Satellites that measure the chemical composition of the atmosphere are becoming more accurate and numerous, providing a unique opportunity to independently monitor emissions for large geographical regions in a consistent way. This report elaborates the development of a software tool which is able to process satellite observation data and estimate NOx emissions from it for a pre-defined area. The tool is fully operational for processing satellite observations from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). The tool is modular in design with the capability in mind to digest satellite data from various satellites and for pollutants. It is furthermore designed to be relatively simple and operates without a dependence on complicated and computationally demanding atmospheric models. The methods for satellite based emission estimation can complement data from emission inventories by incorporating independent measurement techniques into the reporting scheme. This would help to identify room for improvement in the compilation of inventories as well as boost the transparency and confidence in the reported data. The developed capabilities of the tool are applied to derive German national emissions for the year 2019 as well as the trend in NOx emissions between 2005 and 2019. Three methods to derive NOx emissions estimates from satellite observations are developed and applied to TROPOMI data for the year 2019. Derivation of emissions through direct integration of atmospheric concentrations over the vertical columns within a region (called the Naïve method) results in an estimate of German NOx emission of 1097.1 kton. A Gaussian plume-based fitting routine (Fioletov et al., 2017) led to an estimated 1241.0 kton and a computation based on the divergence of the pollutant flux field (Beirle et al., 2019) resulted in an estimate of 1260.7 kton. All three estimates are within 15% of the reported total emissions for 2019 (1108.82, NFR, Submission 2022 (europa.eu)). To derive the trend in NOx emissions within the past 15 years, the Fioletov method was applied to OMI observations between 2005 and 2019, showing an average decrease of around 25% between the 2005-2007 and 2017-2019 period, which is in agreement with the reduction reported in emission inventories (20% reduction between 2005-2007 and 2014-2016 period and 23% between 2005-2007 and 2017-2019 period found in the 2022 NFR reported totals based on fuel sold [Submission 2022]). TROPOMI was launched in October 2017 hence its data cannot be used to monitor long term trends. While all three methods show comparable results for 2019 at country level, differences were observed at smaller administrative scales, notably the Naïve method not being able to reproduce local emission gradients to the same level as the other methods. At the highest administrative level (Districts) the Gaussian plume method starts to outperform the divergence method. Both methods can be further improved to reach higher levels of accuracy. The majority of the uncertainties relate to the estimated NOx lifetime in the calculations and inaccuracies in the TROPOMI-NO2 product. An important issue when comparing emission estimates from satellite observations with the official inventory data is the fact that the inventories (by convention) do not include all emission sources which contribute to the observed concentrations. Adding estimates for natural emissions and emissions from the so called "Memo" items 1 from the IIR to the national total as reported in the IIR bring the inventory data and the satellite observation closer together.

The OECD Test Guidelines (TG) for Chemicals are a specific tool for assessing the potential effects of chemicals on human health and the environment. These internationally standardised TGs for the testing of chemicals are used by industry, academia and authorities in the testing and evaluation of chemicals (industrial chemicals, pesticides, biocides, pharmaceuticals, etc.). As part of the OECD Test Guidelines Programme (TGP), the OECD TGs are developed and updated by the OECD Working Group of National Coordinators for the OECD Test Guidelines Programme (WNT). To ensure that the OECD TGs reflect the state of the art in science and technology and meet the regulatory requirements of member countries, the OECD TGs are to be continuously expanded and updated. As regular review of the OECD TGs is not a standard requirement, it is the responsibility of OECD member countries to identify, propose and implement the projects necessary to update the TGs. Therefore, the focus is often on guidelines in which member countries have a particular interest and for which sufficient resources are available to initiate a revision process. Test guidelines that may not be used as frequently or are of low interest tend to be neglected in this approach, although a revision may be necessary. The aim of this project was to identify OECD TGs that are not state of the art. Only OECD TGs that refer to the effects of chemicals on biotic systems, to the behaviour and fate of chemicals in the environment or to their physicochemical properties when used for environmental risk assessment were considered. Based on a detailed questionnaire, a comprehensive survey was conducted to identify the needs for TG revisions. Proposals for revising the TGs were evaluated in a second survey. Both surveys were open to all interested parties including industry, science, contract labs, NGOs and authorities. After completion of the surveys, the results were discussed in three thematic workshops. Recommendations for the revision of the OECD Test Guidelines were developed and prioritised, which were finally presented to the members of the WNT.

This book features the second volume of the proceedings of the 9th International Conference of the International Association of Cultural and Digital Tourism (IACuDiT). Held at the Syros Island in Greece in September 2022, the conference's lead theme was 'Tourism, Travel, and Hospitality in a Smart and Sustainable World'. With a full appreciation of the contributions made by numerous writers toward the progress in tourism research, this book presents a critical academic discourse on sustainable practices in a smart tourism context, stimulating future debates and advancing knowledge and understanding in this critical area of knowledge. It also puts emphasis on the knowledge economy and smart destinations notion. It enacts new modes of tourism management and development and presents chapters on cultural heritage tourism, emerging technologies and tourism consumer behaviour, such as tourism education, location-based services, Internet of Things, smart cities, mobile services, gamification, digital collections and the virtual visitor, social media, social networking, and augmented reality.
