The Floods Directive (FD) was adopted in 2007 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32007L0060). The purpose of the FD is to establish a framework for the assessment and management of flood risks, aiming at the reduction of the adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with floods in the European Union. ‘Flood’ means the temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water. This shall include floods from rivers, mountain torrents, Mediterranean ephemeral water courses, and floods from the sea in coastal areas, and may exclude floods from sewerage systems. This reference spatial dataset, reported under the Floods Directive, includes the areas of potential significant flood risk (APSFR), as they were lastly reported by the Member States to the European Commission, and the Units of Management (UoM).
The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban waste water and the treatment and discharge of waste water from certain industrial sectors. The objective of the Directive is to protect the environment from the adverse effects of the above mentioned waste water discharges. This series contains time series of spatial and tabular data covering Agglomerations, Discharge Points, and Treatment Plants.
In today's biodiversity crisis, there is an urgent need to monitor terrestrial and aquatic species in their natural habitats, especially those that may be endangered, invasive or elusive. Traditional species observation methods, based on acoustic or observational surveys are inefficient, costly and time consuming. On the other hand, DNA is continuously deposited in the environment from natural processes and this environmental DNA (eDNA) allows us to detect species and reconstruct their communities with a high level of sensitivity. These data can be used to obtain occurrence records and to collect more population information in field. Crucially, these data are necessary to inform management agencies about the current state of our biodiversity, and are especially urgent for species that are currently data deficient. The aims of this study are to firstly identify occurrence records from diverse sources (databases, literature) and generate a database of distributional data for species of crustacean and mollusks that are data deficient in Sweden. Secondly, we aim to detect threatened species in Swedish marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats using novel genomic methods (DNA metabarcoding, ddPCR). Finally, based on the new data, we will run species distribution and population models, to improve information on geographic range and population status for threatened invertebrates. The results will be integrated into current monitoring programmes (e.g. red-listing) and action plans.
Ziel des Forschungsvorhabens ist, die Narkosegas-Belastung fuer Krankenhaus-Personal so gering wie moeglich zu halten. Hierzu wurde die Narkosegas-Belastung an verschiedenen Arbeitsplaetzen im Uniklinikum Tuebingen systematisch erfasst und im Kontext zu verschiedenen Narkose-Verfahren und oertlichen Gegebenheiten bewertet. Ergebnisse bisher: 1) Der Einsatz von Larynxmasken und ungeblockten Endotracheal-Tuben in der Kinder-Anaesthesie fuehrt zu vergleichbarer Narkosegas-Belastung fuer das Personal. In vollklimatisierten OP-Raeumen (Luftwechselzahl 16) koennen bei beiden Narkoseverfahren die vorgeschriebenen Grenzwerte deutlich unterschritten werden. 2) Nachtraeglich eingebaute Lueftungs-Anlagen in Aufwachraeumen koennen zur Reduktion der Narkosegas-Belastung beitragen, auch wenn sie faelschlicherweise unter der Decke und nicht am Boden installiert wurden. 3) Bei voll klimatisierten OP-Raeumen laesst sich Isofluran im Blut von Anaesthesisten nur wenige Minuten nach Masken-Einleitung von Kindern nachweisen. 15 Minuten nach Einleitung ist Isofluran im Blut unter der Nachweisgrenze (1 ng/ml).
Progress to targets for energy efficiency is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member State's energy efficiency contributions and progress in achieving them. The EEA collects and quality checks this data. The dataset links to data from Eurostat regarding Primary Energy Consumption (PEC) and Final Energy Consumption (FEC) in the period of 2020-2030. This reporting obligation comes from the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex IV).
Steroid hormones are essential in orchestrating oocyte maturation, i.e. estrogens of follicular origin support the development of the female gamete and fertilization. In this project the concentration of free and conjugated estrogens during follicular development will be analysed and compared to local concentrations in the developing follicle. Cattle are suitable animal models because of the accessibility and suitability for frequent examination and sampling. Furthermore, it has been useful for understanding several features of human reproduction including follicular dynamics, the fate of the emerging follicles is orchestrated mainly by gonadotropins and steroid hormones in a similar manner. Ovarian SULT1E1 participates locally in the regulation of follicular estrogen activity. The ESTcatalysed down-regulation of estrogen activity enables normal ovulation. Conversely, sulfoconjugated estrogens may also be precursors of the production of free estrogens depending on estrogen sulfatase (StS) acitivity. In mammals, follicular luteinisation/ovulation is triggered by a surge in LH and is characterised by numerous physical and biochemical changes, including the decreased production of estradiol (E2). This loss in E2 biosynthetic capacity has been explained by a marked decrease in the expression of key steroidogenic enzymes involved in the follicular production of active estrogens. However, little is known about the regulation of enzymes/proteins responsible for the inactivation and elimination of estrogens, as mediated for example by EST during this period.
DWD’s fully automatic MOSMIX product optimizes and interprets the forecast calculations of the NWP models ICON (DWD) and IFS (ECMWF), combines these and calculates statistically optimized weather forecasts in terms of point forecasts (PFCs). Thus, statistically corrected, updated forecasts for the next ten days are calculated for about 5400 locations around the world. Most forecasting locations are spread over Germany and Europe. MOSMIX forecasts (PFCs) include nearly all common meteorological parameters measured by weather stations.

These studies are continuing the work, which was carried out within a project of the German National Climate Research Programme of the German Ministry of Research and Technology (BMFT) - part Landsurface Climatology (1986-1990). In two research areas in a subpolar environment of Northern Sweden satellite data and meteorological models are used to study the energetic processes at the soil-vegetation-atmosphere-interface and to simulate with different scenarios the effect of a change of vegetation types (possible due to a global warming) on the energy budget. Another aspect is to use high-resolution satellite data for environmental monitoring of the subpolar birch forest. One location is near the Abisko Research Station of the Swedish Academy of Natural Sciences, the other is around the Tarfala Glaciological Research Station of the University of Stockholm.
Die landesweite Waldzustandserhebung wird jährlich im bundesweiten Stichprobennetz (16x16 km) und nach einer abgestimmten Methodik durchgeführt. In Thüringen wurde das Stichprobennetz auf 4x4 km verdichtet, um flächenrepräsentative Aussagen für die Hauptbaumarten zu erhalten. Ziel der Waldzustandserhebung ist die langfristige Überwachung des Waldzustandes unter dem Einfluss abiotischer Einflüsse (z.B. Klima/Witterung, Luftschadstoffe) und biotischer Faktoren (z.B. Insektenkalamitäten). Der jährliche Waldzustandsbericht für Thüringen ist unter www.tmil.info zu finden.
Das ODL-Messnetz des BfS überwacht mit rund 1.700 Messsonden rund um die Uhr die Strahlenbelastung durch natürliche Radioaktivität in der Umwelt. Das Messnetz hat eine wichtige Frühwarnfunktion, um erhöhte Strahlung durch radioaktive Stoffe in der Luft in Deutschland schnell zu erkennen. * [Informationen und Karte mit allen Messstationen](https://odlinfo.bfs.de/ODL/DE/themen/wo-stehen-die-sonden/karte/karte_node.html) * [Wichtige Hinweise zu den Daten - PDF](https://odlinfo.bfs.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/ODL/DE/datenbereitstellung.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=4)
