1. 6. Effects of Varying Combustion Conditions on PCDD/F Formation

   Författare :Johanna Aurell; Stellan Marklund; Sukh Sidhu; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dioxin; formation; PCDD; PCDF; MSW incineration; transient combustion; sulfur; memory effects; quench time; chlorine; combustion; polychlorinated dibenzothiophenes; NO; water; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Sammanfattning : Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are by-products emitted from combustion sources such as municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration plants. These organic compounds are recognized as toxic, bioaccumulative and persistent in the environment. LÄS MER

3. 7. Seasonal and Long-Term Storage of Baled Municipal Solid Waste

   Författare :Diauddin Nammari; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pollution control; Environmental technology; Analytisk kemi; Analytical chemistry; Miljöstudier; Environmental studies; Waste storage; Poly aromatic hydrocarbons PAH ; Dioxin; Self ignition; Volatile organic compounds; GC-MS; Temperature; Interpolation; Baling; Cylindrical bales; Rectangular bales; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp;

   Sammanfattning : Baling of MSW has been extensively used in Sweden and other countries for the storage of energy (biomass for energy) for incineration and production of either and or electricity and heat. Baling is performed in two principally different ways, leading to cylindrical- or rectangular bales. LÄS MER

4. 8. Rapid sample preparation and bioanalytical techniques for efficient screening of organic pollutants in the environment

   Författare :Malin Nording; Peter Haglund; Ron Hoogenboom; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; accelerated solvent extraction; CAFLUX; food; immunoassay; PAH; PCDD; PCDF; pressurized liquid extraction; soil; CALUX; cell-based bioassay; chemically activated fluorescent gene expression; chemically activated luciferase gene expression; dioxin; ELISA; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; feed; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Sammanfattning : Large numbers of samples often need to be prepared and analysed in surveys of organic pollutants in the environment, but while the methods commonly used in such surveys can provide abundant detail they are generally costly, time-consuming and require large amounts of resources, so there is a need for simpler techniques. The work underlying this thesis assessed the potential utility of more convenient sample preparation and bioanalytical techniques for rapidly screening various environmental matrices that could be useful complements to higher resolution methods.

5. 9. Environmental Contaminants and Obesity

   Författare :Monika Rönn; P. Monica Lind; Lars Lind; Jan Örberg; Merete Eggesbø; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Fischer 344; rat; obesity; adipose tissue; persistent organic pollutants; POPs; bisphenol A; BPA; pesticides; dioxin; PCB; DDT; apo A-I; adiponectin; leptin; ghrelin;

   Sammanfattning : Obesity is a worldwide problem affecting both children and adults. Genetic, physiological, environmental, psychological, social and economic factors interact in varying degrees, influencing body weight and fat distribution and the progress of obesity. LÄS MER

7. 10. Pollutant profiles as tools for characterisation of environmental exposure

   Författare :Håkan Wingfors; Peter Haglund; Calle Nilsson; Georg Becher; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; Multivariate; PCB; PAH; dioxin; PLS; Environment; road tunnel; Miljökemi; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; analytisk kemi; Analytical Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with measurements of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in environmental samples. The POPs consist of several groups of compound with many isomers, hence analysing POPs in a complex environment is a This thesis is concerned with measurements of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in environmental samples.
