- Project
- Name
- Definition and application of ecological criteria and economic indicators for the impact study and cost determination of various types of pollution in the North Sea
- Description @en
- The project is designed to :
- develop economic and ecological criteria which can be applied to determine the costs of various kinds of marine pollution;
- develop mathematical equations which can be applied in economic submodels for the cost determination of environmental impacts.
Four cases of marine pollution are considered :
- discharge of dangerous chemical substances (black list);
- oil dumping;
- increasing concentration of faecal/pathogenic bacteria as a result of the direct discharges of waste water into coastal waters;
- eutrophication with resultant algal growth.
- Description @
- Het project heeft tot doel :
- het ontwikkelen van economische en ecologische criteria die aangewend kunnen worden voor de kostenbepaling van diverse types van mariene verontreiniging;
- het ontwikkelen van wiskundige vergelijkingen die aangewend kunnen worden in economische submodellen voor de kostenbepaling van milieu-impacten.
Vier gevallen van mariene verontreiniging worden in rekening genomen :
- lozing van gevaarlijke chemische stoffen (zwarte lijst);
- olielozingen;
- toenemende concentratie van fecale/pathogene bacteriƫn ten gevolge van de directe lozingen van afvalwaters in kustwateren;
- eutrofiƫring met als gevolg algenbloei.
