  1. 1. Unsaturated Phase Environmental Processes in MSWI Bottom Ash

    Författare :Aamir Ilyas; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bottom Ash; Frequency Domain; Hydrogen Recovery; Leaching; Microbial Respiration; Eco-toxicity; Solid Waste;

    Sammanfattning : Every year, Sweden produces 1.5 million tons of incineration residues from waste to energy plants. Among these residues bottom ash(BA) due to its large volume and good geotechnical quality can be reused as an alternative construction material. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Population modeling using harpacticoid copepods : Bridging the gap between individual-level effects and protection goals of environmental risk assessment

    Författare :Elin Lundström Belleza; Magnus Breitholtz; Annemette Palmqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Population modeling; Eco toxicity tests; Environmental risk assessment; Harpacticoid copepods; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : To protect the environment from contaminants, environmental risk assessment (ERA) evaluates the risk of adverse effects to populations, communities and ecosystems. Environmental management decisions rely on ERAs, which commonly are based on a few endpoints at the individual organism level. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Transparency within REACH? : Regulatory risk assessment of industrial chemicals

    Författare :Ellen Ingre-Khans; Christina Rudén; Marlene Ågerstrand; Anna Beronius; Jeanne Duus Johansen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; REACH; chemicals legislation; risk assessment; hazard assessment; transparency; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Chemicals provide us with many benefits but can also have adverse effects on human health and the environment. Concerns that previous European legislations were not providing adequate protection from chemical risks resulted in a new chemicals legislation – REACH – in 2007. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Chemical substitution with a life cycle perspective: The case of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in durable water repellents

    Författare :Hanna Holmquist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LCIA; CAA; LCA; PFAS; DWR;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the research presented in this thesis was to support the process of substitution of side-chain fluorinated polymers in durable water repellents (DWRs), that give rise to emissions of hazardous per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). The focus was on: i) the provision of improved decision support regarding the environmental and human health performance of alternatives, and ii) public readiness for substitution and what messages can motivate consumers to voluntary substitution.

  7. 5. Polyesters with indole as sustainable aromatic component

    Författare :Ping Wang; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; indole; sustainable polyesters; high performance; recycling; biodegradation;

    Sammanfattning : Plastics are widely used in our daily lives and industry. Unfortunaltely, most plastics are produced from non-renewable fossil resources. The transition toward sustainable resources such as various biomass is critically important for the future of plastic industry and the whole society. LÄS MER
