1. Factors influencing actors at the interface between the socio-technical and the ecological systems: The case of on-site sewage systems and eutrophication
Sammanfattning : Eutrophication, caused by nutrient loading, is a global environmental problem, particularly severe for the Baltic Sea. Long-term solutions rely on the ability of society to respond effectively. This involves, for example, instigating actors who have the capability to directly influence nutrient loads to take action.

2. Actors at the interface between socio-technical and ecological systems: Analytical starting point for identifying mitigation possibilities in the case of on-site sewage systems
Sammanfattning : The thesis addresses several issues related to factors influencing actors around environmental problems to decrease the environmental pressures. Systems treating sewage at the scale of one to a few households (on-site sewage systems, OSSs) comprise a Swedish case study. LÄS MER
3. Phosphorus transport and reduction in compact-bed filters : simulations and experiments
Sammanfattning : Excessive release of phosphorus from the effluent of on-site sanitation facilities to the environment is one source of aquatic pollution. The primary effect of excess phosphorus in the aquatic environment is eutrophication. LÄS MER
4. Microbial Risks in Surface Water Sources
Sammanfattning : Microbial risks need to be properly handled for the provision of healthy drinking water. The mitigation of pathogens in the water source lowers the risk for infection associated with nominal and suboptimal drinking water treatment. LÄS MER
5. Heavy metals in municipal solid waste deposits
Sammanfattning : Extensive use of heavy metals in modern society influences routes followed by fluxes on the surface of the Earth. The changed flow paths may be harmful for the balance of biological systems at different levels, micro-organisms, human beings and whole ecosystems, since the toxicity of heavy metals is determined by their concentrations and chemical forms.
