  1. 11. Micro-by-micro interactions : Aggregation dynamics, biofilms, and ecotoxicological impacts of suspended solids

    Författare :Sophia Reichelt; Elena Gorokhova; Rehab El Shehawy; Julien Gigault; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; suspended solids; microplastics; bacteria; biofilm; aggregation; ecotoxicology; microalgae; Environmental Sciences; miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing concerns arise regarding the environmental risk of microplastics (MP) and their interactions with biota, prompting numerous effect studies. However, current ecotoxicology methods fall short when it comes to assessing MP impacts. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Cold exposure and health : A study on neurological and vascular hand symptoms in northern Sweden

    Författare :Albin Stjernbrandt; Jens Wahlström; Ingrid Liljelind; Tohr Nilsson; Ellen Jørum; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cold climate; Sweden; Hand; Frostbite; Raynaud disease; Peripheral nerve injuries; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Living in a cold climate is associated with several adverse health effects. The main purpose of this thesis was to describe cold exposure characteristics in northern Sweden, and investigate the associations between such exposure and the reporting of neurological and vascular hand symptoms.

  4. 13. Microbiome Of Ecotoxicity Assays

    Författare :Asa Motiei; Elena Gorokhova; Natàlia Corcoll; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biofilm; Microplastics; Suspended solids; Aquatic toxicology; Daphnia magna; Ecotoxicology; Bacterial colonization; Particle aggregation; Microbiome interaction; Standardization; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Microorganisms are ubiquitous and present in animal microbiomes, particulates, and colonizable surfaces of test systems. From an ecotoxicological perspective, they are metabolically active biological compartments that respond to test conditions, including test substances. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Fluorine mass balance in wildlife and consumer products : How much organofluorine are we missing?

    Författare :Lara Schultes; Jonathan P. Benskin; Michael McLachlan; Jörg Feldmann; Elsie M. Sunderland; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFASs; PFOS; fluorine mass balance; organofluorine; EOF; TF; wildlife; consumer products; combustion ion chromatography; high resolution mass spectrometry; suspect screening; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of anthropogenic pollutants. Many PFASs are highly persistent and have been linked to adverse effects in humans. According to latest estimates, there are more than 4700 PFASs in global commerce, which poses immense challenges for environmental monitoring. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Health effects of environmental lead exposure in children

    Författare :Katarina Osman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :children; environmental exposure; biological monitoring; lead; cadmium; mercury; selenium; zinc; copper; magnesium; glutathione peroxidase; selenoprotein P; serum ferritin; serum cystatin C; GFR; protein HC; hearing; kidney;

    Sammanfattning : Children comprise the most susceptible part of the population with regard to lead exposure. The lowest level of lead exposure considered to cause adverse health effects has fallen with time, as the research techniques have improved. LÄS MER
