  2. 1. Microplastics in the aquatic environment: Insights into biological fate and effects in fish

    Author : Giedrė Ašmonaitė; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microplastics; nanoplastics; plastic pollution; effects; fish; chemical mixtures; ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : According to the United Nations, plastic pollution in the natural environment has been identified as one of the biggest environmental challenges of this century and has become a cause for an emerging international concern. It has been predicted that up to 12 million tons of plastic waste reach the aquatic environment annually. READ MORE

  4. 2. Dimethylethylamine and dimethylbenzylamine in foundries and the epoxy industry : Analysis, metabolism, biological monitoring, toxicological effects and occupational exposure

    Author : Bengt Ståhlbom; Christer Edling; Östergötlands Läns Landsting; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Dimethylethylamine (DMEA) and dimethylbenzylamine (DMBA) are tertiary aliphatic amines, used as catalysts e.g., in mould core manufacturing and heat cured epoxy systems. Health effects such as visual disturbances and respiratory irritation occur among workers handling DMEA and airway symptoms are recorded by many workers exposed to DMBA. READ MORE

  5. 3. Evaluation of postmortem toxicological results

    Author : Carl Söderberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Postmortem diagnosis of fatal intoxications is complicated. Autopsy findings indicative of an intoxication related death are scarce and mostly unspecific. Instead, the diagnosis is more dependent on the circumstances surrounding death, and on the toxicological results. READ MORE

  6. 4. Computational fluid dynamics for dispersion calculation in urban surroundings

    Author : Jan Burman; Anna Rutgersson; Sven-Erik Gryning; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CFD; RANS; LES; Toxicological effects; Synthetic boundary conditions; Stable boundary layer.; Meteorologi; Meteorology;

    Abstract : Increased knowledge on dispersion processes in urban environment will enhance the ability in the society to handle events where releases of toxic substances can occur. Also, the ability to increase preparedness at locations where such events potentially can emerge. READ MORE

  7. 5. Forensic Toxicological Aspects of Tramadol : Focus on Enantioselective Drug Disposition and Pharmacogenetics

    Author : Pernilla Haage; Fredrik Kugelberg; Robert Kronstrand; Espen Molden; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : One of the most difficult parts in forensic toxicology is to interpret obtained drug concentrations. Was it therapeutic, toxic or even lethal to the particular individual that the blood sample was drawn from? Concentrations of opioid drugs are especially difficult to interpret, because of large interindividual differences in innate and acquired tolerance. READ MORE
