  1. 16. Linking exposure pathways to internal concentrations of brominated flame retardants in Swedish mothers and their toddlers

    Författare :Leena Sahlström; Cynthia A. de Wit; Ulla Sellström; Urs Berger; Jochen Mueller; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; BFR; PBDE; HBCD; EBFR; human exposure; serum; feces; house dust; food; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) have been used in a variety of consumer products to enhance their fire safety. This has resulted in exposure of the environment, wildlife and humans causing risks of endocrine disruption. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Ecosystem functioning in streams under pressure : understanding the roles of biotic, abiotic and spatial drivers

    Författare :Amélie Truchy; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : What will happen if human populations are not able to rely on Earth’s ecosystems to deliver fundamental benefits in a near future? Stream ecosystems provide several essential services to human civilizations, but are currently under threat from multiple anthropogenic pressures. These pressures give rise to stressors that impact biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and ultimately ecosystem service delivery from streams. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Measurement of primary DNA damage in individual cells from humans and mice using the alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis assay

    Författare :Hamid Vaghef; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; arbets- och miljömedicin; Occupational and Environmental Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Primary DNA damage is considered to be an important step in the development of tumours and itmay also serve as a biomarker of genotoxic stress. Measurement of DNA strand breaks in peripherallymphocytes can yield useful information about the suitability of these cells for biomonitoring purposesand subsequently risk assessment. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Assessing human exposure to phthalates, alternative plasticizers and organophosphate esters

    Författare :Tuong Thuy Bui; Ian T. Cousins; Andrew Sweetman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human exposure; phthalates; organophosphates; plasticizers; flame retardants; modelling; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Phthalate esters (PEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) are common indoor pollutants frequently detected in environmental (dust, air), personal (hand wipes, diet) and human matrices (urine, serum etc.). LÄS MER

  7. 20. Organohalogen contaminants in wildlife from the Yangtze River Delta : Development of methods and assessments of legacy and emerging persistent organic pollutants

    Författare :Ge Yin; Åke Bergman; Gang Yu; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organochlorine pesticides; flame retardants; chlorinated paraffins; PCBs; PCDEs; PBDEs; PCDD Fs; dicofol; environmental monitoring; bioindicator; shellfish; snail; bird eggs; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid economic development has occurred during the past few decades in China with the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) area as one of the most progressive areas. The urbanization, industrialization, agricultural and aquaculture activities result in extensive production and application of chemicals. LÄS MER
