In accordance with Article 7a of the WHG, the AbwV (Ordinance on Requirements for the Discharge of Wastewater into Waters - Wastewater Ordinance) has been divided into a general framework section, an annex (to Article 4) with analytical methods for parameter determination and sector-specific appendices, including requirements for 53 wastewater sectors [3], Minimum requirements to be stipulated when granting a permit to discharge wastewater are described, analysis and measurement techniques are specified in the annex and sector-specific requirements in the appendices refer to the analysis and measurement techniques specified in the annex. Article 4 of the AbwV, in conjunction with the annex, lists the analysis and measurement procedures that are to be used to determine the parameters defined in the appendices. Paragraph 2 emphasises that for individual cases other equivalent procedures may be required if compliance with the requirements specified in the ordinance is to be ensured [9]. All analysis and determination procedures are standardised methods (DIN, CEN, ISO). 

The general structure of the sector-specific appendices for the AbwV is  

Analysis and measurement procedures (annex to Article 3) are identical to those listed in the annex to Article 4 of the AbwV.

The safety of androgen therapy for cardiovascular and prostatic disease is uncertain. Kraus, after a careful review of the literature from a German perspective, has pointed out that androgen substitution must be approached with caution even if the hazards are dubious, the need for such treatment is even more doubtful .The lack of clear hazards from testosterone substitution in the aging male does not indicate unrestricted treatment safety. Until all doubts are cleared, each treatment should be carefully documented and monitored (23).

There are many reasons why communicating risk and uncertainty to stakeholders and participants is critical to an informed assessment but 3 are, perhaps, most fundamental. First, participants (especially stakeholders with expertise in topics germane to probabilistic risk assessment or a particular assessment), if given opportunities to interact with practitioners, can contribute information and perspectives that could help focus and... 

But to retain the proper perspective here, let s remember that chlorination is probably the most important public health measure in the history of the world. Chlorine was first used to disinfect water at Maidstone, England, in 1897, during an outbreak of typhoid fever. People had known about the pale green gas since 1774, when the German scientist Scheele generated it by treating salt (sodium chloride) with sulfuric acid and man-... 

Dairy foods present a unique opportunity from a nutrigenomics perspective, given the nature of mammalian milk as a complete source of nutrition which has been adapted over time to meet the needs of particular animals (German, 2009). The potential for dairy products to prevent DNA damage was reported by Fenech et ah (2005), who identified a reduced... 

The historical development of the steroid industry summarized, albeit briefly, in this excursion provides perspective both on the medical importance of steroids and on the astonishing contributions made by scientists and engineers of many disciplines, from many countries, which led to today s industry worth many billions of dollars a year. Tragically, World War II prevented German and Swiss chemists from making greater contributions to this industry. 

These writings seem to have broken a spell that has paralyzed German historiography for more than 50 years and prevented historians from fulfilling their foremost duty, namely to subject their sources to critical analysis. All in all, therefore, and speaking not only from an academic perspective, Reemtsma s exhibition has turned out to be a disaster that would be hard to surpass.
