Analyse von Bioziden/Pestiziden in Humanproben GerES V/VI Teil Pyrethroide, Glyphosat und AMPA

Ziel des Vorhabens ist es, die in GerES VI gewonnenen Morgenurinproben der Erwachsenen bzw. die vorhandenen Rückstellproben der Kinder und Jugendlichen aus GerES V auf Schadstoffe zu analysieren, die eine besondere Gesundheitsrelevanz aufweisen, wie bspw. die Gruppe der Biozide/Pestizide. In GerES IV (ehemals Kinder-Umwelt-Survey, KUS) wurden letztmalig Morgenurine von 3- bis 14-Jährigen auf Organophosphate und Pyrethroide untersucht. Jedoch gibt es für zahlreiche Pestizide keine aktuellen, repräsentativen Daten zur korporalen Belastung der Bevölkerung in Deutschland. Daher wird momentan die mögliche Belastung über Berechnungen basierend auf dem Lebensmittelverzehr und Belastungsdaten der verzehrten Lebensmittel geschätzt. Um diese Datenlücke zu schließen, wurden Biozide/Pestizide als priorisierte Substanzgruppe im Rahmen des Projekts HBM4EU erkannt. Zur Festlegung des Analytspektrums wurde im Rahmen von HBM4EU eine Auswertung zu deutschen und europäischen Anwendungsdaten der Pestizide/Biozide und eine Auswertung der in Europa vorhandenen Expositionsdaten durchgeführt. Zusammen mit den Ergebnissen der Befragung der teilnehmenden Personen liefern die Analysen der Morgenurine repräsentative Informationen zur Belastung der in Deutschland lebenden Bevölkerung.

Geochemistry and petrology of black opal in the pegmatites from Volyn (Ukraine)

Black opal is a rare variety of opal-CT, which is pigmented by organic matter (OM) and can therefore be considered as an example of geo-bio interaction (Gouzy et al., 2025). The locality of Volyn, Ukraine with its famous chamber pegmatites is well-known for interaction between OM and igneous rocks (Franz et al., 2017). The locality was recently renamed Khoroshiv, but because in the geological-mineralogical literature the name Volyn was introduced, we use this name here. The intrusion of the pegmatites is closely connected to the intrusion of the host rocks, granites of the southwestern part of the Korosten Pluton, and the intrusion age was determined as 1.76 Ga (Shumlyanskyy et al., 2021). OM was identified as kerite (fossilized remains of organisms; Franz et al., 2023, and references therein), and in fluid inclusions in beryl and topaz (Vozniak et al., 2012; Vozniak and Pavlyshin, 2008). Furthermore, formation of NH4-bearing feldspar (buddingtonite) and muscovite (tobelite) in breccia (identified together with the pegmatites) point to the interaction between decayed OM and the igneous minerals (Franz et al., 2017). The timing of the interaction between OM and igneous (and other) fluids is an important question (Franz et al., 2024), and therefore we also give age constraints on the formation of the black opal, which from textural arguments seems to be one of the latest mineral formations. We give detailed information about the sample sites, the macroscopic features of the samples of different types of opal, and the analytical procedures. The description of the black opal samples is presented in images from secondary electron microscopy (SEM), back-scattered electron images (BSE) obtained with by electron microprobe (EMPA), element distribution maps obtained by µXRF (X-ray fluorescence), Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (IR), and X-ray powder (XRD) characterization. Chemical analyses were obtained by wave-length dispersive (WDS) analyses with the EMPA as well as by energy-dispersive (EDX) analyses with both the SEM and the EMPA instruments, to identify and characterize inclusions in the black opal. Trioctahedral Li-mica (polylithionite) is included by opal in one sample, and because this type of mica has not been described in detail from the Volyn peg-matites, we present the EMPA analytical data here in detail. The presence of OM, which is known to absorb U in sufficient amounts, allows dating by the U-Pb decay system. The results of the isotopic dating with the laser-ablation sector-field inductively-coupled mass spectroscopy system (LA-SF-ICP-MS) is presented for the selected individual do-mains in three samples. The operating conditions are summarized in a separated pdf document.

Colombian emeralds – internal and external growth and dissolution features

Emeralds from Colombia are among the most highly-prized and valuable gemstones. Their growth phenomena including information about the geology of the area were described in detail by Pig-natelli et al. (2015, 2022) and Schmetzer and Martayan (2023). Here, we present data obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), and infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR) for five emerald crystals. The surface of the crystals shows both, growth phe-nomena as well as dissolution phenomena, the latter as etch pits (EP). Such EP have been used previously for other beryl types, mainly from pegmatitic environments (Kurumathoor and Franz, 2018); the Colombian emeralds come from low-grade metamorphosed black shales and thus offer the possibility to extend the use of EP as a provenance indicator to other types of beryl deposits. Internal structures are manifested in chemical zoning, investigated by EMPA and micro-X-ray fluo-rescence (µXRF). The crystals are characterized chemically by EMPA, polarized IR spectroscopy of oriented crystals showed the presence of fluids in the channels of the beryl structure.

