  1. 21. Persistent environmental pollutants and risk of cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Tessa Schillemans; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Persistent chemicals emitted in the environment can have a considerable impact on ecosystems and human health, now and in the future. One notorious group of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). LÄS MER

  3. 22. Stabilization remediation of soils contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)

    Författare :Mattias Sörengård; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a major global concern in pollution of drinking water sources and aquatic environments. Due to the high persistence and mobility of these compounds, remediation methods for PFAS-contaminated soils are urgently needed to protect the surrounding environment and drinking water source areas.

  4. 23. The Ageing Gut, in Health and Disease

    Författare :Frida Fart; Ida Schoultz; Jonas Halfvarson; Annica Kihlgren; Tommy Cederholm; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Older adults; gut health; gastrointestinal symptoms; gut microbiota; nutrition; physical activity; inflammatory bowel disease; late-onset; per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances;

    Sammanfattning : There is a global ageing phenomenon, which stress the importance for an improved health for the increased population of older adults. One important factor for a good health is a well-functioning gut. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Characterisation of PFASs and Organofluorine in Freshwater Environments : Transfer from water to land via emergent aquatic insects

    Författare :Alina Koch; Thanh Wang; Micael Jonsson; Leo W. Y. Yeung; Anna Kärrman; Lutz Ahrens; Jonathan Martin; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFASs; riparian zone; emergent aquatic insects; terrestrial consumers; stable isotopes; organofluorine mass balance; AFFF; point sources;

    Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are anthropogenic contaminants of emerging concern, because many are highly persistent to degradation and have been linked to adverse effects in humans as well as their ubiquitous spread in aquatic environments. This thesis investigated distribution of PFASs and organofluorine in freshwater environments impacted by PFAS point sources. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Population Exposure to Organic Contaminants and Human Biomonitoring

    Författare :Erika Norén; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : We are surrounded by various chemicals, both naturally occurring and synthetically produced. Some, but not all, chemicals can be hazardous for human health following exposure, especially for vulnerable population groups including children, adolescents, and pregnant women. LÄS MER
