  1. 1. Remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance-contaminated soil and groundwater, using electrokinetic and stabilisation methods

    Författare :Georgios Niarchos; Fritjof Fagerlund; Anett Georgi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFAS; contamination; emerging contaminants; forever chemicals; pollution; soil; groundwater; remediation; electrokinetic; stabilisation; activated carbon;

    Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, are emerging contaminants with a worldwide environmental distribution and a concerning (eco)toxicological profile. The omnipresence of PFAS in various environmental media poses risks to the quality of our drinking water sources. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Sources and fate of plastic particles in northern European coastal waters

    Författare :Therese Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plastic pollution; microplastics; method development; polyethylene; FTIR spectroscopy;

    Sammanfattning : Plastics are integral parts of our lives and have allowed for important technological leaps within society. However, an unwanted consequence of our current consumption of plas-tics is marine plastic pollution and in order to reduce its impact we need to understand its sources and fate patterns. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Regulation of Global SOx Emissions from Ships: IMO proceedings 1988-2008

    Författare :Erik Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; IMO; SOx; global cap; Annex VI; MARPOL; air pollution; ships; sulphur oxides; policy-making; emissions;

    Sammanfattning : MARPOL Annex VI regulates air pollution from international shipping. Emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx) are regulated through a global limit for the sulphur content of bunker fuels (referred to as a global cap) as well as a stricter limit in particularly sensitive areas, referred to as SOx Emission Control Areas (SECAs).

  5. 4. Biotechnological treatment of chlorophenol-contaminated water

    Författare :Hamid Zilouei; Bioteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Miljöteknik; pollution control; Environmental technology; Cell-based biosensor; Fluorescence in situ hybridization; Bacterial community; Two-liquid phase partitioning bioreactor; Photolysis pretreatment; Biomonitoring; Fixed-biofilm reactors; Toxic organic pollutant; Biodegradation;

    Sammanfattning : Widespread presence of toxic and persistent pollutants in the environment, even at low concentrations, causes risks of adverse effects to human health and the ecosystem. Biological methods for treatment of water streams and removal of persistent pollutants are of great interest due to their simplicity, low cost, and mild operational conditions without harmful by-products.

  7. 5. Chemical use in shrimp farming and environmental implications of antibiotic pollution

    Författare :Sara Gräslund; Nils Kautsky; Bent Halling-Sørensen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Shrimp farming is a highly important industry in southeast Asia. A major threat to profitable shrimp farming is disease outbreaks, which has lead to a situation where a large number of chemicals are used to prevent and treat infections. LÄS MER
