  2. 1. When the Rubber Meets the Road -Ecotoxicological Hazard and Risk Assessment of Tire Wear Particles

    Author : Anna Wik; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tire wear; tire particles; rubber; leaching tests; ecotoxicity tests; Daphnia magna; Ceriodaphnia dubia; Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata; Danio rerio; toxicity identification evaluation; detention ponds; hazard assessment; risk assessment;

    Abstract : Large amounts of rubber particles are dispersed into the environment due to tire wear. The rubber contains a wide range of chemicals, including several of environmental concern. The purpose of this th.. READ MORE

  4. 2. Ecotoxicological classification of ash materials

    Author : Sara Stiernström; Magnus Breitholtz; Christina Rudén; David Bendz; Olof Berglund; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ecotoxicity; ash; classification; leaching; Waste Framework Directive; CLP-Regulation; Hazard Identification; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Incineration of waste is increasing in the EU. However, in the incineration process, both fly and bottom ash materials are generated as waste that requires further action. A common goal throughout Europe is to find ways to utilize ash materials in an environmentally and economically efficient manner in accordance with the current legislation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Population modeling using harpacticoid copepods : Bridging the gap between individual-level effects and protection goals of environmental risk assessment

    Author : Elin Lundström Belleza; Magnus Breitholtz; Annemette Palmqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Population modeling; Eco toxicity tests; Environmental risk assessment; Harpacticoid copepods; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : To protect the environment from contaminants, environmental risk assessment (ERA) evaluates the risk of adverse effects to populations, communities and ecosystems. Environmental management decisions rely on ERAs, which commonly are based on a few endpoints at the individual organism level. READ MORE

  6. 4. Assessing the toxic impact of chemicals using bacteria

    Author : Jenny Gabrielson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Bacteria; toxicity testing; ecotoxicity; phylogenetic diversity; growth inhibition;

    Abstract : There is a considerable backlog in the testing of new chemical compounds for their ecotoxic properties, mostly due to the lack of appropriate testing methods. In addition, there is a vivid debate today about the test endpoint for many of the existing methods. READ MORE

  7. 5. Integrating biochemical and growth responses in ecotoxicological assays with copepods

    Author : Ulrika Dahl; Magnus Breitholtz; Peter Matthiessen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental toxicology; Miljötoxikologi; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : The understanding of effects of chemical exposure in nature is lagging behind. Predictions of harmful effects of chemicals on aquatic organisms rely mainly on ecotoxicity tests. READ MORE
