1. 1. Human exposure to organohalogen compounds in the Faroe Islands

   Författare :Britta Fängström; Åke Bergman; Jake Ryan; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PCB; PBDE; OH-PCB; human serum; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Sammanfattning : The Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic are part of the sub-Arctic region, a remote region far from industrial activity. In spite of this remoteness, the Islands are not a sanctuary: exposures and effects of environmental pollutants mar its natural beauty and wildlife. LÄS MER

3. 2. Biology, ecology and anthropogenic threats of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins in east Africa

   Författare :Omar A. Amir; Per Berggren; Graham Pierce; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Growth; reproduction; feeding ecology; bycatch; organohalogen compounds; dolphins; Tursiops aduncus; Zanzibar; East Africa; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the biology, ecology and anthropogenic threats of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) off Zanzibar, Tanzania, based on research conducted and samples collected between 2000 and 2008. Distribution and occurrence are described based on incidental catches (bycatch) in gillnet fisheries. LÄS MER

4. 3. Organohalogen contaminants in humans with emphasis on polybrominated diphenyl ethers

   Författare :Daiva Meironyté Guvenius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The occurrence and distribution of organohalogen compounds, including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), in humans was investigated. For this purpose, the previously used method for analysis of organochlorine compounds was modified for the analysis of PBDEs and hydroxylated metabolites of polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) in breast milk, matemal and cord blood plasma, liver and adipose tissue.

5. 4. Levels of organohalogen compounds in White-tailed sea eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) in relation to reproduction impairment in the Bothnian Sea

   Författare :Ulrika Nordlöf; Lillemor Asplund; Björn Helander; Yngve Zebuhr; Michael Mclachlan; Roland Kallenborn; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : The white-tailed sea eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is in the top of the marine food chain and its existence in Sweden has been threatened several times. The species succeeded to recover from the deep decline in the 1970s when the exposure to persistent organic pollutants influenced the reproduction negatively. LÄS MER

7. 5. Occupational and dietary exposure to organohalogen substances, with special emphasis on polybrominated diphenyl ethers

   Författare :Andreas Sjödin; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental Chemistry; miljökemi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is aimed at widening the current knowledge base about human exposure to brominated flame retardants (BFRs), particularly polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). Data on exposures to some of the traditional organohalogen substances (OHS) have been included for comparative reasons. LÄS MER
