1. Colonisation and PAH degradation by wood-rotting fungi in contaminated soil
Sammanfattning : Bioremediation of soils is considered a low-cost alternative to other remediation techniques. Its ability to remove a number of different pollutants has been demonstrated, relying mainly on the activities of indigenous soil bacteria. LÄS MER
2. Bioactivation and binding of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in blood vessel endothelia
Sammanfattning : Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants formed by incomplete combustion of organic materials such as fossil fuels and wood. Experimental and epidemiological studies indicate that PAHs may be involved in the development of cardiovascular disease. LÄS MER
3. Exposure, health effects, immunological markers and biomarkers of susceptibility among Swedish rubber workers
Sammanfattning : Workers in the rubber industry have an increased risk of several diseases, such as airway disease, cancer and probably cardiovascular disease. The exposure is very complex; carbon disulfide (CS2) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) being two of the contaminants. LÄS MER
4. Analysis of PAHs and their transformations products in contaminated soil and remedial processes
Sammanfattning : Soil that is heavily contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is often found at the sites of former gasworks and wood-impregnation plants. Since PAHs are toxic these sites represent a hazard to human health and the environment, and therefore they need to be treated, preferably by a method that destroys the contaminants, and thus eliminates the problem permanently.

5. Occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and early biomarkers related to cardiovascular disease and cancer
Sammanfattning : Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are omnipresent environmental pollutants composed of fused benzene rings and mainly produced by incomplete combustion of organic material. PAH exposure has been associated with increased risk of cancer and probably cardiovascular disease (CVD). LÄS MER
