  2. 1. Remediation of mercury polluted soil

    Author : Thomas Lifvergren; Bert Allard; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : soil pollution; soil remediaion; mercury; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Enviromental Science; Miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Mercury in contaminated soil constitutes a wide spectrum of species with highly different properties due to the chemical complexity of the element. Assessments of risk, ecological effects and removal potential require process and mobility studies. READ MORE

  4. 2. Remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance-contaminated soil and groundwater, using electrokinetic and stabilisation methods

    Author : Georgios Niarchos; Fritjof Fagerlund; Anett Georgi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFAS; contamination; emerging contaminants; forever chemicals; pollution; soil; groundwater; remediation; electrokinetic; stabilisation; activated carbon;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, are emerging contaminants with a worldwide environmental distribution and a concerning (eco)toxicological profile. The omnipresence of PFAS in various environmental media poses risks to the quality of our drinking water sources. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pollution-Induced Community Tolerance (PICT) of Bacteria: Evaluation in Phenol- and Antibiotic Polluted Soil

    Author : Louise Aldén; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotics; Bacteria; Community; Fungi; Leucine incorporation; Phenols; Soil; Pollution-Induced Community Tolerance PICT ;

    Abstract : The effects of organic pollutants on the soil microbial community were studied in this work. The main aim was to evaluate the use of pollution-induced community tolerance (PICT) in studying the effects of pollution. The leucine incorporation technique (indicating bacterial growth) was used to monitor changes in tolerance. READ MORE

  6. 4. The soil as a source material in archaeology. : Theoretical considerations and pragmatic applications

    Author : Johan Linderholm; Roger Engelmark; Martin Bell; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Environmental archaeology; Geoarchaeology; Prehistory; Soil phosphate; Magnetic susceptibility; Soil chemistry; Site formation processes; Soil erosion; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen; Archaeology; arkeologi;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with questions on various applications using soils and sediments as sources of information in archaeological research. Human environmental impact on soils and sediments, in terms of pollution, is a well known phenomenon as the industrialisation intensified during historical times and onwards and has left strong pollutive marks.

  7. 5. Appropriate Technologies for Soil Remediation in Low Prioritized Region : Developing Countries and Sparsely Populated Regions

    Author : Henrik Haller; Anders Jonsson; Morgan Fröling; Jaak Truu; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Soil pollution; Bioremediation; Ecotechnology; Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development; Ecological Engineering; Industrial Ecology Developing Countries; Sparsely Populated Regions; Nicaragua;

    Abstract : Contaminated sites in low prioritized regions demand remediation technologies that are cost- and energy-effective and locally adapted. Parameters such as the time frame during which bioremediation degradation needs to occur may not be as restraining as in urban environments. READ MORE
