15 Environmenf (pollution, health protecfion, safety) Criteria for indoor radon concentration -An experlmental study considering especially the Leipzig-Halle brown coal area
96100921
Joensson, G. et al., Radiat. Meas., 1995, 25, (l), 627-630. The project is supported by the EU-programme Human Capital and Mobility, and is intended to improve the understanding of the specific behaviour of radon gas. The research will focus on parameters or effects affecting radon concentration levels and their variation in buildings as a function of existing and previous variations of radon under the ground, in addition to the radon component from the building materials and environmental artificial radon sources coming from industrial processes like mining and metallurgy.

Deactivation behaviour of selective catalytic reduc96lOQ924 tion DeNO, catalysts. Basis for the development of a new generation of catalvsts &r&, k. &d gpitznagel, G. W. ACS Symp. Ser., 1995, (587), 42-55. Describes the development by Siemens Power Generation Group of a selective catalytic rediction DdNO, plate-type catalyst without using Japanese catalyst technology. This innovative development is particularly suitable for demanding applications with flue gases from slag tap furnaces containing high heavy-metal concentrations (e.g. arsenic oxides). A special feature of this catalyst is that the high SO, content in flue gases from combustion of S-rich fuel does not have any significant effect on DeNO, catalysis. 96100926

Emission of nitrogen compounds and NO., formation during blended coal combustion
96100936
Qiu, J. et al., Gongcheng Rewuli Xuebao, 1995, 16, (1), 115-118. (In Chinese) An experimental study on emission of nitrogen and NO formation during blended pulverized coal combustion has been carried out to find the NO,formation mechanism and diffemce from individual coal, in order to find the available methods to reduce NO, emission.

Environmental management in an internatlnal consumer goods company
96100641
White, P. R. et al., Resources, Conservation & Recycling, Sep. 1995, 14, (3), 171-184. Many management processes and tools can provide companies with information to support their environmental decision making. Risk assessment, environmental auditing, life cycle assessment and environmental reporting are but a few examples. Each of these has typically evolved independently as the need for it has arisen. Today, however, this abundance of tools can leadto confusion: What is the exact objective of each tool? How do the differ? Are some ‘better’ than others? Should they be used in paralle r, sequentially or in place of each other? More importantly, how do they fit together into a coherent environmental management framework that will ensure sound environmental and economic decision making in a company? The paper seeks to answer these questions. Describes the&era11 et&r&mental framework that has been developed internally within Procter & Gamble.
