  2. 6. Contributions to Emission, Exposure and Risk Assessment of Nanomaterials

    Author : Rickard Arvidsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticles; particle flow analysis; emission assessment; titanium dioxide; graphene; silver; risk assessment; exposure assessment; Nanomaterials; substance flow analysis.;

    Abstract : In recent years, synthetic nanomaterials have begun to be produced and used in increasingly larger volumes. These materials may cause new or increased risks to the environment, but no harmonized methods for structured assessment of their environmental risks exist. READ MORE

  4. 7. Substance Flow Analysis for Environmental Management in Local Authorities : method development and context

    Author : Annica Lindqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the use of Substance Flow Analysis (SFA) in Swedish local authorities. The tool of SFA is often claimed to be supportive of decision-making, since it provides information about sources of emissions and relates these to actors and activities in society. READ MORE

  5. 8. Environmental Imprint of Human Food Consumption : Linköping, Sweden 1870 - 2000

    Author : Tina-Simone Schmid Neset; Ulrik Lohm; Susanne Kytzia; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; food consumption; 19th and 20th century; Sweden; material flow analysis; MFA ; substance flow analysis; nitrogen; phosphorus; spatial imprint; lantbruk; miljöaspekter; livsmedelsindustri; livsmedelskonsumtion; markanvändning; Östergötland; 1800-talet; Food science; Livsmedelsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Human food consumption has changed from the late 19th century to the turn of the millennium, and so has the need for resources to sustain this consumption. For the city of Linköping, situated in southeastern Sweden, the environmental imprint of an average inhabitant’s food consumption is studied from the year 1870 to the year 2000. READ MORE

  6. 9. Diffuse emissions from goods : influences on some societal end products

    Author : Jennie Amneklev; Bo Bergbäck; Hans-Bertil Wittgren; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arsenic; bismuth; CCA-treated wood; copper; material flow analysis; silver; substance flow analysis; urban flows; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

    Abstract : End products of society (e.g. sewage sludge and incineration ashes) can be used as indicators of the use of chemicals in consumer goods. Through upstream work the sources of substances released from goods may be identified before the emissions reach the end products. READ MORE

  7. 10. Environmental Assessment of Battery Systems: Critical Issues for Established and Emerging Technologies

    Author : Carl Johan Rydh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; photovoltaic cells; battery; environmental indicators; substance flow analysis; energy analysis; metal recycling; energy efficiency; materials management; rechargeable; life cycle assessment; renewable energy;

    Abstract : Energy and material flows associated with portable and industrial rechargeable batteries have been quantified in a life-cycle perspective, as guidance for development of battery systems. The study included portable batteries based on nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion. READ MORE
