1. Microplastics in the aquatic environment: Insights into biological fate and effects in fish
Sammanfattning : According to the United Nations, plastic pollution in the natural environment has been identified as one of the biggest environmental challenges of this century and has become a cause for an emerging international concern. It has been predicted that up to 12 million tons of plastic waste reach the aquatic environment annually. LÄS MER
2. Dimethylethylamine and dimethylbenzylamine in foundries and the epoxy industry : Analysis, metabolism, biological monitoring, toxicological effects and occupational exposure
Sammanfattning : Dimethylethylamine (DMEA) and dimethylbenzylamine (DMBA) are tertiary aliphatic amines, used as catalysts e.g., in mould core manufacturing and heat cured epoxy systems. Health effects such as visual disturbances and respiratory irritation occur among workers handling DMEA and airway symptoms are recorded by many workers exposed to DMBA. LÄS MER
3. Evaluation of postmortem toxicological results
Sammanfattning : Postmortem diagnosis of fatal intoxications is complicated. Autopsy findings indicative of an intoxication related death are scarce and mostly unspecific. Instead, the diagnosis is more dependent on the circumstances surrounding death, and on the toxicological results. LÄS MER
4. Computational fluid dynamics for dispersion calculation in urban surroundings
Sammanfattning : Increased knowledge on dispersion processes in urban environment will enhance the ability in the society to handle events where releases of toxic substances can occur. Also, the ability to increase preparedness at locations where such events potentially can emerge. LÄS MER
5. P-glycoprotein and chiral antidepressant drugs : Pharmacokinetic, pharmacogenetic and toxicological aspects
Sammanfattning : The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is formed by the capillary endothelial cells, joined together by tight junctions, with transporter proteins. BBB acts to regulate the brain concentrations of substances including many drugs. LÄS MER
