  1. 1. Exposure to some carcinogenic compounds in air, with special reference to wood smoke

    Författare :Pernilla Gustafson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :formaldehyde; acetaldehyde; 1; 3-butadiene; benzene; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; particulate matter; domestic wood burning; exposure assessment; personal exposure; experimental study;

    Sammanfattning : The general population is exposed to air pollutants in both indoor and outdoor air from many different sources, including traffic, biomass burning, industries, cigarette smoking, and certain building materials. Air pollutants can cause a variety of health effects such as cancer and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Elemental composition of fine particles: exposure in the general population and influence from different sources

    Författare :Peter Molnár; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :particulate matter; PM2.5; PM1; ultrafine particles; trace elements; personal exposure; X-ray fluorescence XRF ; indoor levels; air mass back trajectories; long-range transport; domestic wood burning;

    Sammanfattning : The general population is exposed to particulate air pollution from many different local and regional sources. Examples of local sources are traffic, biomass burning and resuspended dust, while regional sources are dominated by combustion processes from heating, traffic and industries. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Particle emissions from wood pellet combustion

    Författare :Henrik Wiinikka; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Combustion of solid biomass under fixed bed conditions is a common technique to generate heat and power in both small and large scale grate furnaces (domestic boilers, stoves, district heating plants). Unfortunately, combustion of biomass will generate particle emissions containing both large fly ash particles and fine particles that consist of fly ash and soot. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Environmental and domestic risk factors for respiratory symptoms in Nicaraguan children

    Författare :Danilo Hernandez; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; * wheeze* Child labor* asthma* allergy* aeroallergens* lung volumes* waste-picking* particles* wood-smoke* burning of solid waste;

    Sammanfattning : BackgroundRespiratory diseases are the most common cause for seeing a doctor in Nicaragua, and the second most common cause of death in children. An air monitoring program in the capital city, Managua, has shown high levels of air pollution, especially small particles. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Source-Receptor Modeling of Air Pollution : Assessment of Source Contributions: Source Characterization and Chemometric Applications

    Författare :Emma Hedberg Larsson; Christer Johansson; H.-C. Hansson; Ralf Torgrip; Paulo Artaxo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Particles; Source-receptor modeling; PMF; Elemental source profiles; Levoglucosan; Wood combustion; Air pollution; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Particles released to the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources affect the Earth’s climate as well as the health of the population. Anthropogenic sources of atmospheric particles are e.g. the combustion of biomass and fossil fuels, road, brake and tire wear and various industrial activities. LÄS MER
