East Central Europe: an environment in transition

Article Abstract:

The dramatic political and economic changes that swept the countries of the East Central Europe in the early 90s have also caused a remarkable improvement in the environment of this highly polluted region. The opening up of the economies of the region have attracted multinational companies which set up modern plants and environmental control facilities. It may take years and massive foreign investments before the region can completely clean up its environment. However, a growing economy could at least ensure a phase cleanup and multistage upgrading of pollution control facilities.

Effect of two electron acceptors on atrazine mineralization rates in soil

Article Abstract:

The effect of soil profile level atrazine movement to anoxic zones on biotransformation rates and its subsequent persistence is studied. The mineralization rates of C-labeled atrazine in agricultural soil under oxygenated conditions and denitrifying conditions were compared. It was found that mineralization and transformation of atrazine and its metabolites will be greatly reduced with the transport of atrazine and its metabolites into the deeper soil and groundwater.
