  1. 1. Assessing the thyroid gland impairing effects associated to GenX exposure : A literature study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

    Author : Julia Mauritzon; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS; GenX; HFPO-DA; Thyroid gland; PFAS; GenX; HFPO-DA; Sköldkörteln;

    Abstract : GenX, a newly synthesized per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), has gained attention as a supposedly safer replacement for the long-chain PFAS, PFOA. Given the thyroid gland being known to be a target organ for the health effects of PFOA, it is crucial to investigate GenX potential impact on the thyroid gland. READ MORE

  3. 2. Reduction of Acrylamide in Reject Water from Sludge Dewatering

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Martina Aspegren; [2023]
    Keywords : Water treatment techniques; Ozonation; Moving bed biofilm reactor; Trickling filter; Biological degradation; Lake Mälaren; attenreningstekniker; Ozonering; Biofilmreaktor med rörlig bädd; Biobädd; Biologisk nedbrytning; Mälaren;

    Abstract : Norrvatten produces and delivers drinking water to approximately 700 000 people in the northern part of the Stockholm region in Sweden. In their water treatment plant Görvälnverket, water from Lake Mälaren is purified. During the purification, sludge is produced. To be able to use the sludge as landfilling material, it must be dewatered. READ MORE

  4. 3. In Situ and Ex Situ Study of Nanoparticles Stability and Transformation in Simulated Aquatic Natural Media

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Dinh Nguyen; Jonathan Samuelsson; Vilma Grönvall; [2022]
    Keywords : nanoparticles; freshwater; natural organic matter NOM ; agglomeration; dissolution; genotoxicity; atomic absorption spectroscopy AAS ; nanoparticle tracking analysis NTA ; inductively coupled plasma ICP ; nanopartiklar; färskvatten; naturligt organiskt material NOM ; agglomerering; upplösning; genotoxicitet; atomabsorptionsspektroskopi AAS ; nanopartikelspårning analys NTA ; induktivt kopplad plasmaanalys ICP ;

    Abstract : Nanopartiklar är partiklar med storlekar i området 1 till 100 nm, och som uppvisar nanospecifika egenskaper. Egenskaperna kan variera helt mellan olika typer av nanopartiklar, även bland partiklarna och deras respektive material i bulk format på grund av deras unika storlekar, former och strukturer.

  5. 4. Azithromycin effects on R. subcapitata on molecular levels : Ecotoxicological study on the effects of a pollutant on chlorophyll contents, pcna and cyt P450 genes expression

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Alaa Alsayed Ahmad; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Antibiotics are considered a type of antimicrobial that particularly has an impact on bacteria or fungi in humans and animals. The widespread use of common antibiotics, combined with the fact that the majority of active antibiotics and their metabolites are water-soluble, results in persistent pollution in aquatic environments, as well as a potential threat to ecosystems.

  6. 5. Evaluation of Potential Cytotoxic and Genotoxic Effects of Propolis in CHO-K1 Cells Using an in vitro Version of the Micronucleus Assay

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Elina Rosenborg; [2020]
    Keywords : propolis; micronucleus assay; genotoxicity; cytotoxicity; CHO-K1 cells; mitomycin C;

    Abstract : Background Evaluating potential genotoxicity of pharmaceutical drug candidates is important during drug development. A method that can be used for this purpose is the micronucleus assay (MN- assay) which can identify agents that induce chromosomal damage. READ MORE
