  1. 1. Metaller i Vombsjön - Mygglarver som bioindikator för miljöövervakning

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Författare :Siri Bengtsson; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Bioindicators; Chironomidae; Freshwater source; Lake Vomb; Metal concentrations; Pollution; Sediment sampling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This study investigates concentrations of eight metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Hg, Cr, Ni, As) in the freshwater resource Lake Vomb, located in the south of Sweden (Scania), and explores the potential use of deformed Chironomidae larvae as bioindicator. Sediment samples from six locations were analysed against threshold values from the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management and background values from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

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

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Jonatan Uusitalo; [2023-08-17]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : 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.

  4. 3. Investigating the potential correlations between metal and metalloid concentrations and soil color : A Minor Field Study on the island province of Marinduque, Philippines

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Ivana Pia Saric Söderholm; Erik Readwin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Marinduque; Metal and Metalloid; Nix Pro 2 Color Sensor; Philippines; Soil color; X-Ray Fluorescence XRF ; Filippinerna; Jordfärg; Marinduque; Metall och Metalloid; Nix Pro 2 Color Sensor; Röntgenfluorescens XRF ;

    Sammanfattning : This study was carried out as a bachelor's thesis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology during the spring of 2023, investigating the correlation between the color with the concentration of various metal and metalloids (MMs) in the soil of Marinduque, The Philippines. With a history of mineral exploitation, notably copper and gold, the island has faced persistent environmental challenges, exemplified by the catastrophic waste spills in 1993 and 1996 that contaminated the Boac and Mogpog Rivers.

  5. 4. Pyrolysis of Municipal Sewage Sludge to get a phosphorus rich char residue for soil improvement

    Master-uppsats, Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Författare :Shahin Shamim; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Sewage Sludge-Phosphorus-Pyrolysis- Heavy metals; Cadmium; Lead; Nickle; Copper; Chromium; Zinc; Biochar; Heating value; Fertilizer- Thermal conversion;

    Sammanfattning : Sewage sludge is a byproduct of wastewater treatment plants. It is a kind of waste. however, it contains several valuable nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen that are used to rich the soil as a fertilizer compound. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Water quality improvement of highway runoff by the filter material D-Rainclean : A five-month field trial

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :William Gulding; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Adsorption; D-Rainclean; metal removal; Reactive filter; stormwater treatment;

    Sammanfattning : Highway runoff and its pollutants are of growing concern. These pollutants require treatment as their concentration often are increased. A common removal method is the use of sedimentation ponds that removes particulates through gravity. LÄS MER
