1. 1. Pyrolysis of Municipal Sewage Sludge to get a phosphorus rich char residue for soil improvement

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Shahin Shamim; [2023]
   Keywords : Sewage Sludge-Phosphorus-Pyrolysis- Heavy metals; Cadmium; Lead; Nickle; Copper; Chromium; Zinc; Biochar; Heating value; Fertilizer- Thermal conversion;

   Abstract : Sewage sludge is a byproduct of wastewater treatment plants. It is a kind of waste. however, it contains several valuable nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen that are used to rich the soil as a fertilizer compound. READ MORE

3. 2. An Investigation of The Link Between Endocrine Disruption and Developmental Neurotoxicity Induced by Environmental Pollutants : In Zebrafish Embryos

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Maria Revenikioti; [2023]
   Keywords : Endocrine-disrupting chemical EDC ; Environmental pollutants; Endocrine disruption ED ; Developmental neurotoxicity DNT ; Development; Zebrafish embryos; Estradiol; DHT; BPF; PFOS.;

   Abstract : Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are known to cause endocrine disruption (ED), developmental neurotoxicity (DNT), infertility and impaired embryo development. EDCs do therefore impose a threat to humans, wildlife and the environment. READ MORE

4. 3. A Comparative Analysis of Per- andPolyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and ExtractableOrganofluorine (EOF) Using Solid PhaseExtraction-Weak Anion Exchange and Ion PairExtraction in SerumMarichal SalamehSpring 2021Independent project

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Marichal Salameh; [2021]
   Keywords : Extractable organofluorine EOF ; Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances PFAS ; horse serum; human serum; ion pair extraction IPE ; solid phase extraction - weak anion exchange SPE-WAX ; liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry LC-MS MS ; combustion ion chromatography CIC ;

   Abstract : Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) are compounds that consist of a carbon chainbackbone that is partially or entirely fluorinated, with an addition of a functional group. SomePFAS are known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and have therefore been drawing a lot ofattention as well as increased concerns. READ MORE

5. 4. Effects of Environmental Pollutants on Gene Expression and Cellular Pathways in Model Organism

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Shrija Srinivasan; [2021]
   Keywords : DEHP; Environmental Pollutants; Genomics; Plastics; Endocrine Disruptors; PPAR; Pollutants;

   Abstract : The increasing use of plastics has elevated the risk of exposure to environmental pollutants such as plasticisers in the general population, making it necessary to understand the possible long term health consequences of the same. In this study we aim to understand how DEHP affects the gene expression in mice models and if it causes disruptions to its cellular pathways. READ MORE

6. 5. It's About a Day : The Effect of Glucocorticoids on Shifting and Re-entraining the Circadian Rhythm in Peripheral Cells: A Review and Meta-Analysis

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Anton Degerfeldt; [2019]
   Keywords : Circadian rhythm; glucocorticoids; endocrine system; circadian disruption; jet lag;

   Abstract : The circadian rhythm is a rhythm which permeates all aspects of biological life and follows the hours of the sun. The pace of the rhythm is controlled by a collection of neurons in the hypothalamus, called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), whose signals affect rhythms throughout the body as can be seen in aspects of life from behavior down to oscillations of proteins in the cells.
