Veröffentlichung Assessing risks for soils: challenges and opportunities(2022) Lima, Cláudia; Kotschik, Pia; Princz, Juliska; Scholz-Starke, BjörnVeröffentlichung The upcoming European Soil Monitoring Law: An effective instrument for the protection of terrestrial ecosystems?(2023) Kotschik, Pia; Princz, Juliska; Lima, Claudia e Silva de; Pieper, SilviaSoils are a precious resource consistently placed under several threats, and urgently, in need of protection within a regulatory framework at the European level. Soils are central to the provision of environmental services as well as human existence on earth. The need to protect soil has been identified by several recent European strategies and fortunately, a specific European Regulation for soil protection is on the way - the European Soil Monitoring Law (formerly: Soil Health Law). However, efforts need to ensure that the upcoming Soil Monitoring law closes gaps between existing regulations for chemicals and acknowledges current European strategies for environmental protection and sustainability. This brief communication started from a fruitful discussion among SETAC Global Soils Interest Group members on a recent public consultation on the newly proposed Soil Monitoring Law of the European Commission and highlights critical points focusing on the chemical pollution of soils. We emphasise urgent needs such as the essential definition of a â€Ìhealthy stateâ€Ì of soils, the implementation of a suitable set of indicators and quality standards for the description of physical, chemical and biological states of soils, the enforcement of the 'polluters pay's' principle and the establishment of a European wide monitoring program. Results from monitoring need to be fed back into regulatory frameworks, including the regulation of chemicals. Guidance documents for the risk assessment of chemicals are outdated and need to be updated. Finally, actions need to be taken to foster healthy soils, stop biodiversity decline and ensure the functioning of ecosystem services for future generations. © 2023 Society of Environmental Toxicology and ChemistryVeröffentlichung The upcoming European Soil Health Law - chances and challenges for an effective soil protection(Umweltbundesamt, 2023) Biegel-Engler, Annegret; Frauenstein, Jörg; Ginzky, Harald; Glante, Frank; Grimski, Detlef; Kotschik, Pia; Marx, Kirstin; Pieper, SilviaThe European Soil Strategy for 2030 by the European Commission has set the foundations for an overarching approach to the protection of soils in Europe. In this scientific opinion paper, the German Environment Agency (⥠UBA⥠) lays down its key recommendations for the upcoming Soil Health Law. Feedback on legislative options is provided and experience gained in Germany in the past years on soil protection and restoration is shared. Knowing the outstanding importance of soils for human and ecosystem health, UBA strongly agrees that a new binding European legislative framework on soils with high ambition is urgently needed.
