  2. 11. Lung cancer and occupational exposure to combustion products

    Author : Ann Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer death, is predominantly attributable to tobacco smoking. One of the many carcinogenic components of tobacco smoke are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). READ MORE

  4. 12. What contributes to human body burdens of halogenated flame retardants? : An experimental approach

    Author : Joo Hui Tay; Cynthia de Wit; Ulla Sellström; Jochen Mueller; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; halogenated flame retardants; air; dust; hand wipes; duplicate diet; serum; human exposure; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Flame retardants (FRs) are chemicals added to a broad range of consumer products such as textiles, electrical and electronic equipment, furniture and building material to meet flammability requirements. Most of these chemicals are additives that can continuously leach out from the applied products during usage. READ MORE

  5. 13. Dietary cadmium exposure and the risk of hormone-related cancers

    Author : Bettina Julin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The toxic metal cadmium has been widely dispersed into the environment mainly through anthropogenic activities. Even in industrially non-polluted areas, farmland and consequently foods are, to a varying degree, contaminated. Food is the main source of exposure besides tobacco smoking. READ MORE

  6. 14. Levels and sources of organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers in indoor and outdoor environments

    Author : Anneli Marklund; Peter Haglund; Barbro Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organophosphate esters; OPs; human exposure; air; dust; sewage treatment plants; sludge; oil; snow; deposition; flame retardants; plasticizers; analysis; TCEP; TPP; TCPP; TBP; TBEP; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : Global consumption of organophosphate esters (OPs), which are used as flame retardants and plasticizers, is rapidly increasing. Their use as additives in diverse applications poses a risk as they may be emitted from the products they are added to and be further transported in the environment. READ MORE

  7. 15. Neonatal Exposure to Highly Brominated Diphenyl Ethers and Perfluorinated Compounds : Developmental Dependent Toxicity and Interaction

    Author : Niclas Johansson; Per Eriksson; Anders Fredriksson; Henrik Viberg; Hellmuth Lilienthal; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Ecotoxicology; ekotoxikologi;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated the developmental neurotoxic effects of neonatal exposure to highly brominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), alone or in combinations, during a critical period of the brains’ rapid growth and development, in mice. The compounds investigated were the decaBDE (PBDE 209), nonaBDE (PBDE 206), octaBDE (PBDE 203), heptaBDE (PBDE 183), and three PFCs, PFOS, PFOA, and PFDA. READ MORE
