  1. 1. Hydrodynamic Modelling of Spread of Perfluoroalkyl Octanoic Sulphonate and Perfluoroalkyl Hexanoic Sulphonate in Lake Ekoln

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Prajwol Prajapati; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydrodynamic modelling; water quality; PFAS; PFOS; PFHxS; MIKE 3 FM; Ekoln; Fyrisån;

    Abstract : Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are found ubiquitously in the environment across the globe.These substances have high persistence due to the strong carbon and fluorine bond. In the aquaticenvironment, due to high persistence, these substances don’t decay easily and are detected on the surfaceas well as in groundwater sources. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling the Effects of Climate Change on Future DOC Export to Lake Mälaren Using a Generalized Watershed Loading Functions (GWLF) Model

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Klara Lindqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydrology; DOC; browning; climate change; drinking water production; Mälaren; Hydrologi; DOC; brunifiering; klimatförändringar; dricksvattenproduktion; Mälaren;

    Abstract : Browning of boreal freshwaters due to an increased export of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (DOC) has been observed for some decennia. Drivers include recovery from acid deposition and changing climate and land cover. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hydrodynamic modelling of fate and transport of natural organic matter and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in Lake Ekoln

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Frida Ekman; [2021]
    Keywords : Ekoln; Natural organic matter NOM ; Total organic matter TOC ; Colour; degradation; sedimentation; photooxidation; PFAS; MIKE 3 FM; Ekoln; naturligt organiskt material NOM ; totalt organiskt kol TOC ; färg; nedbrytning; sedimentation; foto-oxidation; PFAS; MIKE 3 FM;

    Abstract : Societies are facing great challenges with obtaining a good quality and quantity of drinking water in the context of climate change. Increases in natural organic matter (NOM) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been observed in lakes and drinking water the past years, which is of great concern for water treatment plants in Sweden.

  5. 4. Occurrence and fate of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in Lake Mälaren

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Anna-Lena Rehrl; [2019]
    Keywords : multi-residue method; UPLC-MS MS; SPE; organic micropollutants; surface water;

    Abstract : The main objective of this study is to investigate the occurrence and fate of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in surface water in Lake Mälaren over one year, including their seasonal variations, correlations between compounds, spatial and vertical distribution. The water samples were enriched with solid phase extraction (SPE) and subsequently analyzed by ultra-high pressure liq-uid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). READ MORE

  6. 5. The effects of population growth on Ecosystem services in lake Ekoln : A multi-proxy data analysis of a lake core and historical records.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Douglas Kilpatrick; [2016]
    Keywords : Ecosystem services; Population growth; Species diversity; Water quality; Environmental reconstruction.;

    Abstract : Throughout human history man has utilized the environment to varying degrees, depending on technology and population. These ¨ecosystem services¨ have suffered sustained degradation over the centuries, resulting in large investments having to be made to prevent and reverse further changes to the environment. READ MORE
