Integrated Environmental Monitoring | Umweltbundesamt

Due to global environmental changes the environmental risks are increasing and leading to higher demands on environmental monitoring.This requires the development of guidelines to evaluate the environmental changes monitored. Besides the criterion »human health«, i.e. the physical and mental well-being of humans, the resource »natural balance« has gained increasing importance recently, since the natural balance is affected by both local impacts and the effects of  »global change«.
