Introduction to the SANA-project (SANA: regeneration of the atmosphere above the new states of Germany — effects on forest ecosystems)

  • Chapter
Changes of Atmospheric Chemistry and Effects on Forest Ecosystems

Part of the book series: Nutrients in Ecosystems ((NECO,volume 3))

Abstract

Former East Germany was one of the countries in Europe which had extremely high emissions of pollutants. Energy production was mainly based on the use of soft coal. Power plants as well as industry lacked the necessary equipment for pollutant reduction. Thus in 1989, East Germany emitted in total 5.3 Mt of SO2 and 2.1 Mt of alkaline dusts, representing an average of 48.8 kg kn-2 and 19.0 kg km‒2, respectively (Finkbeiner et al., 1993). The emission per capita was 18-fold higher than in West Germany.
