In-situ soil moisture and -temperature time series measurements during SwabianMOSES campaign 2023

As part of the hydro-meteorological measurement campaign SwabianMOSES 2023 time-domain transmission soil moisture sensors and temperature sensors with custom-made logger systems were used to measure time series of these soil state variables. The aim of these investigations was to provide data on physical soil properties used in a cross-disciplinary approach for a better understanding of hydro-meteorological extremes (such as high precipitation events and droughts). Each measurement site consisted of sensors at three depths with two sensors each. Logger systems were installed at six different observation sites which were distributed across the whole campaign target area in the vicinity of the Swabian Jura in Germany. Decisions on the specific installation depths were made during the installation at the respective sites based on the constitution of the local soil profiles. Installation protocols with a brief soil profile description and photos are part of this dataset. The dataset contains the values of location and time (UTC), soil temperature (in °C), relative permittivity and soil moisture (in % vol) derived from permittivity. Determination of soil moisture was done using the formula of Topp et al. (1980). As sensors, the SMT100 soil moisture sensor with integrated temperature measurement were used. All sensors were installed within the upper 50cm below ground. The exact depths for each sensor are listed in the comments.

In-situ soil moisture and -temperature time series, point measurements and cosmic-ray neutron rover surveys during SwabianMOSES campaign 2023

As part of the hydro-meteorological measurement campaign SwabianMOSES 2023 time-domain transmission (TDT) soil moisture sensors and temperature sensors with custom-made logger systems were used to measure time series of these soil state variables. In addition, a stationary cosmic-ray neutron sensor was deployed at the KITcube site near Villingen-Schwenningen to provide continuous soil moisture data for an area of between 10 and 20 hectares. For mapping the spatial distribution of soil moisture, several mobile CRNS campaigns have been conducted with a car across the Lindach catchment and beyond before and after prospective rain events. During these mobile CRNS measurements, in-situ soil moisture measurements were conducted, using a handheld time-domain reflectometry soil moisture sensor. The aim of these investigations was to provide data on physical soil properties used in a cross-disciplinary approach for a better understanding of hydro-meteorological extremes (such as high precipitation events and droughts). Regarding the TDT-sensors, each measurement site consisted of sensors at three depths with two sensors each. Logger systems were installed at six different observation sites which were distributed across the whole campaign target area in the vicinity of the Swabian Jura in Germany. Decisions on the specific installation depths were made during the installation at the respective sites based on the constitution of the local soil profiles.

Chemical analysis of explosive chemicals in water, sediments, and mussels (Mytilus spp.) from three shipwrecks from World War I and II in the North Sea

This dataset contains the results of chemical analyses of water, sediment, and marine bivalves (Mytilus spp.) for residues of submerged munitions, which were taken during various field excursions to three wrecks from the First and Second World Wars in the North Sea: KW58 (Belgium), SMS Mainz (Germany), and UC30. Water and sediments were collected using CTD rosette water samplers and Van Veen sediment grabs (SMS Mainz), or by divers (KW58 and UC30). The mussels for mussel monitoring were collected near the island of Sylt (Germany) and exposed in cages on the wrecks for several weeks. Samples were frozen immediately on board and transferred to the lab for examination. All samples were analyzed for the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and its two primary metabolites, 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene and 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene, using gas chromatography tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS).

Contamination of dab (Limanda limanda) with explosive chemicals leaking from marine dumped munition

Conventional munition dumped into the North Sea and the Baltic Sea close to the German coastline is corroding. A major concern is that biota, including fish, take up toxic explosives leaking into marine environments. With the present study, we investigated bile fluids of fish living in close proximity to munition dumping sites for the explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), its metabolites 2-amino-4,6-dinitrolouene and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrolouene as well as octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) using HPLC-MS/MS (high performance liquid chromatography with mass selective detection) as device. The flat fish species common dab (Limanda limanda) was used as a model, since it lives in the vicinity of dumping sites and exhibits minor migratory activity.

Observational dataset of behavioral response of three-spined sticklebacks to TNT exposure in a closed laboratory setup

Dumped munition in the German North Sea and Baltic Sea pose environmental risks as corrosion of the munition shells results in the leakage of the explosive 2,4,6-trinitroluene (TNT) into the marine environment. Uptake of TNT by marine biota and the associated negative effects on organisms are of major concern. This dataset reports behavioral responses of three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) to environmentally relevant concentrations of TNT. Experimental sticklebacks were laboratory-bred and held in groups of 30 individuals in 60 L tanks in the fish facilities at the Thünen Institute of Fisheries Ecology in Bremerhaven. Parental sticklebacks originated from the Weser estuary (Luneplate, Bremerhaven, Germany, 53°28'36.9" N; 8°31'08.9" E) and were collected in April 2023. A total of 60 sticklebacks were tested in a controlled laboratory setup at the fish facilities at the Thünen Institute in Bremerhaven, containing two hideout zones formed by artificial plants. Each hideout was connected to an infusion system delivering either a TNT solution (100 µg/L) or control water into the zone currently occupied by the fish. Experimental trials were video-recorded to enable post hoc behavioral analysis. Behavioral metrics included the total time spent in the exposed hideout zone (s), latency to first leave the exposed hideout zone (s), and the number of crossings between hideout zones.

DDT and DDE Konzentrationen im Blut-Serum durch Pestizid belastete Wohnräume

Ziel: DDT wurde früher häufig als Insektizid auch im Wohnbereich eingesetzt. Messungen zeigten, dass auch noch lange nach dem DDT Verbot (15.09.1989) DDT Konzentrationen bis 90 mg/kg Hausstaub gemessen werden können. Handlungsbedarf besteht laut Umweltbundesamt bereits ab 4 mg DDT/kg. Da die Anreicherung bzw. die Probenahme des Hausstaubes in den meisten Fällen mit einfachen Staubsaugern durchgeführt wurden, liegen keine Kenntnisse über die Größenverteilung des gesammelten Staubes vor (z.B. über die Menge der einatembaren Staubfraktion). DDT könnte aber zusätzlich auch perkutan aus Kleidungsstücken, die in den übernommenen Einbauschränken aufbewahrt und kontaminiert werden, resorbiert werden. Eine Abschätzung der inneren Belastung allein über die DDT Konzentrationen in den gesammelten Staubfraktionen ist daher nicht möglich. Methodik: Im Serum von 16 Personen, die in früheren US Wohnungen mit angeblich erhöhten DDT Belastungen leben, führten wir ein human-biomonitoring durch. Wir bestimmten im Serum der Betroffenen den DDT Metaboliten 4,4 'DDE. Ergebnisse: Im Mittel lagen die 4,4 DDE Konzentrationen im Serum mit 1,62 my/l in der Größenordnung nicht belasteter Personen (1,82 my/l).

Spurenmetalle: Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Hg, Pb. Organische Schadstoffe: HCB, HCH (Alpha, Gamma), DDT und Metabolite (o,p- und p,p), PCBs (Nr. 28-52-101-118-138-153-180).

Vorkommen von chlorierten Kohlenwasserstoff-Insektiziden in menschlichen Geweben

Es werden Fettgewebe, Leber, Niere und Gehirn aus Sektionsgut untersucht. Die qualitative und quantitative Bestimmung erfolgt gaschromatographisch. Die Ausarbeitung erfolgt im Hinblick darauf, ob und in welchem Umfang die chlorierten KW (DDT und Analoge, Aldrin, Dieldrin, Heptachlor, Heptachlorepoxid, Methoxychlor und Hexachlorcyclohexan-Isomere sowie Hexachlorbenzol) trotz Verbots bzw. starker Einschraenkung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in menschlichen Geweben wiederzufinden sind. Ausserdem soll untersucht werden, ob Beziehungen bestehen hinsichtlich Alter und Geschlecht und Konzentration der Stoffe und ob sich Korrelationen zwischen Krankheiten bzw. Todesursache und Hoehe der gefundenen Werte ergeben.
