  1. 1. If Trees Could Talk - Dendrochemistry, a Promising Method for Understanding Pollution History

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jonatan Uusitalo; [2023-08-17]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Heavy metal pollution presents a significant environmental challenge in the Anthropocene era, and understanding pollution history is crucial to address historical pollution and implementing effective mitigation measures. This study stands among a few comprehensive dendrochemical investigations that utilized an extensive dataset and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique to reconstruct the contamination history of As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, with a focus on Cu.

  3. 2. Modeling PFAS Transport in Groundwater - Exploring current approaches and evaluating parameter importance

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Author : Clara Eklund; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS; Groundwater modeling; FEFLOW; Python; Machine learning; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : PFAS contamination in drinking water is a current problem, and new regulations for drinking water limits were recently implemented in each member country of the EU in January this year. Understanding the spread of PFAS in groundwater is therefore important to prevent it from reaching drinking water sources. READ MORE

  5. 4. PFAS Contamination in Groundwater; Evaluating Factors Influencing the Impact of PFAS Contamination on the Drinking Water Source in a Holistic Approach _________________________

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Anna Söderman; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS; Contamination; Firefighting Foam; Groundwater; Drinking Water; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Aqueuous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) containing Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) is one of the major sources of groundwater contamination in Sweden. Groundwater contamination caused by the use of AFFF in correlation to fire training events was investigated in Kallinge, Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterisation and Identification of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and the Impact of Different Culturing Media

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Sana Said Yahya; [2023]
    Keywords : Culturing media; Fetal bovine serum; Human serum; Cell proliferation; In-vitro differentiation;

    Abstract : Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into various cell types and possess immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, making them interesting candidates for therapeutic applications. MSCs are present in small quantities in tissues like bone marrow and therefore need to be expanded while preserving their essential characteristics. READ MORE
