  2. 16. Occupational skin exposure to cobalt : origin and fate

    Author : Jolinde Kettelarij; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Exposure to cobalt is not without risk. Besides adverse health effects on the respiratory system, cobalt is one of the most important sensitising metals with a contact allergy prevalence of 2.2% in the general population. Sources of exposure to cobalt in the general population are diffuse. READ MORE

  4. 17. Population Exposure to Organic Contaminants and Human Biomonitoring

    Author : Erika Norén; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

  5. 18. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – unravelling exposure sources and demographical exposure patterns in a Swedish adolescent population

    Author : Jennifer Nyström-Kandola; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl acids (PFAS) is a group of anthropogenic substances, with some suspected to cause adverse health effects in humans. Little is known about adolescent exposure to PFAS, thus this thesis focuses on exposure sources and demographical exposure patterns of PFAS in a nationally representative Swedish adolescent (age 10-21 years) population (Riksmaten Adolescents 2016-17).

  6. 19. Quantitative methods for evaluation of tremor and neuromotor function: Application in workers exposed to neurotoxic metals and patients with essential tremor

    Author : Gunilla Wastensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tremor; neuromotor function; neurobehavioral methods; mercury vapor; manganese; previous exposure; welding; essential tremor; deep brain stimulation;

    Abstract : The overall purpose of this thesis was to investigate the usefulness of certain quantitative methods for detecting or quantifying changes in tremor or other neuromotor functions. Tremor and impairment in neuromotor function may be the early signs of adverse effects due to low-level exposure to neurotoxic metals such as mercury and manganese, and are also common features of neurological diseases.
