Der Einfluß des Menschen auf die geochemischen Kreisläufe in der Atmosphäre

Abstract

Modern technology has introduced a great number of new substances in the natural geochemical cycles and additionally changed the course of existing cycles. The present link between the various systems of the geosphere (land, sea, atmosphere) requires a comprehensive understanding of these interactions. This report attempts to evaluate the natural and material fluxes and the ones introduced by man. The problem concerning in particular the importance of the atmosphere as a medium of transportation and the relationship existing between an atmospheric load by industrial production wastes and the corresponding water contamination is being examined.
