1. 21. Characterizing chemical exposure : focus on children's environment

   Författare :Kristin Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Children are constantly exposed to chemicals in food, water, dust, air and consumer products. Compared to adults, children often have a higher exposure to chemicals due to physical and behavioural factors. Because of their unique exposure patterns, exposure assessments in adults are not directly transferrable to children. LÄS MER

3. 22. Technological Aspects of Preparing Porridges Made from Local Crops in Mozambique

   Författare :Irene Carvalho; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Child malnutrition; consistency; complementary porridge; developing countries; energy density; carotenoids;

   Sammanfattning : Child malnutrition is one of the major health problems in many developing countries and involves many sectors such as health, agriculture and research. Malnutrition in infants usually develops during the introduction of complementary foods, due to a deficit of nutrients, low energy density and the poor bioavailability of vitamins and minerals leading, in turn, to an increase in the risk of disease and infant mortality.

4. 23. What contributes to human body burdens of phthalate esters? : An experimental approach

   Författare :Georgios Giovanoulis; Cynthia A. de Wit; Jörgen Magnér; Brice Appenzeller; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phthalates; Alternative plasticizers; DINCH; In vivo screening; Urine; Nails; Air; Dust; Hand wipes; Duplicate diet; Predictors of exposure; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Phthalate esters (PEs) and alternative plasticizers used as additives in numerous consumer products are continuously released into the environment leading to subsequent human exposure. The ubiquitous presence and potential adverse health effects (e.g. LÄS MER

5. 24. Are we using antibiotics responsibly? Assessing antibiotic use in rural Shandong province, China

   Författare :Oliver James Dyar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Community;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Tackling the misuse and overuse of antibiotics is critical both for global sustainable development and for reducing social inequalities in the world. The World Health Organisation Global Action Plan on antimicrobial resistance calls on all Member States to develop multi-sectoral National Action Plans and to “monitor and promote optimization of antimicrobial use at national and local levels”.

7. 25. The missing links : Towards an Informed Substitution of Durable Water Repellent Chemicals for Textiles

   Författare :Steffen Schellenberger; Ian Cousins; Stefan Stolte; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Durable water repellents (DWRs) that provide liquid repellency to functional textiles are part of an ongoing global substitution process. The process of substitution was initiated after DWRs based on side-chain fluorinated polymers (long-chain SFPs) were identified to contribute to the diffuse release of long-chain perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) to the environment.
