title: [The effect of ecotoxicological processes on animal husbandry in industrial countries].
abstract: This paper describes results of ecotoxicological investigations concerning the effects of industrial pollutants on farm animals. By means of simultaneous experiments using dusts from lignite-filters and sedimentation-filters as well as sulfur dioxide (SO2) as stress models and by using studies on farm animals in pollutant-burden regions of eastern Germany it could be shown, that pollutants can lead to disorders of health, efficiency and behaviour, like o. g. heavy metals, and to contamination of food of animal origin. Dusts, resulting from combustion of lignite and SO2 initiate non specific effects in the organism and it is only difficult to determine their part on the decrease of productivity and metabolic disorder of farm animals in pollutant regions.
