Institute of Energy Economics and the Rational Use of Energy University of Stuttgart 2 Aim: Provision of information, that can contribute to the development of a strategy for reducing the occurrence of heavy metals in the environment in Europe. This strategy should be effective efficient Europe-wide and should make use of the state-of-the-art in integrated assessment modelling.

Institute of Energy Economics and the Rational Use of Energy University of Stuttgart 4 Approach The approach consists of the following steps: 1.Consolidate, improve and provide European wide emission data of heavy metals (Hg, Cd, Pb, Ni, As and Cr) 2.Collect systematic data on the possibilities to reduce emissions. 3.Improve models for the transport of HM in the atmosphere, soil and water and apply them to simulate the transport of HM in these media; modeling results will be evaluated vs. measurement data. 4.Collect data on thresholds and information on exposure–response relationships. 5.Estimate the willingness-to-pay to avoid damage from HM exposure by transferring values from available contingent valuation studies. 6.Set up an integrated assessment model (IAM). 7.Carry out runs of the IAM to identify cost effectiveness strategies, i.e. bundles of measures that achieve compliance with thresholds and cost-benefit analyses to identify bundles of measures, where the difference between benefits and costs is maximised. 8.Conduct a feasibility study to identify approaches and further research needs for macro-economic assessment of HM abatement strategies.

Institute of Energy Economics and the Rational Use of Energy University of Stuttgart 14 Inventories of HM releases to soil Due to limitation of AROMIS: different inventories necessary Inventory directly derived from AROMIS –Explicitly Reported Values (ERV) 11 countries Derived inventories for the whole of the geographical scope –Relate flows [mass/time] to activity indicator per input category –Identify activity-specific minimum and maximum flows –Apply these flows to the other countries according to their respective activities Inventories –Minimum pan-European Emission (MinEE) –Maximum pan-European Emission (MaxEE) Inputs to soil

Institute of Energy Economics and the Rational Use of Energy University of Stuttgart 17 HM into soils: conclusions Total amounts from 40 countries for MinEE and MaxEE inventories –At least as much as for air –Presumably more relevant for human health due to direct application to soils –Difference in bioavailability between atmospheric and agricultural inputs? Pan-European emission inventories based on rough assumptions The data situation on HM releases to soil is poor Input-related activity data are currently lacking –E.g., some mineral fertilisers, organic fertilisers, pesticides, and sewage sludge Inputs to soil
