  1. 1. Use and Development of Diffusive Samplers to Analyse the Fate of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds, Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Pharmaceuticals in Wastewater Treatment Processes

    Författare :Lijana Augulyte; Patrik L. Andersson; Anna Ledin; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioavailable; biologically activated carbon; PRCs; sampling rate; SPMD; sorption; wastewater treatment; diffusive passive samplers; human pharmaceuticals; municipal sewage treatment plant; organic micropollutants; polycyclic aromatic compounds; PAHs; PCBs; POCIS; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : The efficiency of wastewater treatment systems is commonly measured by the reductions of parameters such as biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS) and/or reductions in levels of selected macro compounds (e.g. long-chained hydrocarbons and inorganic compounds).

  3. 2. Hazard screening of contaminated sites : bioavailable fractions and biological in vitro tools

    Författare :Daniel Ragnvaldsson; Mats Tysklind; Per Leffler; Lars Lövgren; Bengt-Erik Bengtsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hazard screening; bioavailability; metal pollution; in vitro cytotoxicity; water extraction; CCA; arsenic genotoxicity; genotoxicity; Contaminated soil; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Sammanfattning : The environmental bioavailability of contaminants, rather than their total concentrations in the soil compartment play a decisive role for the risks associated with contaminated sites. Various soil constituents and abiotic conditions have strong influence on bioavailability, which may vary substantially between different locations. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Protein-based capacitive biosensors for the detection of heavy-metal ions

    Författare :Alessia Mortari; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heavy metal ions; protein; electrode; Biosensor; capacitance;

    Sammanfattning : Some metal ions, such as copper and zinc, are essential nutrients and catalysts in biochemical reactions. Other metal ions, e.g. cadmium and mercury, are highly toxic elements. LÄS MER

  5. 4. On the Environmental Relevance of Platinum Group Elements

    Författare :Sebastien Rauch; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; platinum; ICP-MS; automobile emission; catalyst ageing; palladium; laser ablation; urban particles; bioaccumulation; rhodium;

    Sammanfattning : It has recently been demonstrated that platinum group elements (PGE) are released from automobile catalysts into the environment, raising concern over ecological and human health risks. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the dispersion and transformation of PGE in the environment and it is therefore difficult to assess potential risks. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Utilization of terrestrially derived dissolved organic nitrogen by aquatic bacteria

    Författare :Ramunas Stepanauskas; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amino acids; spring flood; UV radiation; estuarine mixing; microbial loop; bacterial bioassays; marine eutrophication; bioavailability; Dissolved organic nitrogen; DON; extracellular aminopeptidase; Baltic Sea; Hydrobiology; marine biology; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : I investigated the bacterial utilization of terrestrially derived dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in aquatic ecosystems, and assessed the potential role of river-born DON in marine eutrophication. To determine the bioavailability of DON, I developed a bioassay employing N-limited bacterial regrowth cultures, which were calibrated with additions of inorganic nitrogen. LÄS MER
