8. Resource and Environmental Impacts of Resource-Efficiency Measures Applied to Electronic Products
Abstract : Natural resources such as ecosystems, land, water and metals underpin the functioning of economies and human well-being, and are becoming increasingly scarce due to growth in population and affluence. Metals are increasingly demanded for their specific properties as modern technology develops. READ MORE

9. From removal of organic micropollutants to municipal wastewater reuse - technological and social perspectives
Abstract : In this thesis, wastewater reuse was investigated from technological and social perspectives, based onwhich the thesis was divided into two parts. In the first part, the removal of chemical and microbialcontaminants by full-scale and pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, in different processcombinations, was examined. READ MORE

10. Subsurface dams in water resource management : methods for assessment and location
Abstract : Natural groundwater storage can be improved by constructing a subsurface barrier that is a subsurface dam, in order to capture the subsurface flows and raise the groundwater levels (GWLs) in the sediment layers. Subsurface dams are preferable to surface dams because of lower evaporation, higher functionality, lower cost of construction, lessened risk for contamination and the possibility of utilizing land over the dam.
