  2. 6. Persistent Organic Pollutants and the Environment : A Chemometric Approach to the Study of Halogenated Aromatics

    Author : Tomas Öberg; Bo Bergbäck; Bo Wiman; Jaakko Paasivirta; Högskolan i Kalmar; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : Concern is growing about the environmental and health effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), many of which are halogenated aromatic compunds. The research reported in this thesis focuses on factors determining their behaviour and release into the environment. READ MORE

  4. 7. On the combustion and photolytic degradation products of some brominated flame retardants

    Author : Gunilla Söderström; Stellan Marklund; Mats Tysklind; Kees Olie; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; PBCDD; PBCDF; PBDD; PBDF; PBDE; HBCD; TBBP-A; combustion; photolytic; MSW; Miljökemi; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : Many modern products, especially electronic goods, are protected by brominated flame retardants (BFR). Some of the most common flame retardants are polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE), tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBP-A) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD). READ MORE

  5. 8. What contributes to human body burdens of halogenated flame retardants? : An experimental approach

    Author : Joo Hui Tay; Cynthia de Wit; Ulla Sellström; Jochen Mueller; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; halogenated flame retardants; air; dust; hand wipes; duplicate diet; serum; human exposure; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Flame retardants (FRs) are chemicals added to a broad range of consumer products such as textiles, electrical and electronic equipment, furniture and building material to meet flammability requirements. Most of these chemicals are additives that can continuously leach out from the applied products during usage. READ MORE

  6. 9. Selection of transthyretin amyloid inhibitors

    Author : Irina Iakovleva; Anders Olofsson; Göran Larsson; Bente Westergaard; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transthyretin; TTR; ATTR; TTR-stabilizing drugs; selectivity; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Amyloidosis is a group of clinical disorders caused by the aggregation of specific proteins into abnormal extracellular deposits. Today, 31 different proteins have been linked to amyloid diseases including transthyretin-related amyloidosis (ATTR). READ MORE

  7. 10. Kinetic stabilization of transthyretin and its role as an inhibitor of Aβ amyloid formation

    Author : Lina Nilsson; Anders Olofsson; Elisabeth Sauer-Eriksson; Gunilla Westermark; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Amyloid; transthyretin; amyloid beta; kinetic stabilizer; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Amyloid formation occurs when normally soluble proteins and peptides misfold and aggregate into intractable threadlike structures called fibrils. There are currently more than 30 proteins associated with this aberrant structure, including the Aβ peptide in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and transthyretin (TTR) in TTR amyloidosis. READ MORE
