Workshop: Vergabekriterien für die Zertifizierung von Antifouling-Systemen mit dem blauen Engel
Das Problem durch Bewuchs (= Fouling) auf Schiffen ist so alt wie die Schifffahrt selbst. Schiffsrümpfe werden über kurz oder lang von festsitzenden, pflanzlichen und tierischen Organismen besiedelt.
Dieser Bewuchs erhöht den Reibungswiderstand der Schiffe, was die Fahrtgeschwindigkeit mindert und den Treibstoffverbrauch erhöht.
Um das zu verhindern, werden Antifoulinganstriche benutzt. Nach derzeitiger Kenntnis sind rd. 75 % aller Antifoulinganstriche (AF) im Sportbootbereich und rd. 95% aller Beschichtungen in der Berufsschifffahrt kupferbasiert. Hinzu kommen weitere Biozide, die derzeit für diese Verwendung genehmigt sind.
Alle diese Biozide werden direkt und intendiert in die Gewässer eingetragen und können dort, neben den eigentlichen Zielorganismen, auch andere im Gewässer lebende Organismen schädigen. Am Beispiel Kupfer konnte bereits gezeigt werden, dass die Emissionen aus Antifoulingbeschichtungen eine relevante Umweltbelastung darstellen.
Eine Möglichkeit, diese Umweltbelastung zu minimieren, ist die Nutzung von Alternativen, die ohne die Abgabe von Bioziden die Bewuchsbildung verringern. Es stellen sich aber die Fragen:
Wie umweltfreundlich und wie wirksam sind diese Alternativen?
Das Umweltbundesamt lässt derzeit im Rahmen des
Projektes FKZ 371 96541 50 diese Fragen prüfen, um daraus Kriterien für die Vergabe des Umweltzeichens Blauer Engel für Antifouling-Systeme zu entwickeln. Schlussendlich sollen mit dem Umweltzeichen alternative und umweltfreundliche Bewuchsschutzmethoden gefördert werden.
In dem Online-Workshop soll nun ein erster
Vorschlag für Vergabekriterien einem
Interessentenkreis aus Herstellern, Behörden und NGOs vorgestellt werden. Anschließend gibt es die Möglichkeit zur Diskussion.

11. eHealth-Lounge - "Die Zukunft der Hygiene"
Grippeepidemien oder auch die aktuelle Corona-Pandemie zeigen eindrucksvoll, wie sich Mikroorganismen innerhalb kürzester Zeit ausbreiten und welche Folgen derartige Verbreitungen für eine Gesellschaft haben können. Tragfähige Hygienekonzepte sowie präventive Maßnahmen zur Vorbeugung von Infektionen sind daher in allen Lebensbereichen relevant. Sowohl in Krankenhäusern als auch in stationären sowie ambulanten Einrichtungen und Diensten müssen neue, nachverfolgbare und sichere Infektionspräventionslösungen entwickelt und umgesetzt werden.
Welche (digitalen) Lösungsmöglichkeiten für einen besseren Hygieneschutz bestehen bereits und wie lassen sich diese Lösungen auf andere Bereiche und Sektoren übertragen? Was können wir aus den Anforderungen der Pandemie lernen? Wie gehen wir zukünftig mit dem Thema Hygiene um? Anlässlich des Internationalen Tages der Handhygiene greift das eHealth-Netzwerk Hamburg der Gesundheitswirtschaft Hamburg GmbH diese und weitere Fragen in unserer nächsten Online-Veranstaltung auf und lädt zur 11. eHealth-Lounge - "Die Zukunft der Hygiene" ein.
