1 “Sediment management requires a solid mix of pragmatism and sound science” The actual discussion on the role of sediments in the European water legislation is a typical example, how the development of environmental policies mixes legal requirements with socio-economic aspects, issues of technical feasibility, and sci- 2 entific knowledge . In fact, the Sixth Environmental Action programme of 2001 has stipulated, namely, that “sound scientific knowledge and economic assessments, reliable and up-to-date environmental data and information, and the use of indi- tors will underpin the drawing up, implementation and evaluation of environmental 3 policy” . In the ten chapters of this book, a broad set of practical process knowledge is p- sented, comprising simulation techniques, laboratory and in-situ studies on the int- action between biological, chemical and hydrodynamic factors as well as models, for solving combined quality and quantity problems of riverine sediments. The und- lying research on various types of particulate matter, risk analyses and problem - lutions will also contribute to the implementation of the Soil Strategy and – in p- ticular – Marine Strategy Directive in Europe.

Ingenieurgeochemie nutzt die Kenntnis natürlicher Prozesse der Schadstoffverteilung aus umweltgeochemischen Untersuchungen für die Entwicklung und Erfolgskontrolle auf natürlichen Ressourcen basierender Entsorgungstechnologien. Der Schwerpunkt der darstellung liegt auf dem Verständnis der Wirkungsweise äußerer und innerer Barrierensysteme zur physikalischen Stabilisierung und chemischen Immobilisierung von Schadstoffen.Neue Beiträge zu Sickerwasserprognosen, zum Langzeitverhalten von Deponien, zur Stabilisierung von Bergbaualtlasten und zu Baggergut-Unterwasserdepots ergänzen das Buch in der zweiten Auflage. Mit Beispielen aus den Projekten und Studien KORA, RUBIN, SEDYMO, SIWAP (BMBF), AquaTerra (EU), Elbe (HPA) und Rhein (POR).

Sediments are increasingly recognized as both a carrier and a possible source of contaminants in aquatic systems, and they may also affect groundwater quality and agricultural products when disposed on land. Four aspects are covered reflecting the development of knowledge in particle-associated pollutants during the past twenty-five years: - the identification, surveillance, monitoring and control of sources and distribution of pollutants, - the evaluation of solid/solution relations of contaminants in surface waters, - the study of in-situ processes and mechanisms of pollutant transfer in various compartments of the aquatic ecosystems, - the assessment of the environmental impact of particle-bound contaminants, i.e. the development of sediment quality criteria. A final chapter focusses on practical aspects concerning contaminated sediments.

Dredged Material and Mine Tailings are two of the same thing once they are deposited on land: they must be safe-guarded, wash-out must be prevented, and they must be protected by a plantcover. This comprehensive two-volume treatise covers both important aspects of their management: Environmental Management of Solid Waste turns to the practical applications, such as prediction, restoration and management, while in Chemistry and Biology of Solid Waste the principles and assessment are scientifically studied and discussed. Previously, dredged material was a commodity, it could be sold as soil, e. g. to gardeners. In the meantime, dredged material from the North Sea (e.g. the Rotterdam or Amsterdam harbor) must be treated as hazardous waste. Many environmentalists, managers and companies do not know how to solve the inherent problems. This new work deals with the chemical, physical and biological principles; the biological and geochemical assessment; the prediction of effects and treatment; and finally, with restoration and revegetation. It is written by many leading scientists in the various fields, and will prove invaluable for managers and politicians who are concerned with the present environmental situation.

This preface is being written at a time of exceptional public interest in the North Sea, following media head lines on toxic algal blooms, the mass mortality of common seals, and concern over pollution levels. These headlines may suggest that pollution of the North Sea is a recent event. This is not the case. Although no data are available (methods simply did not exist), it is safe to assume that emission (both into air and water) of heavy metals already started to increase in the 19th cen tury. The growth of cities and introduction of sewer sys tems led to the discharge of raw sewage and sewage sludge. The introduction of man-made (xenobiotic) organ ic chemicals and their subsequent emission into the North Sea commenced before the second world war. The shallower and coastal areas of the North Sea receive the highest concentrations of these pollutants. Not unexpectedly, these areas - some Norwegian fjords, the Dutch coast, the German Bight - show signs of ecosystem deterioration and eutrophication. A certain percentage of the pollutants does not remain in the North Sea but is "exported" to the Atlantic. The North Sea therefore con tributes to the global input of pollutants to the world's oceans. The major part of the pollutants accumulate in the North Sea and are incorporated in the bottom sediments. Although they are "out of sight", they should not be "out of mind".

"Heavy Metals: Problems and Solutions" is divided into three sections dealing with basic geochemical processes, remediation and case studies. The basic geochemical processes are discussed with respect to mobility in the environment and impact as well as methods to derive guidelines for heavy metals. Remediation focuses on currently available methods to treat contaminated sediments and soils. In addition, it considers the concept of geochemical engineering for remediation of large areas contaminated by metals. A number of case studies of polluted sediments and soils and their environmental impact highlight the principles discussed in the first two sections.

Der Klassiker erscheint in der 9. Auflage mit einer Neufassung der wasserwirtschaftlichen Kapitel durch Stephan Köster und einer gründlichen Überarbeitung der übrigen Buchteile durch beide Autoren. Eine Verbreiterung der Basis und Vertiefung der Inhalte kennzeichnet das Werk. Neben den traditionellen Disziplinen Luft und Lärm, Boden und Altlasten sowie Abfall und Recycling wird den Querschnittsthemen „Energie- und Rohstoffeffizienz“ besondere Beachtung geschenkt. „Nachhaltigkeit“ (u.a. mit einem Gastbeitrag von Prof. Holger Rogall) bei der Umgestaltung der Versorgungssysteme von der kommunalen bis zur globalen Ebene bildet die Klammer zwischen Ökologie, Ökonomie und Technik im betrieblichen Umweltschutz, in der Wasserwirtschaft und in der Stoffwirtschaft.Das übergreifende Kernthema „Beste Verfügbare Techniken“ widmet sich besonders der Beachtung der Grundsätze des Nachhaltigen Wirtschaftens. Im Verlauf der „Energiewende“ hat sowohl das Thema „Ressourcenschutz“ als auch die „Kreislaufwirtschaft“ deutlich an Profil gewonnen und mit dem Begriff „Biomasse“ verbinden sich neben dem Aspekt „Erneuerbare Energien“ auch regionale und globale Ernährungsfragen.Neu verfasst wurden für diese 9. Auflage die Kapitel "Abwasser" und "Trinkwasser".Für Industrie, Behörden und Studierende bietet das Kompendium in bewährter Weise einen vollständigen Überblick über Grundlagen, Methoden und Vorschriften zum Technischen Umweltschutz einschließlich der ethischen, sozialen, rechtlichen und wirtschaftlichen Zusammenhänge.
