1. Microbial Degradation of Toxaphene
Sammanfattning : This works deals with the degradation of a group of recalcitrant compounds known as toxaphene. Toxaphene is a complex mixture of chlorinated compounds including hexa- and octachlorocamphenes, hepta-, nona- and decachlorobornanes. Some components of toxaphene are very persistent while others are degraded rapidly by both abiotic and biotic processes. LÄS MER
2. Studies on the fate and biological effects of toxaphene (polychlorinated terpenes) in vitro and in vivo
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Persistent halogenated pollutants in mothers´ milk
Sammanfattning : Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are substances that degrade slowly, are distributed wotldwide, bioaccumulate and are harmful to both animals and humans. The release of POPs to the environment was the preamble to human background contamination. LÄS MER
4. Soil Remediation and Sustainable Development : Creating Appropriate Solutions for Marginalized Regions
Sammanfattning : The scope of this doctoral thesis is appropriate soil remediation methods for marginalized regions that go beyond pollution reduction targets and include strategies to support sustainable development. Contaminated soil from industrial or agricultural activities poses potential health threats to animals and humans and also threatens economic systems by making land unsuitable for agriculture and other economic purposes.

5. Fungal Redox Enzymes Involved in the Oxidation of Organic Pollutants
Sammanfattning : This work describes the degradation of nonylphenol, toxaphene, phenanthrene, benzo[a]pyrene and dyes using fungi and their redox enzymes. Two fungi, Bjerkandera sp. strain BOL13 and Fusarium sp. strain BOL35 were isolated from different geographic area in Bolivia. LÄS MER
