  1. 1. Effects of Natural Organic Matter on Herbicide Adsorption to Activated Carbon

    Författare :Åsa Edell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; natural organic matter; herbicide; adsorption isotherm; preloading; activated carbon; competitive interaction;

    Sammanfattning : The presence of pesticides in the aquatic environment represents a potential threat to water quality and human health. Increasingly stringent drinking water quality directives focus on the need for efficient pesticide removal processes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Molecular Breeding of Sugar Beet, Transformation, Transgene silencing, Virus and Herbicide resistance

    Författare :Marie Mannerlöf; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Agrobacterium tumefaciens; BNYVV; coat protein; CP4epsps; gene silencing; glyphosate; herbicide; rhizomania; transformation; sugar beet; Beta vulgaris L.; virus; Plant biochemistry; Växtbiokemi;

    Sammanfattning : The main objectives in sugar beet breeding, are to improve yield, quality and to develop disease resistance. The disease resistance may be developed either by conventional, or molecular breeding techniques. The molecular breeding techniques include, methods to genetically engineer plants for expression of introduced genes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Ecological effects of pesticides in freshwater model ecosystems

    Författare :Lina Wendt-Rasch; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; marine biology; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; Hydrobiology; community; zooplankton; algae; herbicide; insecticide; pesticide mixture; macrophytes; cypermethrin; metsulfuron-methyl; risk assessment; pesticides; microcosms; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis I have investigated the effects of pesticide exposure on the ecosystem level using various types of experimental ecosystems, i.e. microcosms. The direct effect of exposure to cyperemthrin, a pyretroid insecticide, was a rapid decrease of crustancean zooplankton in enclosures in a lake. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Modeling of glyphosate and metal-glyphosate speciation in solution and at solution-mineral interfaces

    Författare :Caroline Jonsson; Staffan Sjöberg; Per Persson; Bernd Nowack; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; herbicide; glyphosate; surface complexation model; speciation; goethite; aged gamma-alumina; bayerite; manganite; cadmium II ; aluminium III ; potentiometric titration; adsorption; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, PMG, H3L) is a widely used organophosphorous herbicide. It interacts with metal ions and mineral surfaces, which may affect its mobility, degradation and bioavailability in the environment. However, these interactions are far from fully understood.

  7. 5. Structure and function of microbial communities in constructed wetlands - influence of environmental parameters and pesticides on denitrifying bacteria

    Författare :Susann Milenkovski; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fungicide; concentration-response curves; nosZ; nirS; nirK; bacterial activity; denitrification; bacterial community composition; herbicide; insecticide;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses the interactions and relationships between natural aquatic bacterial communities, environmental parameters, anthropogenic chemicals and the denitrification pathway in the habitat of agricultural constructed wetlands. The main aim was to gain fundamental knowledge of the drivers behind the processes of the denitrification (i.e. LÄS MER
