  2. 16. PLE with integrated clean up followed by alternative detection steps for cost-effective analysis of dixons and dioxin-like compounds

    Author : Erik Spinnel; Peter Haglund; Patrik Andersson; Tuulia Hyötyläinen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pressurized liquid extraction PLE ; PLE-C; modular PLE; ELISA; dioxin; dioxin-like compounds; GCxGC; analytical methods; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are two structurally related groups of chemicals, generally referred to as `dioxins´. These are of great concern due to their high toxicity and global spread. READ MORE

  4. 17. Levels of organohalogen compounds in White-tailed sea eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) in relation to reproduction impairment in the Bothnian Sea

    Author : Ulrika Nordlöf; Lillemor Asplund; Björn Helander; Yngve Zebuhr; Michael Mclachlan; Roland Kallenborn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : The white-tailed sea eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is in the top of the marine food chain and its existence in Sweden has been threatened several times. The species succeeded to recover from the deep decline in the 1970s when the exposure to persistent organic pollutants influenced the reproduction negatively. READ MORE

  5. 18. Improved Assessment in Environmental Monitoring of POPs : Using monitoring data from the aquatic ecosystem and human milk

    Author : Elisabeth Nyberg; Anders Bignert; Jochen Mueller; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental monitoring; temporal trends; power analysis; sampling strategy; PCBs; DDTs; HCHs; HCB; PCDD Fs; fish; bird eggs; blue mussels; human milk; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

    Abstract : The thesis deals with several aspects of monitoring of persistent organic contaminants (POPs) in biological matrices, for example choice of sample, sampling design, and statistical treatment of data both for temporal and spatial trends and for compliance towards a set target value. The efficiency has been evaluated through statistical power analyses. READ MORE

  6. 19. Models of the Distribution of Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Marine Environment

    Author : N. Johan Persson; Dag Broman; Kevin Jones; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; persistent organic pollutants; mass balance models; fugacity models; eutrophication; PCDD F; PCB; PCN; soot carbon.; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is a group of chemicals that are toxic, undergo long-range transport and accumulate in biota. Due to their persistency the distribution and recirculation in the environment often continues for a long period of time. READ MORE

  7. 20. Fate and exposure assessment of PCDD/Fs at contaminated sites

    Author : Annika Åberg; Karin Wiberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; contaminated sites; dioxins; PCDD F; exposure; food chain; modeling; risk assessment; physical-chemical properties; förorenade områden; dioxiner; PCDD F; exponering; födokedja; modellering; riskbedömning; fysikaliska-kemiska egenskaper; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans (PCDFs) belong to the most toxic compounds known to science and they are defined as Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) under the Stock-holm Convention. The general human exposure to PCDD/Fs is primarily through dietary intake. READ MORE
