  3. 22. Records of environmental change and sedimentation processes over the last century in a Baltic coastal inlet

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Hanna Nilsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Baltic Sea; eutrophication; coastal areas; archipelago; laminated sediments; nutrient inputs; carbon and nitrogen content; biogenic silica; sedimentation; environmental impact; marine geology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The marine ecosystem in the Baltic Sea is affected by multiple stress factors, e.g. eutrophication and deoxygenation, overfishing and anthropogenic pollution. Here we evaluate the short-term trends of dissolved oxygen in bottom waters and changes in the primary productivity within a coastal inlet in the Baltic Sea. READ MORE

Regulations of point-sources have decreased nutrient levels, but for a scattered source of nutrient pollution, streams are important. READ MORE

  6. 25. Indoor Air Pollution, Passive Ventilation Strategies and Thermal Comfort in Nepal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Marianne Löwgren; [2019]
    Keywords : Energy poverty; Solid biomass fuels; Improved cooking stoves; Indoor air pollution; Carbon monoxide; Vernacular architecture; Passive ventilation; Air exchange rate; Indoor air quality; Thermal comfort; Operative temperature; Sustainable societal development; Social Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) resulting from indoor burning of solid biomass fuels in poorly ventilated kitchens is a severe health risk in parts of the world where energy poverty is prevalent. Passive ventilation, i.e. taking advantage of naturally induced airflow has been suggested as crucial in reducing IAP levels below safe limits. READ MORE
