  1. 1. Floating treatment wetlands for stormwater management : Plant species selection and influence of external factors for heavy metal and chloride removal in a cold climate

    Författare :Maria Schück; Maria Greger; Hans Brix; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Floating treatment wetlands; Phytodesalination; Rhizofiltration; Phytoremediation; Stormwater; Heavy metals; Chloride; Plant traits; Carex riparia; Carex pseudocyperus; Phalaris arundinacea; Flytande våtmarker; dagvatten; tungmetaller; klorid; fytoremediering; slokstarr; rörflen; jättestarr; växtfysiologi; Plant Physiology;

    Sammanfattning : Stormwater, which consists of rainwater and snowmelt, often contains pollutants from vehicle traffic, building materials, and industries. These pollutants include chloride and heavy metals, which can cause several environmental issues, such as being toxic to biota at elevated concentrations. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Concentrate or dilute contaminants? : Strategies for Swedish wood waste

    Författare :Joakim Krook; Anders Mårtensson; Stefan Anderberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Management strategies; environmental aspects; heavy metals; separation; regulation; market interactions; actors; avfall; miljö; sortering; föroreningar; tungmetaller; impregnerat trä; styrmedel; kundkrav; lagstiftning; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to assess the environmental consequences of management strategies for wood waste in Sweden. There is a special focus on separation strategies and in what way such measures influence environmental aspects such as the presence of heavy metals in the waste. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Aquatic organisms are constantly at risk of being exposed to potentially harmful chemical compounds of natural or anthropogenic origin. Biological life can for instance respond to chemical stressors by changes in gene expression, and thus, certain gene transcripts can potentially function as biomarkers, i.e. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Structuring empirical knowledge on environmental issues : urban heavy metal metabolism

    Författare :Johan Hedbrant; Ulrik Lohm; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Föroreningsfrågor; metodik; tungmetaller; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : During the last century, there has been a large import of heavy metals to urban areas. Only a small fraction, about 10%, has reached the biosphere, the rest is still residing in various goods such as cables, construction materials, technical equipment and batteries, which are still in use or abandoned in infrastructure, buildings, households, enterprises and vehicles.
