    Sammanfattning : Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic chemicals that can be found in various matrices in all corners of the planet, including remote areas such as the Arctic.  Several POPs are known and monitored but given the abundance of new chemicals in commerce about which little is known, chemicals that may be new POPs are constantly being screened for.

  3. 22. Solid-phase Microextraction and Detection of Organophosphate Triesters in Indoor air

    Författare :Sindra Isetun; Ulrika Nilsson; Anna-Karin Borg-Karlsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SPME; Organophosphate triesters; flame-retardant; indoor air; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : In the work underlying this thesis solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was evaluated as a passive sampling technique for organophosphate triesters in indoor air. These compounds are used on a large scale as flame-retarding and plastizicing additives in a variety of materials and products, and have proven to be common pollutants in indoor air. LÄS MER

  4. 23. An evaluation of sources contributing to urban runoff pollution

    Författare :Alexandra Müller; Maria Viklander; Helene Österlund; Jiri Marsalek; Shirley E. Clark; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stormwater quality; Pollution sources; Building surface materials; Traffic activities; Source identification methods; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering; Centrumbildning - Centrum för dagvattenhantering DRIZZLE ; Centre - Centre for Stormwater Management DRIZZLE ;

    Sammanfattning : Urban runoff is a significant pathway for the transport of diverse substances from the urban environment to receiving water bodies. Many of these substances are pollutants of environmental concern with potentially harmful effects on aquatic life. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Development and Evaluation of a Denuder-Filter System Designed for Sampling Diisocyanate Aerosols

    Författare :Yvonne Nordqvist; Ulrika Nilsson; Peter Haglund; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cylindrical denuder; Diisocyanate; TDI; HDI; IPDI; MDI; Chemosorption; Vapour particle distribution; Aerosol sampling; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : There are many occupational environments in which isocyanates or PUR-products are used, produced or processed. During these operations there is always a risk of isocyanate exposure, which may lead to severe health problems. Isocyanates principally affect the respiratory system and they are the main cause of occupational asthma. LÄS MER
