As early as 1905 the first results of studies of the plankton in the Rhine were published. Due to the long residence time of the water a real potamoplankton can develop and at the end of the Lower Rhine it reaches its highest density. The paper consists of two parts. At first an overview is given about the history of plankton studies in the Rhine. The second part is the presentation of results from a monitoring at the Lower Rhine from 1979 to 2004. First systematic studies started at the beginning of the 20th century at the beginning of pollution. Our studies started during a phase of recreation from extreme pollution and eutrophication. Samples were taken at four stations: Bad Honnef, km 640, entrance to North Rhine-Westphalia, Du¨ sseldorf, km 732, Duisburg, km 792 downstream large industrial effluents and big cities, Kleve-Bimmen, km 865 at the border to the Netherlands. -
Executive Summary
Chapter 5 – Quantification of Risk 5 Quantification of the Risk for the Port of Rotterdam 5.1 Introduction to the approach of risk quantification The risks that are going to be quantified in this report do not primarily concern environmental or human health issues, i.e. regarding the potential for adverse environmental effects to organisms or drinking water quality at the port of Rotterdam, but rather the additional costs caused by the fact, that exceeding the CTT could make it necessary to dispose the sediments in a contained depot rather than relocate them at the North Sea. The material from historical contaminated sites has to be resuspended and transported, before it will become an issue for the Port of Rotterdam in the above-mentioned respect. This can be a quite complex issue: Less contaminated sediment can cover the deeper deposits, but during stronger currents, deeper layers can be eroded as well. Sediment may be mobilized by erosion in still water zones, river banks and flood plains, and parts of the mobilized sediments can be contaminated with quite a large spectrum of concentrations of various contaminants (Chapter 1.2). Even surface sediments are sometimes highly contaminated as has been shown in chapter 4: a) There is still a consisting contaminant source that keeps the immissions at high levels. This can be either a primary source, such as industrial emissions like they have been observed for TBT and only recently stopped in the Lippe area (chapter 4) or it can be a secondary source, called historic contamination such as the HCB contaminated material in the High and Upper Rhine, which is intermittently transported downstream, mixing with and thus contaminating previously clean sediments on its way. -

Dear Reader, The anthropogenic climate change has reached North Rhine-Westphalia and its effects are explicitly noticed in nature and environment. Long-standing measurements show that the temperatures increase and intensity and distribution of precipitation change. This has consequences: Hence the growing seasons of domestic plants shift, waters and ground temperatures increase and especially in the cities and metropolitan areas it leads to an increased heat stress for the population during summer times. Therefore North Rhine-Westphalia – as the first state - has already developed a climate impact monitoring in 2011.
