1. Innovative Bioreactors for the Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Abstract : The development of biological reactors for the treatment of toxic and recalcitrant organic pollutants is a complex task. Firstly, microbial inoculation, acclimation and selection must be optimized to provide the best microflora possible. READ MORE

2. Coagulation process characteristics and pollutant removal from urban runoff
Abstract : Many different stormwater control measures (SCMs) can be implemented in order to mitigate issues with polluted stormwater flows into receiving water bodies. The treatment function of SCMs is commonly based on the removal of particles by sedimentation, thereby also removing pollutants associated with particles. READ MORE

3. In pursuit of clean air through numerical simulations of no-waste pollutant removal
Abstract : As epidemiological evidence continues to mount, it has become undeniable that exposure to high levels of airborne pollutants such as SOx and NOx are detrimental to human health. In recent years, millions of premature deaths by stroke, coronary heart disease, and lung cancer worldwide have been linked to poor outdoor air quality. READ MORE

4. Numerical study on flow and pollutant dispersion inside street canyons
Abstract : This thesis analyzes the characteristics of flow pattern and vehicle-emitted pollutant dispersion in roughness surface layer. In an urban environment, wind flow and transported-pollutant source interfere strongly with buildings and other roughness elements on the surface ground, which results in complex characteristics of flow pattern and pollutant dispersion in 3D circumstances.

5. Reducing Stormwater Pollution - Performance of Retention Ponds and Street Sweeping
Abstract : Stormwater, in this study defined as surface runoff in urban areas, is known to transport large quantities of toxic substances to receiving waters. Therefore different practices to treat stormwater have been proposed. In Sweden retention ponds have become a common treatment method during the past decade. READ MORE
