  1. 11. Trophic transfer of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) by glacial relicts in Lake Vättern, Sweden

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Malin Bergman; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim with the study was to assess if glacial relict amphipods constitute as vectors of transport of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the Arctic char food web in Lake Vättern, Sweden. Sediment, surface water and biota samples were analysed for PFASs using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and stable isotope analysis of δ 13C and δ15N was performed on sediments and biota samples.

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a group of toxic and persistent organic compounds. Their properties make them extremely resistant and they have been shown to have bioaccumulation and toxic properties in the environment and also to biomagnify in both aquatic and terrestrial food webs.

    Keywords : drinking water; perfluoronated contaminants; ion exchange; modelling; PHREEQC;

    Abstract : Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are environmental pollutants used in many products such as outdoor clothing, food packaging, cleaning agents and fire-fighting foam. The substances have been detected in tap water in countries all over the world and pose risks to human health. READ MORE

  6. 15. Effects of pH and Cation Composition on Sorption of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) to Soil Particles

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper
