Die Versiegelung von Oberflächen, Bebauung und die Ausweitung städtischer Gebiete führen weltweit besonders in sonnenreichen Regionen zu innerstädtischen Hitzeinseln. Diese Flächen wirken als Wärmespeicher, so dass an Sonnentagen eine Temperaturdifferenz bis zu 10 K zwischen Stadt und umliegendem Land entstehen kann. Verstärkt wird dieser sogenannte Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE) durch die meist direkte Abführung des anfallenden Regenwassers in die Kanalisation, wodurch eine Kühlung durch stetige Verdunstung unterbunden ist, Mit steigender Urbanisierung wächst auch die Bedeutung dieses Phänomens. Innerstädtische Hitzeinseln ziehen direkte wirtschaftliche und soziale Folgen nach sich, da hohe Temperaturen eine teure Klimatisierung der Städte bedingen. So entsteht ein erhöhter Verbrauch an Ressourcen sowie zusätzliche Abwärme. Das Wohlbefinden und die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung verschlechtern sich bei sehr hohen Temperaturen, was zu sinkender Leistungsfähigkeit und sogar zu einer erhöhten Sterberate führen kann.
The large scale application of self-cooling concrete pavers is a future-oriented approach to reduce the urban heat island effect in inner-city areas. Making use of evaporation enthalpy, these new pavements counterbalance the absorption of solar radiation and the subsequent transfer of heat to the surrounding environment. The concrete pavers consist of a permeable top-layer and a storage layer. As the different requirements of these layers demand different concrete mixtures they are developed and optimised for their respective functions. This paper presents some results of the concrete mixture design and Solutions that combine a sufficient compressive strength as well as good water transportation properties for the face concrete layer.
Worldwide an increasing migration from rural to urban regions can be observed. Hence cities are growing and as a result the building density and the land sealing rise. Concrete as commonly used building material in urban structures provides a high heat storage capacity. Therefore the microclimate in cities has become warmer than in the surrounding areas. This phenomenon is called Urban Heat Island Effect. To mitigate this situation a large scale application of self-cooling concrete pavers is an approach to reduce the urban heat island effect. Making use of evaporation enthalpy, this new type of pavements counterbalances the absorption of solar radiation and the subsequent transfer of heat to the surrounding environment. The typical double-layer structure of concrete paving stones can be maintained. The mass concrete acts as a water storage layer and is covered by a permeable face concrete. As the different requirements of these layers demand different concrete mixtures, they are developed and optimised for their respective functions. This paper presents some suitable no-slump concrete mixtures that combine a sufficient compressive strength as well as good water transportation properties for the above mentioned approach.
An investigation of microplastic (MP) occurrence in a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent with tertiary treatment was carried out. Representative sample volumes of 1 m3 were taken by applying a fractionated filtration method (500, 100, and 50 µm mesh sizes). The detection of MP mass fractions by thermal extraction desorption–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TED-GC/MS) was achieved without the previously required additional sample pretreatment for the first time. Different types of quantification methods for the evaluation of TED-GC/MS data were tested, and their accuracy and feasibility have been proven for real samples. Polyethylene, polystyrene, and polypropylene were identified in effluent samples. The polymer mass content varied significantly between 5 and 50 mg m−3. A correlation between the MP load and the quantity of suspended matter in the WWTP effluents, particle size distribution, particle type, and operation day (i.e., weekday, season, and capacity) was not found. It can be concluded that a meaningful assessment of WWTPs requires a comprehensive sampling campaign with varying operation conditions.
