Titelbeschreibung

Refractory organic substances (ROS) are an essential part of the biogeochemical carbon cycle. Wherever there is life on earth, there will also be ROS in the form of poorly biodegradable leftovers of organisms and as a source for new life. Furthermore, it is now beyond doubt that ROS are closely related to the carbon intensity identified as one of the driving forces in the dynamics of green house gas emission, such that ROS play a key role in sustainable development. 'Refractory Organic Substances in the Environment' provides the results of six years of top-priority research, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). This research program investigated the structure and function of ROS in different parts of the environment, from a chemical, physical, biological, and soil scientific point of view. It included the first systematic study of a set of reference samples from Central Europe, originating from a bog lake, soil seepage water, groundwater, and from the wastewaters of a brown coal processing plant and a secondary effluent. Thus, this work not only highlights the structural features obtained from the application of advanced analytical tools, but also the function in anthropogenically influenced aquatic systems and soils. Of special interest to students and researchers in life sciences.

Unpublished endorsement

"The proposed organization of subject matter is interesting and unique. Some of the proposed chapter titles sound absolutely fascinating. —R. Christman, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill NC, USA "Prof. Frimmel is highly considered in the humic substances research field. Several strong scientists are contributing." —J. P. Crou, Zoitiers, France "This book represents a basic and fundamental report concerning the general and particular aspects on refractory organic substances isolation and analysis technique. It is the most important collection of scientific reports and an encouraging platform for young scientists who wish to devote their careers to addressing the many fascinating and unanswered questions about the properties and roles of refractory organic substances in the environment." —Carmen Zaharia, Department of Environmental Engineering, "Gh. Asachi" Technical University of Iasi, Romania, Environmental Engineering and Management Journal, March 2004
