Technical Protocol for Laboratory Tests of Transformation of Veterinary Medicinal Products and Biocides in Liquid Manures

Version 1.0

This technical protocol describes a laboratory test method to evaluate the transformation of chemicals in liquid bovine and pig manures under anaerobic conditions and is primarily designed for veterinary medicinal products (VMP) and biocides. The environmentally relevant entry routes into liquid manures occur via urine and feces of cattle and pigs in stable housings after excretion of VMP (as pare...read more

Post-2012 climate regime

How industrial and developing nations can help to reduce emissions -

Assessing emission trends, reduction potentials, incentive systems and negotiation options

According to the IPCC fourth assessment report (2007), global carbon dioxide emis-sions need to be reduced by at least 50 to 85% in 2050 compared to 2000 levels if the increase in global surface temperature is to be limited to 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels. The IPCC also suggests intermediate greenhouse gas emission targets for 2020, including a range of 25% to 40% emission reductions comp...read more
