  1. 1. The Potential to Target Smaller Sized Baltic Herring to Decrease the Dietary Exposure - an Assessment Based on Dioxin Samples from the Southern Baltic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Sofie Gustafsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Dioxin; PCDD Fs; dl-PCBs; Herring; Baltic; Fishery; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs, or more commonly referred to as dioxin and dioxin like substances are compounds present in our surrounding environment. As some congeners of these have been shown to be toxic, they are regulated under the Stockholm Convention. READ MORE

  5. 4. Improving Caco-2 cell permeability assay using phospholipid covered silica beads

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

    Author : Lana Faradj; [2021]
    Keywords : permeability; Caco-2; recovery; lipophilic; phosphatidylcholine; silica beads; peptide; plastic binding; bovine serum albumin;

    Abstract : The Caco-2 cell assay is widely used for in vitro permeability measurements. However, a draw back with the assay that this study will focus on improving, is compound adsorption to the plastic material. Lipophilic compounds such as Cyclosporin A and Peptide J, that will be used in this study, tend to bind to the plastic material in the assay. READ MORE

  6. 5. Are organohalogen compounds in backwash water from swimming pool facilities treatable? : An experimental investigation of removal capacities by different filter materials

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emma-Helena Ericsson; [2020]
    Keywords : AOX; EOX; wastewater treatment plant; column test; granular activated carbon; natural zeolites; Polonite r ; Zugol;

    Abstract : Organohalogen compounds are formed in swimming pool waters when natural organic matter, such as hair, urine or sweat etc., react with the used disinfectant (usually chlorine). Many of the organohalogen compounds are persistent and hazardous for human health and aquatic ecosystems. READ MORE
