  2. 1. Sources of dioxins and other POPs to the marine environment : Identification and apportionment using pattern analysis and receptor modeling

    Author : Kristina Sundqvist; Karin Wiberg; Mats Tysklind; Paul Geladi; Miriam Diamond; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; air-water gas exchange; chiral; congener pattern; enantiomer; enantiomeric fraction; fugacity; HCH; hexachlorocyclohexane; homologue profile; indicator congener; isomer pattern; pattern analysis; PCA; PCB; PCDD F; PMF; polychlorinated dibenzofuran; polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin; polychlorinated biphenyl; positive matrix factorization; principal component analysis; receptor modeling; source apportioning; source; source tracing; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Persistent organic compounds; Persistenta organiska föreningar;

    Abstract : In the studies underlying this thesis, various source tracing techniques were applied to environmental samples from the Baltic region. Comprehensive sampling and analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in surface sediments in Swedish coastal and offshore areas resulted in a unique data set for this region.

  4. 2. Primary and secondary organics in biogenic atmospheric aerosol : The chiral study of 2-methyltetrols from method development to application

    Author : Nélida Jocelyn Donají Karlsson; Kevin Noone; Sandro Fuzzi; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; atmospheric organic aerosols; 2-methyltetrols; isoprene; chiral GC-MS; enantiomeric composition; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Distinguishing between the primary and secondary origin of the organic components in atmospheric aerosols is one of the key parameters in assessing the relevance and role of different chemical species in the overall chemistry of the atmosphere. Currently available methods used in field measurements are not able to fully discriminate between the primary or secondary origin of compounds detected in atmospheric aerosols. READ MORE

  5. 3. Enantiospecific Analysis and Environmental Behavior of Chiral Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)

    Author : Karin Wiberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are chiral. These pollutants are generally released into the environment as racemates, but frequently undergo alterations in enantiomeric composition as soon as they are subjected to life chemistry processes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Determination of the Environmental Fate of Drug Substances and the Matrix Effects of Complex Samples in SFC/ESI-MS

    Author : Alfred Haglind; Curt Pettersson; Mikael Hedeland; Torbjörn Arvidsson; Deirdre Cabooter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SFC-MS; matrix effect; ion cluster; Supercritical fluid chromatography; ESI; chiral separation; transformation products; LC-QToF; wetland microcosms; Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry; Analytisk farmaceutisk kemi;

    Abstract : Awareness of the potential problems caused by drug compounds in the environment has increased over the last decade, both among researchers and with the public. This thesis describes the development of analytical methods and their application to wetlands constructed for purification of wastewater from e.g. drug compounds. READ MORE
