1. 1. Human Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl : Substances through Fish Consumption

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Welmoed Nauta; [2023]
   Keywords : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances; Human exposure; Fish consumption; Glasbruket; Target analysis; Mass balance analysis;

   Abstract : Human exposure to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) occurs mainly through two pathways, inhalation and ingestion. Dietary exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including PFAS, is driven mainly by the consumption of foods of marine or terrestrial animal origin. READ MORE

3. 2. Identification of photodegradation products from commonenvironmental pollutants using gas chromatography coupled withhigh resolution mass spectrometry

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Vanessa Cajes; [2022]
   Keywords : Photodegradation; Organic contaminants; High resolution mass spectrometry; Identification; Spectral library;

   Abstract : Photodegradation is a major degradation mechanism for many environmental contaminants, both in indoor environments as well as in outdoor environments, and many of the contaminants are persistent and toxic. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the exact degradation process for many of them. READ MORE

4. 3. Tribolysis : – Reaction of Aromatic Halides for Potential Dehalogenation

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Oluwaseunnla P. Adelusi; [2022]
   Keywords : Tribolysis; Tribology; Mechanochemical Processing; Dehalogenation; Dechlorination; Remediation; Persistent Organic Pollutants; POPs; Polychlorinated biphenyls; PCBs; Dichlorotoluene ;

   Abstract : Out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015, chemicals and waste management are obtainable under six. Improper and unsafe disposal of toxic chemicals into the environment affects life below water (SDG 14), human health and well-being (SDG 7), and clean water and sanitation (SDG 6). READ MORE

5. 4. Considerations and Novel Technologies in Industrial Water Treatment - Treatment of challenging wastewater

   University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

   Author : Nils Toll; [2021]
   Keywords : Industrial water treatment; considerations; novel technologies; BOD; COD; organic waste; heavy metals; desalination; Industriell vattenrening; nyckelfaktorer; nya teknologier; organiskt avfall; tungmetaller; avsaltning;

   Abstract : Industriell vattenrening är ett extremt viktigt område inom Miljöskyddsteknik då 60% av allt sötvatten inom Sverige används av industrier. Substanser som PFAS, aromatiska textilfärger, fenol och läkemedelsrester är extra utmanande då dessa kan vara gifta för biologisk rening. READ MORE

6. 5. 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
