The book ‘Bestrijdingsmiddelen en Milieu' gives a transparent overview of facts and figures concerning pesticide use in the Netherlands and the impact of pesticides on the environment.

International trade has played a major role in defining the modern global economy. Trade, however, entangles the environmental pressures of economic sectors, giving the illusion of environmental improvements, while the opposite may be occurring.

Mycorrhizas are symbiotic associations between soil fungi and most plant species.

While ecosystems have concrete benefits for human society, these benefits are typically overlooked in decision-making.

This thesis investigates reactive interfaces in surface science across three domains: heterogeneous catalysis, environmental nanoplastics, and two-dimensional materials.

This thesis focuses on the social dimensions of crane and wetland conservation in rural landscapes in Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

As a non-invasive genetic method, eDNA based approaches have become an important component of ecologists' and environmental managers' toolkits for biomonitoring in conservation and an increasingly important source of ecological knowledge.

PNEC-pro is a user-friendly screening tool for professionals dealing with the assessment of surface water quality. The tool calculates local, watertype specific no-effect concentrations (PNEC) of copper, lead, nickel and zinc based on biotic ligand models (BLMs).

Marine sponges are important members of reef ecosystems, as they play ecological roles that are essential for the health of the reef.

This thesis describes the genetic and prokaryotic diversity of giant barrel sponges.

In this course, you will learn about sustainability and staying with the environmental boundaries of our planet. You will gain an understanding of the effects of growing affluence and population growth, the key challenges we are facing, and ways to influence your direct environment.

In 2013-2014, CML published over 100 papers, contributed to various international sustainability debates, renovated our building and educated thousands of students from all over the world through our MOOC. These accomplishments and many more are highlighted in this booklet, CML wish you a pleasant…

Welke kleding kun je het beste kopen als je aan het milieu wilt denken? Die vraag is nog niet zo makkelijk te beantwoorden. Je moet namelijk rekening houden met de hele levenscyclus van een kledingstuk: van productie tot het moment dat we het de deur uit doen. In de rubriek 'What's better?' van radioprogramma…

This thesis aimed to investigate the impact of exposure dynamics, relative contributions of ENPs(particle) and ENPs(ion), and dosing regimens on the toxicity of ENPs varying in different physico-chemical properties, on the composition and functioning of soil microbial communities.

Bacteria often experience external challenges, such as changes in environmental conditions or attacks by bacteriophages.

Fate and toxicity of copper nanoparticles was related to the water chemistry of the environment and pristine size.
