             Joint programme
             A maximum of 15-850 million units of account shall be allocated to this objective, the
             number of staff being fixed at 171 (including a programme staff of 93 ).
             The objective shall include:
             — analysis and supervision (particularly the development of a multidetection unit; studies
                on teledetection and measurement of pollutants ; creation of a data bank for chemicals),
             — spread and effect of pollutants (in particular studies of biological indicators of water
                pollution, genetic toxicity and bio-telemetry of subacute toxic effects on laboratory
                animals),
             — model and systems analysis of the process of eutrophication of an alpine lake and of
                atmospheric pollution,
             — theoretical studies on thermal pollution and the purification of water by means of catalytic
                oxidation,
             — optimization of the operation of the data bank on chemical products in the environment,
             — definition of criteria of compatibility of new industrial products with the environment
                 (environment 'label', evaluation and technical tests),
             — study of the thermal balance in an urban system.
             These activities will be carried out by the Ispra Establishment.
