Abstract

A flood event has many visible effects like inundation, the destruction of infrastructure and buildings and the suffer of humans concerned. As a function of the cause of the flood additionally with it contamination can be connected, which represents a hazard potential in the environment also on a long-term basis. With spring floods arising in regular intervals due to the snow melting corresponding flood protection provision are met, in order to avoid contamination. This is not possible with extreme heavy rainfalls resulting from Vb weather in the summer. Contamination risks are not to be excluded therefore and require themselves apart from the monitoring of the authorities detailed investigations and estimations of the potential risks resulting in from it.

In August 2002 after the extreme heavy rainfalls within the area of the ore rich mountains "Erzgebirge" in the catchment area of the Elbe and the main tributary Mulde, scientific investigations on mud samples and high flood sediments had been done, to determine the effects of several contaminants like organic pollutants, heavy metals and arsenic, radionuclides and micro-biological contaminations to.

Based on the results a overview about main contamination effects are given with first conclusions an outlook for further detailed investigation.
