1. Occupational exposure to brominated flame retardants : With emphasis on polybrominated diphenyl ethers
Abstract : Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are a diverse group of chemicals, which are used to slow down or inhibit the development of fires. BFRs are incorporated into a wide range of consumer products that are considered as potential fire hazards, such as TV-sets, household appliances, computers, and textiles. READ MORE

2. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers and Tetrabromobisphenol A : Chemical synthesis, X-ray crystallography and Photochemical degradation
Abstract : In the 1960s’ several manmade chemicals were detected in the environment, far from their sources. The most well known, and most likely those with the largest impact on the society, were DDT and its related compounds, and PCBs. These anthropogenic compounds were characterised as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). READ MORE

3. Synthesis and characterization of highly polybrominated diphenyl ethers
Abstract : Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) make up an important class of brominated flame retardants. The present production is mainly concentrated to DecaBDE but until recently also a significant production of PentaBDE and OctaBDE took place, leaving us with a large number of different PBDE congeners.

4. Metabolism of some polychlorinated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether congeners in the rat
Abstract : For the understanding of the metabolic fate of xenobiotics, in vivo studies are needed. In this thesis the metabolism of CB-28 and CB-77 and BDE-209 in the rat are determined. In addition, pharmacokinetic studies of CB-28 and BDE- 209 are included. The compounds were radiolabelled and their excretion and tissue distribution determined. READ MORE

5. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry of polybrominated diphenyl ethers
Abstract : The aim of this thesis has been to develop accurate and sensitive analytical methods for the determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). It focuses on the development and optimization of gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis of PBDE. READ MORE
