Procedures for the assessment and establishment of noise-reducing air routes

Within the approval and assessment process for new flight paths, currently mainly operational and safety related criteria are been taken into account. The people affected by aviation noise also criticize an insufficient consideration of noise effects and overall little transparency of the assessment procedure. This study identifies the most relevant criteria for this assessment process and propose...read more

Use of nanoscale iron for the remediation of groundwater damages

Fact sheet nano products

The applicability of a number of nanomaterials Groundwater damages can be caused for instance by the inappropriate handling of environmentally hazardous materials, disasters or improper handling and disposal of waste. The so-called pump and treat method was the method of choice for the remediation of groundwater damages in the past. It involves the transport of the contaminated groundwater through...read more

Use of nanomaterials in textiles

Fact Sheet

Nanotechnology can make jackets more water- and tableclothes more dirt-repellent. It can also protect the environment, for example if the textiles can be used longer or if self-cleaning surfaces save cleaning agents. The nanomaterials are to be stably embedded to maintain the product quality and functionality of the textiles. This also prevents the release of nanomaterials with potential hazards t...read more

Investigation of widely used nanomaterials (TiO2, Ag) and gold nanoparticles in standardized ecotoxicological tests

At the nanoscale level, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials differ in fundamental, and often valuable, ways from the properties of individual atoms and molecules, or bulk matter. Research and development in nanotechnology is directed towards creating im-proved materials, devices, and systems that exploit the new properties. The specific properties of nanoparticles proved...read more

Technical Assistance for the Implementation of a National Training and Competence Centre (TCC) for the Water Sector in Karlovac, Croatia

Final Report

Advisory Assistance Programme for Environmental Protection in the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia

The idea of establishing a National Training and Competence Centre (TCC) for the Water Sector in Croatia was born during the visit of a GWP delegation in May 2010 to Karlovac. The following written project design envisioned a two-stage introduction of the centre. First, a pilot phase should raise awareness among actors of the Croatian water sector and clarify key questions about organisational mat...read more
