Uranium in the Environment
This book presents the results from the Uranium Mining and Hydrogeology Congress held in September 2005, in Freiberg, Germany. It addresses scientists and engineers involved in the areas of uranium mining and milling sites, clean-up measures, emissions of nuclear power plants and radioactive waste disposal, as well as political decision-makers. The topics covered are: impact on groundwater from radionuclide emission, analytical specification techniques, chemical toxicity, radioisotope plant uptake, microbiology, geochemical and reactive transport, case studies on active and abandoned uranium mines and milling sites, long-term storage of radioactive waste, passive in situ treatment techniques and risk assessment studies. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all papers in colour.
Uranium in the Environment
Uranium is an element to be found ubiquitous in rock, soil, and water. Uranium concentrations in natural ground water can be more than several hundreds ug/l without impact from mining, nuclear industry, and fertilizers. Considering the WHO recommendation for drinking water of 15 ug/l (has been as low as 2 ug/l before) due to the chemical toxicity of uranium the element uranium has become an important issue in environmental research. Besides natural enrichment of uranium in aquifers uranium mining and milling activities, further uranium processing to nuclear fuel, emissions form burning coal and oil, and the application of uranium containing phosphate fertilizers may enrich the natural uraniu...
Uranium, Mining and Hydrogeology
Subject of the book is Uranium and its migration in aquatic environments. The following subjects are emphasised: Uranium mining, Phosphate mining, mine closure and remediation, Uranium in groundwater and in bedrock, biogeochemistry of Uranium, environmental behavior, and modeling. Particular results from the leading edge of international research are presented.

Exposure and Risk Assessment of Chemical Pollution - Contemporary Methodology
The book contains the contributions at the NATO Study Institute on Exposure and Risk Assessment of Chemical Pollution – Contemporary Methodology, which took place in Sofia – Borovetz, Bulgaria, July 1–10, 2008. Rapid advances in mathematics, computer science and molecular biology and chemistry have lead to the development in of a new branch of toxicology called Computational Toxicology. This emerging field is addressing the estimation and prediction of exposure risk and effects of chemicals based on experimental data, measured concentration and biological mechanisms and computational models of biological systems. Mathematical models are also being used to predict the fate and transport...

Bergbau und Umwelt in DDR und BRD
Der Sammelband geht zurück auf den ersten Workshop des vom BMBF geförderten Forschungsverbundes „Umweltpolitik, Bergbau und Rekultivierung im deutsch-deutschen Vergleich. Das Niederlausitzer Braunkohlenrevier, das Ruhrgebiet und die Wismut (1949–1989/2000)". Die versammelten Beiträge untersuchen die jeweiligen Praktiken der Rekultivierung in den genannten Revieren und binden diese an staatliche Umweltpolitiken zurück. Der gewählte deutsch-deutsche Vergleich lässt dabei umwelthistorische Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede in der BRD und DDR erkennen. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auch dem Verwissenschaftlichungsprozess der Rekultivierung geschenkt, der nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs in beiden deutschen Staaten einsetzte. Ergänzend finden sich Abhandlungen, die sich der oral history des Uranerzbergbaus der Wismut, der einbettenden Umweltgeschichte der DDR und methodischer Reflexionen widmen.
