1. Method for measurement of exposure to electrophiles : Strategy for identification and exposure estimation using N-terminal haemoglobin adducts
Sammanfattning : We are exposed to many chemicals in our everyday life. Some of these chemicals could pose risks for our health. To reduce such risks, it is important to know what we are exposed to, how much, and how toxic the chemicals are. LÄS MER
2. Quartz in Swedish iron foundries : exposure and cancer risk
Sammanfattning : The aims of the studies underlying this thesis were to assess the exposure to quartz in Swedish iron foundries and to determine the cancer morbidity for Swedish foundry workers. A cohort of 3,045 foundry workers and a final measurement database of 2,333 number of samples was established. LÄS MER
3. Aerosol Measurements as Applied for Exposure Characterization
Sammanfattning : It is important to decrease the burden of disease. This is in part achieved by decreasing risks. The aim of this thesis is to provide a methodology for the characterization of aerosol exposure, which may lead to negative health effects. LÄS MER
4. Estimating children’s exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are highly stable, surface active chemicals, which are water- and oil/stain-repellent. Because of their unique properties, PFASs are widely used in consumer products. LÄS MER
5. Characterization of the MRI patient exposure environment and exposure assessment methods for magnetic fields in MRI scanners
Sammanfattning : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become one of the most common imaging modalities available in modern medicine, and it is an indispensable diagnostic tool thanks to the unparalleled soft-tissue contrast and high image resolution. It is also a unique exposure environment consisting of a complex mix of magnetic fields. LÄS MER
