At abandoned waste sites and chemical spill sites organic pollutants represent the main contaminant for soil and ground water. One crucial difference regarding the impact sources is the water solubility; contaminants might be dissolved in water or present in phases (dense nonaqueous phase liquid, DNAPL or light non-aqueous phase liquid, LNAPL).
Until recently, no measuring method was available, which clearly distinguished between these two conditions. Even the neutron-neutron logging, established in the fields of well examination or exploration of deposits, was insufficient because of the limited radiation sources. The results of this research project was the successful application of the newly developed impulse neutron-neutron logging for the detection of dissolved pollutants and pollutants present in phases, such as BTEX, mineral oils and volatile halogenated hydrocarbons. The depth dependent measurements in conjunction with the instant graphical evaluation enabled a flexible and efficient phase and plume investigation and monitoring. The measurements require an inner diameter of approximately 40 mm of the well or canal. For the first time, BTEX, mineral oils, and volatile halogenated hydrocarbons, which are present in complex contaminations, can be detected as dissolved in water or being present in phase.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
