Die Umweltprobenbank des Bundes (UPB) mit ihren Bereichen Bank für Umweltproben und Bank für Humanproben ist eine Daueraufgabe des Bundes unter der Gesamtverantwortung des Bundesumweltministeriums sowie der administrativen und fachlichen Koordinierung des Umweltbundesamtes. Es werden für die Bank für Umweltproben regelmäßig Tier- und Pflanzenproben aus repräsentativen Ökosystemen (marin, limnisch und terrestrisch) Deutschlands und darüber hinaus für die Bank für Humanproben im Rahmen einer Echtzeitanalyse Blut-, Urin-, Speichel- und Haarproben studentischer Kollektive gewonnen. Vor ihrer Einlagerung werden die Proben auf eine Vielzahl an umweltrelevanten Stoffen und Verbindungen (z.B. Schwermetalle, CKW und PAH) analysiert. Der eigentliche Wert der Umweltprobenbank besteht jedoch in der Archivierung der Proben. Sie werden chemisch veränderungsfrei (über Flüssigstickstoff) gelagert und somit können auch rückblickend Stoffe untersucht werden, die zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Einwirkung noch nicht bekannt oder analysierbar waren oder für nicht bedeutsam gehalten wurden. Alle im Betrieb der Umweltprobenbank anfallenden Daten und Informationen werden mit einem Datenbankmanagementsystem verwaltet und aufbereitet. Hierbei handelt es sich insbesondere um die biometrischen und analytischen Daten, das Schlüsselsystem der UPB, die Probenahmepläne, die Standardarbeitsanweisungen (SOP) zu Probenahme, Transport, Aufbereitung, Lagerung und Analytik und die Lagerbestandsdaten. Mit einem Geo-Informationssystem werden die Karten der Probenahmegebiete erstellt, mit denen perspektivisch eine Verknüpfung der analytischen Ergebnisse mit den biometrischen Daten sowie weiteren geoökologischen Daten (z.B. Daten der Flächennutzung, der Bodenökologie, der Klimatologie) erfolgen soll. Ausführliche Informationen und eine umfassende Datenrecherche sind unter www.umweltprobenbank.de abrufbar.
A compilation of 90,688 published radiometric dates for sedimentary rocks from the South American Andes and adjacent parts of South America have been tabulated for access by researchers via GEOROC Expert Datasets. The compilation exists as a spreadsheet for access via MS Excel, Google Sheets, and other spreadsheet applications. Initial igneous compilations were utilized in two publications by the author, Pilger (1981, 1984). The compilations have been added to in subsequent years with the metamorphic and sedimentary compilations separated in the last few years. Locations in latitude and longitude are largely taken from the original source, if provided, with UTM locations maintained and converted; in some cases, sample locations were digitized from electronic maps if coordinates were otherwise not available. Analytical results are not included to prevent the files from becoming too large. The existing compilation incorporates compilations by other workers in smaller regions of the Andes. References to original and compilation sources are included.
While I am updating reconstructions of the South American and Nazca/Farallon plates, incorporating recent studies in the three oceans, for comparison with the igneous dates for the past 80 m. y., it is hoped that the spreadsheets will be of value to other workers.
Reliability: In most cases the data have been copy/pasted from published or appendix tables. In a few cases, the location has been digitized from published maps; the (equatorial equidistant) maps were copied into Google Earth and positioned according to indicated coordinates, with locations digitized and copied/pasted into the spreadsheet. (It is possible that published maps are conventional Mercator-based, even if not so identified, rather than either equatorial equidistant or Universal Transverse Mercator; this can be a source of error in location. For UTMs, the errors should be minor.) Duplicates are largely recognized by equivalent IDs, dates, and uncertainties. Where primary sources have been accessed, duplicate data points in compilations are deleted. (Analytic data are NOT included.)
This compilation is part of a series. Companion compilations of radiometric dates from igneous and metamorphic rocks are available at https://doi.org/10.5880/digis.e.2023.005 and https://doi.org/10.5880/digis.e.2023.007, respectively.

Die europäische Initiative HBM4EU hat zum Ziel, die Datenlage zum Human-Biomonitoring in der EU anzugleichen und die gesundheitlichen Folgen der Schadstoffbelastung besser zu verstehen - durch Zusammenführung bereits vorhandener Daten und Durchführung gemeinsamer Studien. So sollen Informationen zum sicheren Chemikalienmanagement gewonnen werden, um die Gesundheit der Europäer zu schützen. Ziel des Vorhabens ist es, Substanzen der in der Initiative als prioritär benannten Stoffgruppen der aprotischen Lösungsmittel und UV-Filter in Humanproben aus GerES und der Umweltprobenbank des Bundes zu messen. Dadurch sollen Datenlücken für den europäischen Bereich geschlossen werden und länderübergreifende Studien und Auswertungen ermöglicht werden. Übergeordnetes Ziel des Vorhabens ist es, einen Beitrag zum Aufbau eines europäischen Systems des Human-Biomonitoring zu leisten, das langfristig der besseren Kontrolle und Unterstützung der Chemikalienregulierung in Europa dient.
