   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

   Author : Nicola Parfitt; [2021]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Plastic pollution is a severe global problem and every year approximately 368 million tons of plastic is produced. Both terrestrial and marine environments are impacted and hundreds of species affected. READ MORE

4. 13. THE ROLE OF WATER PURITY IN EMULSIFICATION AND REMOVAL OF OIL FROM SOLID SURFACES

   University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

   Author : Andriani Tsompou; [2021]
   Keywords : ultra-pure water; detergency; detachment of oil from solid surfaces; washing; cleaning;

   Abstract : Detergents are broadly used in our everyday life for cleaning and washing procedures. They are however, a source of water pollution and can have a negative effect on human health and the environment. To reduce their negative impact, a new trend of using only pure water for washing and cleaning applications is being implemented. READ MORE

5. 14. Comparing radar satellites. Use of Sentinel-1 leads to an increase in oil spill alerts in Norwegian waters

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Ove Njøten; [2021]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Satellite; Radar; Oil spill; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Radar’s ability to detect oil spills through clouds, fog, and darkness is a significant advantage. Oil spill alert services using radar satellites have been in use in Norway for more than 25 years. After introducing two radar satellites Sentinel-1A and 1B in 2015-2016, the number of oil spill alerts has increased by 250% in Norwegian waters. READ MORE

6. 15. Change of heating fuel consumption patterns produced by the economic crisis in Greece

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Panagiotis Patrinos; [2021]
   Keywords : geography; GIS; atmospheric pollution; Greece; household heating systems; heating fuel; economic Crisis; air Quality; satellite data; virtual stations; regression analysis; air pollutants mapping; anthropogenic factors; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The economic crisis in Greece resulted in a change in residential heating fuels utilized, which in turn resulted in a change of air quality over Greater Athens Area. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of economic crisis in air quality over Attica by examining the change in air pollutants’ concentrations before, during, and after the onset of the economic crisis in Greece and to associate this change with the change in fuels used for residential heating.
