  1. 1. Wastewater discharges and microbial variability in a surface water source

    Författare :Johan Åström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; faecal indicators; pathogens; drinking-water; microbial risk assessment; variability; rainfall; catchment; wastewater; surface water; Hazardous events;

    Sammanfattning : Planning for drinking-water safety in surface waters includes a systematic assessment of hazards in the catchment, and microbial contamination is considered a major health risk. The aim of this thesis was to identify and characterize microbial hazardous events reported for River Göta älv, Sweden. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The development of methods for detection and assessment of safety critical events in car driving

    Författare :Omar Bagdadi; Andras Varhelyi; Nicolas Saunier; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Near miss; Braking; Driving veh ; Driver; Behaviour; Tillbud; Bromsning; Fordonskörning; Förare; Beteende; Road: Road user behaviour; Road: Road user behaviour; Crash involvement; jerk; safety critical event;

    Sammanfattning : Improving our knowledge of drivers’ behaviour, especially in hazardous situations is a key to understanding why accidents occur and how to improve safety on our roads. Crash surrogate measures have proven to be very useful in traffic safety analysis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Emissions of organic compounds from landfills

    Författare :Cecilia Öman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The presence of hazardous compounds in waste presents ahazard to the environment both in the short term and the longterm perspective. Landfills containing organic waste canassimilate certain levels of hazardous organic compounds sincethey offer a potential for retention and possibly degradationof organic constituents during events which occur in landfills.

  5. 4. I hettan från ångpannan : Vetenskap och politik i konflikter om tekniska anläggningar

    Författare :Robert Hrelja; Jonas Anshelm; Göran Sundqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Waste incineration; Energy; Citing controversy; Environmental disputes; Strategies; Actor-network theory; Skövde; Avfallsförbränning; Energi; Lokaliseringskonflikter; Miljökonflikter; Strategier; Aktörsnätverksteori; Skövde; Technology and social change; Teknik och social förändring;

    Sammanfattning : Denna avhandling analyserar miljökonflikter i anslutning till storskaliga tekniska anläggningar. Miljökonflikter uppkommer när det finns konkurrerande mål bland aktörer och formas av förhandlingsprocesser mellan olika aktörer där vetenskap, teknik och politik vävs samman. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Method Development for Environmental Risk Assessment of Shipwrecks

    Författare :Hanna Landquist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; environmental risk assessment; decision support; fault tree analysis; shipwreck;

    Sammanfattning : Potentially polluting shipwrecks containing oil or other hazardous substances may posea threat to the marine environment. This is a global problem and many shipwrecks stemfrom the Second World War and have been deteriorating on the sea floor since then. LÄS MER
