Decision support for diffuse pollution management

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2012
The effort to manage diffuse pollution at the catchment scale is an ongoing challenge that needs to take into account trade-offs between environmental and economic objectives. Best Management Practices (BMPs) are gaining ground as a means to address the problem, but their application (and impact) is highly dependant on the characteristics of the crops ...

Diffuse atrazine pollution in German aquifers

Biodegradation, 2002
Until its prohibition in Germany in 1991, atrazine was the most frequently applied herbicide in maize cultivation. Moreover, it was used in orchards and vineyards and as a total herbicide on non-cultivated grounds (railways, factory grounds). Later on, atrazine was substituted mainly by terbutylazine.

Enhanced diffusion of pollutants by self-propulsion

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2011
Current environmental models mostly account for the passive participation of pollutants in their environmental propagation. Here we demonstrate the paradigm-changing concept that pollutants can propagate themselves with a rate that is greater than the rate for standard molecular diffusion by five orders of magnitude.

Pollution by Diffusive Processes

1973
The most serious types of pollution are those following the release of the pollutant from points within or on the boundary of a gaseous or liquid medium. The problems to be considered in this paper relate to the determination of the distribution of the pollutant within the medium and along the boundary of the medium.

Diffusion of Pollution Prevention Policy

The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 1999
Prevention is growing in importance as a method of reducing industrial pollution, though it is by no means easy to do. Diffusion of the prevention approach may be enhanced by increasing the risks associated with doing nothing or sticking to control technologies, while providing settings where trust can grow.

Natural Wetlands Treating Diffuse Pollution

2006
This chapter presents a case study to assess the temporal and spatial hydraulic and biochemical functioning of groundwater-fed ditch ecosystems and their contribution to the overall catchment and particularly nutrient dynamics of a riparian peatland located in the River Eider Valley.
