   Abstract : Do metal particles (including particles of pure metals, alloys, metal oxides and compounds) pose a hazard or risk to human health? In the light of this question, this thesis summarizes results from research conducted on metal particles, and describes the elaboration and implementation of an in vitro test methodology to study metal release from particles through corrosion and dissolution processes in synthetic biological media relevant for human exposure through inhalation/ingestion and dermal contact. Bioaccessible metals are defined as the pool of released metals from particles that potentially could be made available for absorption by humans or other organisms. READ MORE

4. 2. Corrosion-induced release of zinc and copper in marine environments

   Author : Jan Sandberg; Inger Odnevall Wallinder; Dan Persason; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; copper; zinc; marine environment; runoff rate; atmospheric corrosion; chloride deposition; anti-fouling paints; chemical speciation; bioavailability; cupric ions; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : This licentiate study was initiated by copper, zinc and galvanized steel producers in Europe, who felt a need to assess runoff rates of copper and zinc from the pure metals and commercial products at marine exposure conditions. Their motive was the increasing concern in various European countries and the on-going risk assessments of copper and zinc within the European commission. READ MORE

5. 3. Oxidative Dissolution of Spent Fuel and Release of Nuclides from a Copper/Iron Canister : Model Developments and Applications

   Author : Longcheng Liu; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; model; oxidative dissolution; spent fuel; radiolysis; release; mass transport; radionuclide; hydrogen; corrosion; canister; near field; repository; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Three models have been developed and applied in the performance assessment of a final repository. They are based on accepted theories and experimental results for known and possible mechanisms that may dominate in the oxidative dissolution of spent fuel and the release of nuclides from a canister.

6. 4. Development of titanium-copper alloys for dental applications

   Author : Lee Fowler; Caroline Öhman-Mägi; Håkan Engqvist; Susanne Norgren; Eduard Hryha; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Titanium; copper; antibacterial; Ti2Cu; biomaterials; Staphylococcus epidermidis; MC3T3 cells;

   Abstract : Titanium alloys find wide application in the medical implants industry, which includes areas of orthopaedic and dental implants. The reason for the popularity of the material is high mechanical strength, low density, and reported growth of bone onto the material, as well as corrosion resistance. READ MORE

7. 5. Occurrence and environmental risk assessment of antifouling paint biocides from leisure boats

   Author : Maria Lagerström; Ann-Kristin Eriksson Wiklund; Erik Ytreberg; Kent Salo; Andrew Turner; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antifouling paint; XRF; leisure boat; recreational boating; copper; zinc; tributyltin; organotin compounds; risk assessment; biocide; metals; release rate; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : The use of biocidal antifouling (AF) paints is the most common way to prevent fouling on leisure boat hulls. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the pathways through which AF biocides, past and present, may reach the environment through their use on leisure boats and to improve the risk assessment of biocidal AF paints intended for amateur use.
