Hulskotte, J.H.J. (author), Roskam, G.D. (author), Denier van der Gon, H.A.C. (author)Wear-related PM emissions are an important constituent of total PM emissions from road transport. Due to ongoing (further) exhaust emission reduction wear emissions may become the dominant PM source from road transport in the near future. The chemical composition of the wear emissions is crucial information to assess the potential health...article 2014

Visser, A. (author), Kroes, J. (author), van Vliet, M.T.H. (author), Blenkinsop, S. (author), Fowler, H.J. (author), Broers, H.P. (author)The Keersop catchment (43 km2) in the south of The Netherlands has been contaminated by the emissions of four zinc ore smelters. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of future projected climate change on the hydrology and the leaching of heavy metals (i.e. Cd and Zn) in the catchment. The numerical, quasi-2D, unsaturated zone...article 2012

Pulles, M.P.J. (author), Denier van der Gon, H.A.C. (author), Appelman, W.A.J. (author), Verheul, M. (author)Abstract: Heavy metals constitute an important group of persistent toxic pollutants occurring in ambient air and other media. One of the suspected sources of these metals in the atmosphere is combustion of transport fuels in road vehicles. However estimates of the emissions of these metals from road vehicles as reported in national emission...article 2012

Vink, J.P.M. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)The speciation of heavy metals was measured over a variety of natural and undisturbed water/sediment interfaces. Simultaneously, two benthic species (oligochaete Limnodrilus spp. and the midge Chironomus riparius) were exposed to these sediments. Under occurring redox conditions, free ion activities of trace metals Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were...article 2009

van der Grift, B. (author), Griffioen, J. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Historic emissions from ore smelters typically cause regional soil contamination. We developed a modelling approach to assess the impact of such contamination on groundwater and surface water load, coupling unsaturated zone leaching modelling with 3D groundwater transport modelling. Both historic and predictive modelling were performed, using a...article 2008

Leeman, W.R. (author), van den Berg, K.J. (author), Houben, G.F. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)The human risk assessment of feed contaminants has often been hampered by a lack of knowledge concerning their behaviour when consumed by livestock. To gain a better understanding of the transfer of contaminants from animal feed to animal products, a meta-analysis of public literature was made. Data concerning feed contaminant concentrations,...article 2007

van Helvoort, P.J. (author), Griffioen, J. (author), Hartog, N. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Large groundwater resources are found in densely populated lowland areas, which consist often of young unconsolidated and reduced sediments. When anthropogenic activities lead to oxygenation of the aquifer, breakdown of the main reduced fractions, i.e. sedimentary organic matter (SOM) and pyrite, could lead to severe groundwater deterioration...article 2007

(author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)Over the years several types of biocide-free antifouling paints have entered the market. The prohibition of biocidal antifouling paints in special areas of some European countries such as Sweden, Denmark and Germany has favoured the introduction of these paints to the market. Several types of biocide-free antifouling paints were subjected to...article 2005

Breur, H.J.A. (author), de Wit, J.H.W. (author), van Turnhout, J. (author), Ferrari, G.M. (author), TNO Industrie (author)Phosphating is the most commonly applied pre-treatment process. However, some disadvantages exist: heavy metals and phosphoric acid are used in the process. Volkland et al. developed a process, in which these compounds can be left out, using bacteria to activate the phosphating process. This paper addresses the analysis of this phosphating...article 2002
