Levels and spatial distribution of persistent organic pollutants in the environment: a case study of German forest soils.
TL;DR: These results generally reflect the distribution of POPs in densely populated and industrialized countries located in temperate regions, supported by the absence of clear dependencies between POP concentrations and most evaluated environmental and local parameters.

Regionalized concentrations and fingerprints of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in German forest soils.
TL;DR: The results suggest that PAHs are more likely originated from local and regional emitters rather than from long-range transport and that specific source-regions can be identified based on PAH fingerprints.

The fingerprints of dioxin-like bromocarbazoles and chlorocarbazoles in selected forest soils in Germany.
John Mumbo,John Mumbo,Marchela Pandelova,Florian Mertes,Bernhard Henkelmann,Bernd M. Bussian,Karl-Werner Schramm +6 more
TL;DR: Bromocarbazoles and chlorocarbzoles are emerging dioxin-like toxic environmental contaminants with potential for wide distribution occurring simultaneously with PCDD/Fs and PCBs and caused induction of CYP1A1-dependent EROD activity in HII4E rat hepatoma cell line.

Persistent endosulfan sulfate is found with highest abundance among endosulfan I, II, and sulfate in German forest soils
Bernd M. Bussian,Marchela Pandelova,Petra Lehnik-Habrink,Bernhard Aichner,Bernhard Henkelmann,Karl-Werner Schramm +5 more
TL;DR: The study shows for 76 sampling locations in German forests that endosulfan is abundant in all samples with an opposite ratio between the ESI and ESII than the technical product, where the main metabolite ESS is found with even higher abundance.

Certification of the European reference soil set (IRMM-443--EUROSOILS). Part I. Adsorption coefficients for atrazine, 2,4-D and lindane.
B. M. Gawlik,A. Lamberty,J. Pauwels,Winfried E. H. Blum,Axel Mentler,Bernd M. Bussian,O. Eklo,K. Fox,Werner Kördel,D. Hennecke,T. Maurer,C. Perrin-Ganier,J. Pflugmacher,E. Romero-Taboada,G. Szabo,H. Muntau +15 more
TL;DR: The underlying principles for the value assignment process according to the GUM and their practical application to the numerical data obtained during the certification exercise according to ISO Guide 34 and 35 are discussed.
