1. PBDEs in the Environment : Time trends, bioaccumulation and the identification of their successor, decabromodiphenyl ethane
Sammanfattning : Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are important chemical flame retardants, but also environmental pollutants. Their bromine substitution lends them a different bioaccumulation behaviour than the better studied organochlorines.The contamination of a Swedish lake with lower brominated BDEs was assessed by a retrospective study of pike.

2. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry of polybrominated diphenyl ethers
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis has been to develop accurate and sensitive analytical methods for the determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). It focuses on the development and optimization of gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis of PBDE. LÄS MER
3. Sources, emissions, and occurrence of chlorinated paraffins in Stockholm, Sweden
Sammanfattning : Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. They fulfill all of the criteria (persistent, toxic, and subject to long-range transport) for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). LÄS MER
4. Comprehensive non-target screening to find and identify new biomagnifying organic contaminants in Baltic Sea top consumers
Sammanfattning : The development of industrial processes in the 19th and 20th centuries, in particular oil refining, resulted in a huge discovery and subsequent large-scale production of a variety of chemicals. These useful chemicals supposedly made the everyday lives of people easier and better by, for instance, controlling the spread of diseases such as malaria, through the use of DDT and other organochlorine pesticides (OCPs).

5. Monitoring persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in sub-Arctic and Arctic marine mammals, 1984 - 2009
Sammanfattning : The Arctic has become an important indicator region for assessing persistence and bioaccumulation properties of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). This thesis is aimed at evaluating the occurrence of persistent halogenated POPs in seven species of sub-Arctic and Arctic marine mammals over a 25-year period. LÄS MER
