    Sammanfattning : Plastics are extremely diverse in terms of chemical composition, properties and possible applications, and are widely distributed in the society and the environment. In the last 15 years the global annual production has doubled, reaching 245 million tons in 2008. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Identification and evaluation of growth hormone antagonists

    Författare :Linda Rosengren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : States in which Growth hormone (GH) levels are elevated have been implicated in several physiological disorders such as acromegaly, diabetic complications and progression of malignancies. Classical treatments for acromegaly are surgery and radiotherapy but also pharmacological therapies exist. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Large amounts of rubber particles are dispersed into the environment due to tire wear. The rubber contains a wide range of chemicals, including several of environmental concern. The purpose of this th.. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Ecotoxicological classification of ash materials

    Författare :Sara Stiernström; Magnus Breitholtz; Christina Rudén; David Bendz; Olof Berglund; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ecotoxicity; ash; classification; leaching; Waste Framework Directive; CLP-Regulation; Hazard Identification; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Incineration of waste is increasing in the EU. However, in the incineration process, both fly and bottom ash materials are generated as waste that requires further action. A common goal throughout Europe is to find ways to utilize ash materials in an environmentally and economically efficient manner in accordance with the current legislation. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Pharmacometrics to improve evaluation and individualization of anticancer drug treatment
