Concept and Operational Experiences of the Pilot Environmental Specimen Bank Program in the Federal Republic of Germany

  • Chapter
Environmental Specimen Banking and Monitoring as Related to Banking

Abstract

The Pilot Specimen Bank program for the Federal Republic of Germany designed and coordinated by the Umweltbundesamt (Federal Environmental Agency) was started experimentally in 1976 (1). The whole effect is also coordinated with the United States National Pilot Environmental Specimen Bank Program.