High-resolution quantitative electron microprobe analysis of garnets from Holsnøy, Norway

The island of Holsnøy is located in southwestern Norway. It is composed of metastable granulite facies lower crust that was subducted at 430 Ma when fluid infiltrated the region and reacted with large portions of the area to form eclogite facies shear zones. The eclogite facies assemblages contain garnet with granulite facies cores and eclogite facies fractures and rims. This dataset contains quantitative electron microprobe transects from garnets from four different eclogite facies samples. They are divided into two groups: rim profiles that run from the garnet rims toward the cores, and fracture profiles that run perpendicular to eclogite facies fractures. Some profiles have 5–10 µm spacing and were collected at 15 kV accelerating voltage whereas others have 1 µm spacing and were collected at 10 kV which reduced analytical convolution and facilitated higher spatial resolution of the profiles.

Radiogenic isotope compositions of eruption products from the 2019 paroxysmal eruptions at Stromboli Volcano

The periodic volcanic activity of Stromboli Volcano, Aeolian Islands, Italy, is interrupted by paroxysmal eruptions on a decadal interval. In 2019, two strong paroxysms on July 3rd and August 28th, ended a more than a decade long period of regular strombolian activity. During normal strombolian activity the volcano erupts highly porphyritic scoria and lava (HP) with a shoshonitic basalt composition. In paroxysmal eruptions the HP material is mingled with low porphyritic (LP) pumices. This dataset includes the first radiogenic isotope data on the bulk compositions of the LP and HP components erupted on July 3rd 2019, and a HP sample from the lava flow that followed the paroxysm, and a LP sample from the paroxysm on August 28th 2019. The analyzed radiogenic isotope ratios include Sr, Nd, Hf, and Pb. This dataset further includes in-situ EPMA and LA-ICP_MS measurements of major and trace elements in the glass, olivine, plagioclase and clinopyroxene phases.

Buildings data from Remote Rapid Visual survey (RRVS) for exposure modelling in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan

The dataset contains a set of structural and non-structural attributes collected using the GFZ RRVS methodology in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, within the framework of the projects EMCA (Earthquake Model Central Asia), funded by GEM, and "Assessing Seismic Risk in the Kyrgyz Republic", funded by the World Bank. The survey has been carried out between 2012 and 2016 using a Remote Rapid Visual Screening system developed by GFZ and employing omnidirectional images and footprints from OpenStreetMap. The attributes are encoded according to the GEM taxonomy v2.0 (see https://taxonomy.openquake.org). The following attributes are defined (not all are observable in the RRVS survey): code description lon longitude in fraction of degrees lat latitude in fraction of degrees object_id unique id of the building surveyed MAT_TYPE Material Type MAT_TECH Material Technology MAT_PROP Material Property LLRS Type of Lateral Load-Resisting System LLRS_DUCT System Ductility HEIGHT Height YR_BUILT Date of Construction or Retrofit OCCUPY Building Occupancy Class - General OCCUPY_DT Building Occupancy Class - Detail POSITION Building Position within a Block PLAN_SHAPE Shape of the Building Plan STR_IRREG Regular or Irregular STR_IRREG_DT Plan Irregularity or Vertical Irregularity STR_IRREG_TYPE Type of Irregularity NONSTRCEXW Exterior walls ROOF_SHAPE Roof Shape ROOFCOVMAT Roof Covering ROOFSYSMAT Roof System Material ROOFSYSTYP Roof System Type ROOF_CONN Roof Connections FLOOR_MAT Floor Material FLOOR_TYPE Floor System Type FLOOR_CONN Floor Connections. For each building an EMCA vulnerability class has been assigned following the fuzzy scoring methodology described in Pittore et al., 2018. The related class definition schema (as a .json document) is included in the data package.

Earthquake Model Central Asia: seismic exposure modelling

The datasets in this collection include input and output components of the seismic exposure model developed within the framework of the Earthquake Model Central Asia and used for seismic risk assessment. In particular the collection includes: - A dataset of around 7’000 individual building observations in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan collected using the Remote Rapid Visual Survey (RRVS) methodology developed at GFZ, along with the class schema used to map the individual taxonomic observations into vulnerability-related building classes. These are used to develop suitable prior distribution and to constrain locally the resulting exposure models - The seismic exposure models for the following central Asian countries: Kazakhstan , Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, aggregated over a set of heterogeneous tessellations (geo-cells) The methodology employed for the development of the exposure models is described in Pittore, M., Haas, M., and Silva, V. (2020) “Multi-resolution Probabilistic Modelling of Residential Exposure and Vulnerability for Seismic Risk Applications”, Earthquake Spectra. Two versions of the models obtained with two different parameter settings are included. The models are provided in .csv and in .xml (nrml 0.5) format, for compatiliby with the OpenQuake hazard and risk assessment engine.
