1. 1. Emissions of organic compounds from technosphere articles : Measurements and modeling of mass transfer from consumer goods and building materials to air and water

   Författare :Tomas Holmgren; Peter Haglund; Martin Scheringer; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Emission; model; DINP; DINCH; TiBP; TPP; Vinyl flooring; flat screen displays; LCD screen; concrete; Abraham solvation parameters; Piringer equation; linear free energy relation;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the development of a generic model for predicting the emissions of organic compounds from materials used in the manufacture of various goods and products. Many products contain organic substances that are not bound to the matrix formed by their constituent materials and are thus able to dissociate from the material and become transferred into the surrounding environment.

3. 2. Phthalates: A Full Chain Story : Connecting phthalate sources, indoor dust, human intake, and airway symptoms in children

   Författare :Anna-Sofia Preece; Carl-Gustav Bornehag; Malin Knutz; Huan Shu; Bruce Lanphear; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; children s health; endocrine disruption; exposure pathways; full chain model; human exposure; plasticizers; pregnancy; PVC; respiratory; SELMA study; Public Health Science; Folkhälsovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Phthalates are widely used in a large number of consumer goods and building materials from which they can leach and contaminate the environment such as indoor dust and air. It is unclear how phthalate sources in our homes and indoor dust contribute to human intake and airway symptoms in children. LÄS MER

4. 3. Life Cycle Assessment of Building Products. Case Studies and Methodology

   Författare :Åsa Jönsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VOCs; environmental assessment; floorings; methods; LCA; concrete; indoor climate; Life Cycle Assessment; structural frames; building materials; steel; tools;

   Sammanfattning : The main objectives of this thesis were to demonstrate how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) may be applied to building products, to describe what methodological LCA issues are specific to building products, to work out solutions to some of these issues and to relate LCA to other environmental assessment methods that may be applied to building products. First, in a literature study, the state of the art in the field of environmental assessment of building products is described, and the five articles constituting the thesis are put into context.
