    Sammanfattning : Fine airborne particles are associated with adverse health effects in the human population. The aim of this research was to develop and evaluate methods for in-situ characterisation of fine and ultrafine particles and to determine their deposition in the human airways. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Environmental and genetic factors in lung cancer : epidemiologocal and biomolecular studies focusing on nonsmokers

    Författare :Fredrik Nyberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Lung cancer; case-control study; smoking misclassification; exposure misclassification; validation; bias; nonsmoker; smoking; environmental tobacco smoke; ETS; diet; biomarker; glutathione S transferase; GSTM1; N-acetyl transferase; NAT2; hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosiyl transferase; hprt; DNA; adducts;

    Sammanfattning : Tobacco smoking is the major cause of lung cancer. Other risk factors include exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), dietary habits and genetic factors. When studying such risk factors, confounding from smoking presents a pervasive methodological problem. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Asthma and Rhinitis among Adults in Sweden and China : Risk Factors in the Home Environment

    Författare :Juan Wang; Dan Norbäck; Christer Janson; Karin Engvall; Tuula Putus; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rhinitis; Asthma; Home; Dampness; Mould; Ventilation; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; Arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to evaluate associations between selected home environment factors and asthma, rhinitis and respiratory symptoms among adults from Sweden, China and northern Europe. Two studies were performed in Sweden, one in China, and one longitudinal cohort study was performed in northern Europe. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Novel Technique for Analysing Volatile Compounds in Indoor Dust : Application of Gas Chromatography – UV Spectrometry to the Study of Building-Related Illness

    Författare :Anders Nilsson; Christer Tagesson; Verner Lagesson; Göran Strid; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :acrylates adverse effects; air pollution; ultraviolet; indoor analysis; chromatography; gas; environmental exposure adverse effects; sick building syndrome etiology; dust; volatilization; Spectrophotometry; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : It is now generally acknowledged that particulate air pollution can cause respiratory symptoms and that indoor dust particles may be associated with mucous membrane irritation and odour annoyance. One reason for this may be that dust particles adsorb large quantities of gases and other volatile compounds. LÄS MER
