1. Development constrained – Essays on land as a factor in nineteenth-century industrialization and trade
Sammanfattning : This dissertation consists of an introductory chapter, four research essays and one essay that describes the collected dataset. The first essay examines how the balance of land embodied in British trade developed during the nineteenth century and provides the first all encompassing accounts on this topic. LÄS MER
2. Improved environmental assessment in the development of wood-based products: Capturing impacts of forestry and uncertainties of future product systems
Sammanfattning : The prospect of reducing environmental impacts is a key driver for the development of new wood-based products. But as wood-based products are not necessarily environmentally superior to non-wood alternatives, there is a need to assess the environmental impact of the product and guide the development process.

4. Life cycle assessment in the development of forest products : Contributions to improved methods and practices
Sammanfattning : The prospect of reducing environmental impacts is a key driver for the research and development (R&D) of new forest products. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is often used for assessing the environmental impact of such products, e.g. for the purpose of guiding R&D. LÄS MER
5. Contributions to Emission, Exposure and Risk Assessment of Nanomaterials
Sammanfattning : In recent years, synthetic nanomaterials have begun to be produced and used in increasingly larger volumes. These materials may cause new or increased risks to the environment, but no harmonized methods for structured assessment of their environmental risks exist. LÄS MER
