  2. 1. Thin films for indoor air monitoring : Measurements of Volatile Organic Compounds

    Author : Umut Cindemir; Niklasson Gunnar; Claes-Göran Granqvist; Lars Österlund; Magnus Willander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gas sensor; thin film; adcanced gas depostion; sputter deposition; nickel oxide; gold nanoparticles; indium tin oxide; acetaldehyde; formaldehyde;

    Abstract : Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the indoor air have adverse effects on the dwellers residing in a building or a vehicle. One of these effects is called sick building syndrome (SBS). READ MORE

  4. 2. Volatile organic compounds from microorganisms : identification and health effects

    Author : Anna-Sara Claeson; Anna-Lena Sunesson; Jan-Olof Levin; Steven Nordin; Bengt Järvholm; Charles Weschler; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : microorganisms; building materials; VOCs; MVOCs; amines; LC-MS MS; exposure; perceived air quality; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Abstract : Damp building materials are subjected to degradation processes due to moisture and also microbial growth, with both of these giving rise to emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may contribute to indoor air health problems. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate emissions of reactive and non-reactive VOCs from damp building materials and from the microorganisms growing on them, and also to investigate the possible health impact of these compounds.

  5. 3. From hydrothermal carbonization to blue hydrochars and activated carbons : Adsorption of volatile organic compounds and heavy metals

    Author : Vahid Saadattalab; Niklas Hedin; Satu Ojala; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrothermal carbonization; hydrochars; activated carbon; volatile organic compounds; heavy metals; materialkemi; Materials Chemistry;

    Abstract : Hydrothermal carbonization of carbohydrate and biomass is a straightforward method for preparing hydrochars at low temperature. Hydrochars are more carbonized than their precursors. Hydrochars themselves are carbon precursors for preparing activated carbons. Activated carbons are porous materials that can be used for water and air purification. READ MORE

  6. 4. Emissions of organic compounds from landfills

    Author : Cecilia Öman; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The presence of hazardous compounds in waste presents ahazard to the environment both in the short term and the longterm perspective. Landfills containing organic waste canassimilate certain levels of hazardous organic compounds sincethey offer a potential for retention and possibly degradationof organic constituents during events which occur in landfills.

  7. 5. Hyperconjugation in Group 14 Organic Compounds : Design and Property Investigations

    Author : Aleksandra Denisova; Henrik Ottosson; Thomas Müller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 1; 4-disilacyclohexa-2; 5-diene; aromaticity; computational chemistry; conjugation; cross-hyperconjugation; hyperconjugation; group 14 elements; organosilicon chemistry; silole;

    Abstract : Nowadays π-conjugated molecules are widely used as materials for devices in organic and molecular electronics. This is due to the ability of such molecules to conduct electricity. However, π-conjugation leads to molecular rigidness and associated lower solubility, which limits possible applications. READ MORE
