16. Role of soil organic matter for immobilisation of metals : treatment of leachate from MSWI bottom ashes
Abstract : In this thesis, the focus is laid on the ability of natural organic matter (OM) to serve as a metal stabilising agent. The metal contaminants investigated arise from the MSWI bottom ash leachate. Besides the high content of metals, elevated pH and salinity are characteristic for ash leachate that, in turn, can alter the functionality of OM. READ MORE

17. Studies on metals in motor neuron disease
Abstract : A slow but steady increase in neurodegenerative disorders has been noted in recent decades. Degenerations in the nervous system are found in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and motor neuron diseases. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common of the motor neuron diseases. READ MORE

18. Antibiotic Resistance : Selection in the Presence of Metals and Antimicrobials
Abstract : The external environment is complex: Antibiotics, metals and antimicrobials do not exist in isolation but in mixtures. Human activities such as animal husbandry, fertilization of agricultural fields and human medicine release high amounts these compounds into the environment. READ MORE

19. Toxic metals, essential micronutrients, gestational thyroid hormones, and size at birth
Abstract : The toxicity of the metals cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and methylmercury [MeHg; an organic and very toxic form of mercury (Hg)] in adults have long been recognized. It is also well-established that early-life exposure to Pb and MeHg is associated with neurodevelopmental toxicity. READ MORE

20. Environmental and health aspects of corrosion– importance of chemical speciation
Abstract : During the last decades, the interest in corrosion of metals and alloys from an environmental and health perspective has increased rapidly as a consequence of stricter environmental and human exposure legislations, their extensive use as implant materials and an increasing understanding related to occupational and/or daily exposure to airborne particles. Corrosion-induced metal release, however, needs to be understood in detail and to include knowledge related to chemical speciation, i. READ MORE
