This project describes the distribution of chemicals in the ocean with respect to the development of an assessment concept specific for the marine environment. Temperature, pH, suspended particles and other physico-chemical factors, as well as low concentrations of chemicals and low densities of the micro-organisms in the ocean have an inhibiting i...

Already in 1986 a contract was signed for a scientific-technical co-operation between the Russian Federation (former USSR) and the Federal Republic of Germany. Based on this contract, the Oka-Elbe Project was launched in Nizhniy Novgorod in 1992. Due to the excellent results obtained until 1995, the project was prolongated as Oka-Elbe Project (part...

Between 1997 and 1999 three field surveys in the Volga River and in its three most important tributaries: Kama, Oka and Sura were carried out to investigate the distribution of inorganic and organic pollutants in the river sediments. The investigations were planned as a part of a 'Pre-Phase' of a larger Russian-German 'Volga-Rhein-Project' to follo...

Heavy metal transport transmitted by natural colloidal particles was investigated to assess its relevance for the retention capacity of natural geological barriers in the subsurface of landfills. Latest analytical tools based on field-flow-fractionation were used to overcome known deficiencies in the analysis of natural colloids for which methods w...
