Rapporten indeholder en vurdering af hvor mange forurenede grunde, som vil udgøre en potentiel risiko for at forurene recipienter, som er omfattet af vandrammedirektivet. Endvidere estimeres de økonomiske konsekvenser, som vil være forbundet med d...

The abundance of applied microbial pest control agents (MPCAs) and their metabolites were compared to that of the natural microbiota on field grown strawberries. Microbial communities on berries were complex including potential plant pathogens, op...

Several microbial pest control agents might be able to cause diseases, as e.g  diarrhea.  It is therefore necessary to have appropriate experimental tools (models) to investigate the potential for pathogenicity.  In this project has three differen...

The present report contains a number of test cases calculated by the joint Nordic train noise calculation method Nord2000. The purpose of the test cases is to provide a basis for testing software developed according to the new Nordic model includi...
