Jedynska, A.D. (author), Tromp, P.C. (author), Houtzager, M.M.G. (author), Kooter, I.M. (author)Use of biodiesel is increasing following implementation of various policy instruments and a surge in demand due to growing urbanized populations. A series of experiments to characterize the chemical composition of emissions generated during combustion of petro-diesel (B0), biodiesel blends (B5, B10, B20), biodiesel (B100) and pure plant oil were...article 2015

Havermans, J.B.G.A. (author), Dekker, R. (author), Sportel, R. (author)One of the most previous conservation treatments for plant specimen in herbarium collections was mercuric chloride (HgCl2). However, due time HgCl2 may decompose and it may cause (metallic) mercury (Hg) emission. Hg vapour in indoor air should be avoided as mercury poisoning can already occur at levels of 6 μg/m3. Both field and laboratory...article 2015

Donovan, D.P. (author), Klein Baltink, H. (author), Henzing, J.S. (author), de Roode, S.R. (author), Siebesma, A.P. (author)The fact that polarisation lidars measure a depolarisation signal in liquid clouds due to the occurrence of multiple scattering is well known. The degree of measured depolarisation depends on the lidar characteristics (e.g. wavelength and receiver field of view) as well as the cloud macrophysical (e.g. cloud-base altitude) and microphysical (e.g...article 2015

(author)In het voorjaar van 2014 zijn hoge concentraties fijnstof waargenomen en meldden veel mensen last van hun luchtwegen. In België is van tevoren gewaarschuwd voor de hoge concentraties, in Nederland niet omdat de smogregeling in Nederland anders is dan in België. Over deze situatie is debat gevoerd in de Tweede Kamer.
