it is that the planet`s natural capital is managed as well as its economic assets if society`s basic needs are to be met.
Today`s international frameworks, conventions and multilateral environmental agreements (1) aim to achieve this, but their effectiveness is being held back ... |

Analysis of sewage and sewage sludge
Recently, the increase in sewage sludge generated in the processing of sewage is becoming a problem due to sewage system dissemination and expansion of processing facilities. Sludge is normally incinerated or solidified and disposed of in landfills, or recycled for use in construction materials like concrete, or in fertilizer, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the levels of heavy metals in this sludge, or the danger of their leaching into the environment.
This application introduces ... |
