Abstract

Different definitions for the concepts of information, information transfer, i.e. communication and its effect and efficiency of false, but also correct information, especially from the environmental sector, are given. "THE TEN ECOLOGICAL COMMANDMENTS" developed by Menke-Glückert at the end of the 1960s and the 9th commandment "Do not pollute information", in particular, are examined in more detail and understood practically as a currently unchanging law in our existing world societies. The "Ethics Consensus", derived from "THE TEN ECOLOGICAL COMMANDMENTS" and developed by Markert at the end of the 1990s, reflects both theoretical and practical levels of action that many people in our highly diverse world societies can support. From a scientific point of view, this article deals in particular with the so-called B & B technologies, i.e. bioindication and biomonitoring of chemical elements, their chemical speciation as well as organic substances.

In particular, B & B technologies, which deal with the biological detection of atmospheric deposition of chemical substances on a regional, national and international level, are taken into account. From both an academic and a practical point of view, mosses have prevailed here in the last decades in addition to lichens. The use of mosses is a major focus of international air monitoring, especially in Europe. Furthermore, the phytoremediation of chemical substances in water, soil and air is described as a biological and sustainable biological process, which does not "yet" have the full scope as it is used in bioindication and biomonitoring, as shown in the example of mosses. However, the phytoremediation considers to be an excellent tool to have the leading role in the sustainable pollutant "fight". In the future qualitative and quantitative approaches have been further on developed to fit scientifically and practically B&B Technologies as well the different form of phytotechnological approaches. Finally, the example of lithium, which is optionally derived from the Biological System of Chemical Elements (BSCE), becomes a chemical example that the administration of lithium to ALL mentally conditioned diseases such as manic depression up to smoking of cigarettes  become one of the most valuable service for the recovery of our human society on a global level.

As a conclusion of these tremendous effects of lithium can be considered: pulled out, in order to make clear that only this chemical element beside a psychiatric care and the involvement of family members, friends, physicians, psychologists and psychiatrists. In addition it is a must, that there is a strong relationship in between patient, psychiatrist(s) and strongly related persons to the patient. First an intensive information transfer via communication has to be guaranteed. After it a psychological support by doctors and, only if it seems necessary Lithium is to be given in a patient specific dose.
