Working Group Soil

The Working Group Soil of the GDCh Division of Environmental Chemistry & Ecotoxicology conveys relevant scientific findings and practical experience to legislative bodies.

Conversely, he also offers assistance and initiates scientific research with questions from higher-level bodies.

The working group will begin its work with the topic of the future assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil , in particular with the current amendment proposal, which is currently being discussed very controversially. This will also include consideration of substances beyond the 16 EPA PAHs and PAH transformation products, which have received less attention to date.
