  2. 1. Contamination in Swedich waste wood : environmental implications, sources and waste management strategies

    Author : Joakim Krook; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Today, bulk materials, e.g. wood, plastic, steel, and concrete, are contaminated by hazardous substances such as heavy metals, causing environmental and resource problems during waste management. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sources, transport and fate of perfluoroalkyl acids in the atmosphere

    Author : Jana Johansson; Ian Cousins; Tom Harner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Perfluorinated alkyl acids; PFOS; PFOA; Isomers; Sources; Atmospheric transport; Sea spray; Gas-particle partitioning; Volatilisation; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are man-made chemicals which have been observed in the global environment, even in locations far away from where they are emitted. These persistent substances are taken up in humans and biota and may have toxic effects. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hydrodynamic modelling of microbial water quality in drinking water sources

    Author : Ekaterina Sokolova; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; faecal contamination; QMRA; faecal indicators; pathogens; risk assessment; microbial source tracking; Bacteroidales; E. coli;

    Abstract : The faecal contamination of water sources can cause waterborne disease outbreaks among drinking water consumers. To design drinking water treatment and minimise consumer health risks, knowledge on source water quality is needed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tracing anthropogenic Technology Critical Elements using Environmental Forensics : Case studies at Kallholmsfjärden and the Bothnian Bay, northern Sweden

    Author : Stacy Sutliff-Johansson; Anders Widerlund; Kristi Korkka-Niemi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental Forensics; Technology Critical Elements; Sediment Contamination; Groundwater Contamination; Contaminant Tracing; Tillämpad geokemi; Applied Geochemistry;

    Abstract : The rapidly changing landscape of today's technology industry has increased the number of electronic products being discarded. Society is always on the hunt for the latest product and newest technological advancement, thereby creating a constant influx of older model products into fast-growing waste streams. READ MORE

  7. 5. Remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance-contaminated soil and groundwater, using electrokinetic and stabilisation methods

    Author : Georgios Niarchos; Fritjof Fagerlund; Anett Georgi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFAS; contamination; emerging contaminants; forever chemicals; pollution; soil; groundwater; remediation; electrokinetic; stabilisation; activated carbon;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, are emerging contaminants with a worldwide environmental distribution and a concerning (eco)toxicological profile. The omnipresence of PFAS in various environmental media poses risks to the quality of our drinking water sources. READ MORE
