  2. The Fraunhofer Gesellschaft The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is the leading organization for applied research in Europe. 80 research institutions, 57 of them institutes at 40 locations throughout Germany Branches in Europe, USA, Asia and in the Near East 15,000 employees Budget € 1.4 billion (>2/3 from research contracts).

  3. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in Germany 57 institutesat 40 locations Itzehoe Rostock Institutes Bremen Branches of Institutes, Research Institutions, Working Groups, Branch Labs and Application Centers Hannover Berlin Golm Teltow Braunschweig Paderborn Oberhausen Magdeburg Cottbus Dortmund Halle Leipzig Duisburg Schmallenberg Schkopau Dresden St. Augustin Aachen Jena Euskirchen Chemnitz Ilmenau Darmstadt Würzburg Kaiserslautern Erlangen St. Ingbert Nürnberg Saarbrücken Pfinztal Karlsruhe Freising Stuttgart München Freiburg Holzkirchen Efringen-Kirchen

  4. Facts and Figures of the Fraunhofer ISI Broadly based know-how Number of staff: 170(120 scientists) Clients Budget 2008: approx. € 16 million 280 research and consultancyprojects per year

  5. Emission inventories for surface waters in Germany 1995: First methodological approaches to creating a German inventory, visiting federal states and examining how data are processed in regional databases. The use of electronic systems varies strongly between the single states (UDIS). 1995: Point source inventory including major industries and municipal waste water plants, using information from federal states, International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine etc.

  6. Emission inventoriesforsurfacewaters in Germany • 2000: Inventory for N/P, heavy metals and AOX, subdivided into branches/sectors and main water bodies using the MONERIS/MORE model for information about diffuse sources. Compiling lists of the 10 major polluters for these substances, some are historical mines (from the Middle ages). Top 10 polluter of copper 2000

  7. Heavy metals from historical mines: Pollutant sources of the Erft t/a Burgfeyer Stollen domestic Zinc industral Nickel Source: Erft Verband

  8. Results for copper (2000)

  9. Material flow of copper: production, utilization and emissions to water and soil in Germany (2000)

  10. Fluxes for the NP / NPEO-use and resulting emissions for D (1999/2000)

  11. Substance flow of anthracene in Germany

  12. Emission inventories and SFA for surface waters • Increased importance of emissions from end-user products, e.g. lead emissions from fishing or diving. Use of substance flow analysis is needed to find the best emission reduction measure (SOCOPSE, COHIBA). • Timeline of uses: substances are banned, but found in water. • SFA are a good tool to get data particularly for products, but they are normally static (e. g. difficulties with PAH emissions: domestic heating in winter)

  13. Conclusions • Constructing emission balances are a prerequisite for an efficient combination of measures to reduce pollution in river basin management
