5.4 Register of substances

5.4.1 Table: Chemical substances of environmental relevance arranged according to selected laws and guidelines; also, list of information sheets in register of substances

5.4.2 Index to register of substances with most important common names and synonyms

5.4.3 Explanatory notes (description of content of information sheets)

5.4.4 Information sheets arranged according to chemical substances and groups of substances - in alphabetical order

5.4.1 Table: Chemical substances of environmental relevance arranged according to selected laws and guidelines; also, list of information sheets in register of substances

Notes:

The following table is based on:

- the EC Water Protection Directive 76/464/EEC (1982),
- the Soil Conservation Concept of the Federal Government (1986/87) and
- the Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control TA-Luft (1986).

All the substances addressed by these legal provisions were incorporated into the list. They represent the basis for substance selection. An indication is also given of whether these substances are contained in the:

- catalogue of substances hazardous to water (1987)
- MAK list (1989).

The MAK list and the catalogue of substances hazardous to water both encompass some 550 substances which were only incorporated into the table if they are listed in the EC Water Protection Directive, the Soil Conservation Concept or the Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control TA-Luft.

Consistent alphabetical arrangement of the substances in line with chemical/systematic rules as used by WAGNER (1989) is likewise appropriate to a compilation of this size for reasons of clarity and comprehension. This is made all the more important by the fact that the headings to the information sheets sometimes employ more common substance names to make the register easier to deal with. The following table outlines these designations (with * in parentheses) after the systematic substance names.

The numbers at the top of the various columns have the following significance:

Column 2 = EC Water Protection Directive 76/464/EEC (1982)
Column 3 = Catalogue of Substances Hazardous to Water (1987)
Column 4 = Soil Conservation Concept of the German Federal Government (1986/87)
Column 5 = TA-Luft (1986)
Column 6 = List of MAK values (1989)
Column "register of substances" = Information sheet in catalogue section "chem. substances: register of substances"

For the most part, the data were taken from WAGNER (1989).

The substance list in the Soil Conservation Concept was produced by resolving the substance groups in line with chemical practice and environmental presence. Radionuclides were not considered (see WAGNER, 1989).

The substances are arranged alphabetically according to their chemical/systematic names.

Common names in standard usage are marked with an * in parentheses.
