1. Antimicrobials in sewage treatment plants : occurrence, fate and resistance
Abstract : The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified antibiotic resistance as a major threat to human health. The environment has been suggested to play an important role in the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The external environment can act as a source of resistance genes that could potentially be transferred into human pathogens. READ MORE

2. Organofluorine Mass Balance and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Analysis of Environmental Samples and Human Blood
Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been linked to a range of negative health and environmental effects. Regulations limiting and/or banning the use of some of the legacy compounds have been introduced. Consequently, the production and use of PFAS has diversified. READ MORE

3. Endocrine disrupting compounds in effluent waters : Chemical analysis to evaluate exposure of fish
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate if endocrine disruption related to the release of estrogenic and/or androgenic substances via sewage treatment plant and pulp mill effluents is significant in Swedish waters. Chemical analysis of bile fluid in combination with measurement of biomarkers was used for the evaluation of internal exposure and effects in fish. READ MORE

5. Ozonation as sewage effluent treatment : toxicological effects in adult and embryonic zebrafish, Danio rerio
Abstract : Pharmaceutical residues are not efficiently removed by current sewage treatment plant (STP) technologies. This allows for the release of pharmaceutical residues into the aquatic environment. Pharmaceuticals and their metabolites are problematic because they are designed to affect biological processes in non-target aquatic species. READ MORE
