  2. 1. Indoor emissions and fate of flame retardants : A modelling approach

    Author : Ioannis Liagkouridis; Ian Cousins; Anna Palm Cousins; Thomas McKone; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flame retardants; BFRs; OPFRs; indoor environment; emissions; fate; modelling; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : A significant number of consumer goods and building materials act as emission sources of flame retardants (FRs) in the indoor environment. As a result, FRs have become ubiquitous indoors raising concerns about human exposure and possible health implications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modeling the global fate and transport of perfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS)

    Author : James M. Armitage; Ian T. Cousins; Michael S. McLachlan; David Ellis; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; perfluoroalkylated substances; global-scale; fate and transport; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Perfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) are persistent contaminants that are widely distributed in the global environment. Despite the fact that these chemicals have been manufactured and used for over 50 years, there has been little scientific and regulatory interest until very recently. READ MORE

  5. 3. Assessing human exposure to phthalates, alternative plasticizers and organophosphate esters

    Author : Tuong Thuy Bui; Ian T. Cousins; Andrew Sweetman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human exposure; phthalates; organophosphates; plasticizers; flame retardants; modelling; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Phthalate esters (PEs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs) are common indoor pollutants frequently detected in environmental (dust, air), personal (hand wipes, diet) and human matrices (urine, serum etc.). READ MORE

  6. 4. From emission sources to human tissues: modelling the exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

    Author : Melissa Ines Gomis; Ian Cousins; Robin Vestergren; Hermann Fromme; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFAAs; PFOA; PFOS; fluorinated alternatives; human exposure; pharmacokinetic modelling; hazard assessment; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Produced since the 1950’s, per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFASs) substances are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic compounds that are ubiquitous in the environment. Being proteinophilic with a tendency to partition to protein-rich tissues, PFASs have been found in human serum worldwide and in wildlife with a predominance of long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxilic acids (C7-C14 PFCAs) and perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (C6-C9 PFSAs).

  7. 5. Forecasting chemical exposure in a changing world

    Author : John D. Hader; Matthew MacLeod; Ian Cousins; Mark Huijbregts; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global change; exposure modelling; dietary change; wastewater treatment; chemical fate and transport; Environmental Sciences; miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Exposure to anthropogenic chemicals in natural and built environments is a threat to humans and other species. Now and through the 21st Century, the world will experience a large number of global changes, including anthropogenic climate change, shifts in demographics, agricultural expansion, socioeconomic development, and an increasing number and volume of chemicals on the market.
