  2. 1. Characterization of Aerosols Related to Occupational and Public Environments as Applied to Isocyanates and Road Wear

    Author : Andreas Dahl; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to characterize a personal denuder/filter sampler for isocyanate aerosol and to study the emission of airborne particles from the interaction between studded tires and pavements. Both types of aerosols are highly relevant for health studies in public and occupational environments. READ MORE

  4. 2. Improved health economic assessments of sustainable transport solutions in urban environments

    Author : Hedi Katre Kriit; Johan Nilsson Sommar; Joacim Rocklöv; Martin Andersson; Joel Schwartz; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; active commuting; electric vehicles; air pollution; particle matter; physical activity; morbidity; mortality; health economic evaluation; epidemiologi; Epidemiology; Public health; folkhälsa; sustainable development; hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : Introduction: Part of the European Strategy to achieve climate neutrality in the transport sector is to increase the proportion of electric vehicles (EVs) and active commuting. Health co-benefits from reduced air pollution and increased active commuting are assumed to follow; however, all dimensions of expected health effects are not quantified nor valued monetarily.

  5. 3. Quantification of population exposure and health impacts associated with air pollution

    Author : David Segersson; Christer Johansson; Lars Gidhagen; Ranjeet S. Sokhi; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; air pollution; health impact assessment; dispersion modelling; population exposure; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : There is substantial evidence that air pollution, in particular particulate matter (PM), affects our health. The overall objective of this thesis is to understand and quantify population exposure to ambient air pollution and related health impacts. READ MORE

  6. 4. Motion Perception and Tire Models for Winter Conditions in Driving Simulators

    Author : Artem Kusachov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vehicle dynamics; winter conditions; tire model; motion perception; winter driving simulation;

    Abstract : Many traffic accidents happen due to winter conditions, like slippery roads and limited visibility. The road administrators put a lot of effort into snow removal and deicing the roads. The vehicle manufacturers have been working with functionality to support drivers in winter conditions (studded tires, ABS, ESC, etc.) for decades. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the chemical state and mobility of lead and other trace elements at the biogeosphere/technosphere interface

    Author : Mattias Bäckström; Gunnar Jacks; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lead; trace elements; traffic; shooting range; peat; sediments; speciation; biokemi; Chemistry; Kemi; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Most inorganic contamination has occurred at the interface between the technosphere and the biogeosphere, even though atmospheric emissions have affected the entire globe. Several human activities now pose a substantial threat towards human health and the ecosystems. READ MORE
