Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

This conference report contains the lectures presented at the BMBF status seminar on the cooperative project ``Bodies of landfills``, which took place at Wuppertal on 25th and 26th April 1995. The cooperative project was started in autumn 1993 and studies the long-term behaviour of wastes deposited at landfills in general. Inorganic and municipal wastes are studied separately. (orig./SR) [Deutsch] Der vorliegende Tagungsband enthaelt die Vortraege des BMBF-Statusseminars zum Verbundvorhaben `Deponiekoerper` vom 25. und 26. April 1995 in Wuppertal. Das Verbundvorhaben `Deponiekoerper` wurde im Herbst 1993 begonnen und befasst sich ganz generell mit dem langfristigen Deponieverhalten von Abfaellen. Es ist unterteilt in die Untersuchung von anorganischen Abfaellen und von Siedlungsabfaellen. (orig./SR)

Results of a cross-sectional study on the association of electromagnetic fields emitted from mobile phone base stations and health complaints; Ergebnisse einer Querschnittsstudie zum Zusammenhang von elektromagnetischen Feldern von Mobilfunksendeanlagen und unspezifischen gesundheitlichen Beschwerden  

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

Background: Despite the fact that adverse health effects are not confirmed for exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RFEMF) levels below the limit values, as defined in the guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, many persons are worried about possible adverse health effects caused by the RF-EMF emitted from mobile phone base stations, or they attribute their unspecific health complaints like headache or sleep disturbances to these fields. Method: In the framework of a cross-sectional study a questionnaire was sent to 4150 persons living in predominantly urban areas. Participants were asked whether base stations affected their health. Health complaints were measured with standardized health questionnaires for sleep disturbances, headache, health complaints and mental and physical health. 3,526 persons responded (85%) to the questionnaire and 1,808 (51%) agreed to dosimetric measurements in their flats. Exposure was measured in 1,500 ...

TA project 'Elements of a strategy for sustainable development in the energy sector'. Preliminary study; TA-Projekt 'Elemente einer Strategie fuer eine nachhaltige Energieversorgung'. Vorstudie  

Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)

The issue of projecting policies ensuring appropriate energy supply in the future has become more important in Germany after conclusion of the agreement on a long-term nuclear power phase-out. A recent comparative analysis of a selection of scientific studies forecasting the implications of a nuclear power phase-out has shown that there is demand for more studies examining the issue in greater detail, and on the basis of an enlarged scope of research topics. Hence the present study, intended as a preliminary analysis, will investigate the potential, conditions of successful application, conceivable support schemes, and effects of those policy options that in any case, apart from the nuclear power phase-out scenario, are of essential importance in the context of building the proper conditions for sustainable development of Germany's energy sector. The options and strategies examined are: stepping up energy efficiency programmes and incentives, enhancing exploitation of the ...
