  2. 21. Exposure and body burden of environmental pollution and risk of cancer in a historically contaminated areas

    Author : Ingela Helmfrid; Gun Wingren; Helen Karlsson; Marika Berglund; Mats Fredrikson; Mattias Öberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Contaminated area; cancer; exposure; metals; POPs; Consumption of local food;

    Abstract : There are many villages where environmental contamination is substantial due to historical industrial activities. According to the European Environment Agency, there are about 2.5 million potentially contaminated sites in the European member states. In Sweden, there are about 80 000 more or less contaminated areas. READ MORE

  4. 22. On the logic of pattern cutting : foundational cuts and approximations of the body

    Author : Rickard Lindqvist; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Textiles and fashion; Textiles and Fashion General ; Textil och mode generell ;

    Abstract : Fashion designers are presented with a range of different principles for pattern cutting and the interest in this area has grown rapidly over the past few years, both due to the publication of a number of works dealing with the subject in different ways and the fact that a growing number of designers emphasise cutting in their practices. Although a range of principles and concepts for pattern cutting are presented from different perspectives, the main body of these systems, traditional as well as contemporary, are predominately based on a quantified approximation of the body.

  6. 24. Irradiation of members of the general public from radioactive caesium following the Chernobyl reactor accident. Field studies in a highly contaminated area in the Bryansk region, Russia

    Author : Charlotte Thornberg; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medicinsk instrumentering; tomografi; radiologi; Klinisk fysiologi; body burden; Effective dose; Cs-137; urinary excretion; Cs-134; biological half-time; Chernobyl; breast milk; Medicine human and vertebrates ; internal irradiation; external irradiation; TLD; Clinical physics; radiology; medical instrumentation; tomography; Medicin människa och djur ; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : From 1990 to 1998, estimations of the effective dose from external as well as internal irradiation from 137Cs and 134Cs were carried out for inhabitants in rural villages in the Bryansk region, Russia, highly contaminated due to the Chernobyl accident in 1986. The villages were situated about 180 km from the Chernobyl power plant and the deposition of 137Cs was in the range 0. READ MORE
