Gutachten zum regionalen Bewuchsdruck von Biofouling-Organismen in Deutschland

Um den Bootsrumpf bewuchsfrei zu halten, werden meist biozidhaltige Antifouling-Anstriche verwendet. Die regionalen Bewuchsverhältnisse sind ein entscheidender Faktor für die Wahl eines geeigneten Antifouling-Produkts. Ein passendes Antifouling-Produkt auszuwählen, ist wiederum ein erster Schritt, die Umwelt durch weniger Biozid-Eintrag zu entlasten.

In order to estimate the resulting environmental risk, two surfactant groups (i.e., LAS and AES) were determined by target analysis in 33 wastewater samples from German sewage treatment plants.

Es ist daher wichtig, sie so anzuwenden, dass Mensch und Umwelt möglichst wenig belastet werden.
