  2. 1. Microbiome Of Ecotoxicity Assays

    Author : Asa Motiei; Elena Gorokhova; Natàlia Corcoll; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biofilm; Microplastics; Suspended solids; Aquatic toxicology; Daphnia magna; Ecotoxicology; Bacterial colonization; Particle aggregation; Microbiome interaction; Standardization; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Microorganisms are ubiquitous and present in animal microbiomes, particulates, and colonizable surfaces of test systems. From an ecotoxicological perspective, they are metabolically active biological compartments that respond to test conditions, including test substances. READ MORE

  4. 2. Ecotoxicological classification of ash materials

    Author : Sara Stiernström; Magnus Breitholtz; Christina Rudén; David Bendz; Olof Berglund; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ecotoxicity; ash; classification; leaching; Waste Framework Directive; CLP-Regulation; Hazard Identification; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Incineration of waste is increasing in the EU. However, in the incineration process, both fly and bottom ash materials are generated as waste that requires further action. A common goal throughout Europe is to find ways to utilize ash materials in an environmentally and economically efficient manner in accordance with the current legislation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Wastewater generated by the wooden floor industry : Treatability investigation applying individual and coupled technologies

    Author : Sawanya Laohaprapanon; William Hogland; Marcia Marques; Eduardo C. Pires; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wooden floor industry; activated carbon sorption filtration; anaerobic biological treatment; chemical precipitation; electrocoagulation; ecotoxicity; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science; Environmental technology; Miljöteknik;

    Abstract : During the last half-century a growing concern has taken place in the world regarding water shortage and public health associated to water pollution. Safe discharges of industrial effluents and water reuse within the industry have been encouraged and several initiatives have promoted the development of wastewater treatment technologies with the main focus on industrial sectors that generate large volumes of wastewater.

  6. 4. Exploring the ecotoxicity of microparticle debris

    Author : Zandra Gerdes; Elena Gorokhova; Martin Ogonowski; Tamara Galloway; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microplastics as emerging pollutants; hazard assessment; ecotoxicological experimental design; aquatic toxicology; chemical vector; suspended solids; reference particles; crustaceans as test organisms; behavioural assays in ecotoxicology; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : The global distribution and anticipated increase of environmental microplastic (MP) pollution are concerning. However, while the impacts of macroplastic litter on wildlife are apparent, we know relatively little about the MP hazard potential. READ MORE

  7. 5. Vanadium in soils : chemistry and ecotoxicity

    Author : Maja Larsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Vanadium is a redox-sensitive metal that is released to soils by weathering and anthropogenic emissions. Swedish metallurgical slags are naturally high in vanadium and used as soil amendments and in road materials. However, understanding of vanadium chemistry and bioavailability in soils is limited.
