1. 1. A Toxic Legacy? : A Study of PFAS Leakage from Landfills in the Eastern Part of Mälaren

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

   Författare :Elsa Hård af Segerstad; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Landfills; PFAS; Leachate; Mälaren-Görväln; Östra Mälaren Water Protection Area; Norrvatten; Drinking Water; Characterisation; Risk Assessment; Deponier; PFAS; Lakvatten; Mälaren-Görväln; Östra Mälarens vattenskyddsområde; Norrvatten; Dricksvatten; Karakterisering; Riskbedömning;

   Sammanfattning : The growing concern around per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and their negative health and environmental effects have lately become more apparent which also is reflected in the new, more strict regulations of permitted levels of PFAS in drinking water extracted from water resources. However, many point sources of PFAS pollution to the environment and to water resources are still not identified and assessed for risk. LÄS MER

3. 2. Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of electric hydrofoil boats and fossil driven alternatives

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

   Författare :Dennis Olsson; Felix Glaunsinger; [2022]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The pressure on the planet from Global Warming mainly originates from human activity since the Industrial Revolution. If the average temperature would increase by 1.5 degrees compared to pre- industrial level, this could highly affect areas such as biodiversity, food availability and water levels, to just name a few.

4. 3. Export Diversification Effects of Aid for Trade Facilitation

   Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

   Författare :Joel Hellgren; Hilda Klingvall; [2020-07-10]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Improving developing countries' export performance is a current policy priority, and the initiative Aid for Trade (AfT) has become an increasingly popular concept as a response to this. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the relatively scarce evidence of its impact on export diversifcation. LÄS MER

5. 4. To waste, or to resource? A comparative Life Cycle Assessment of recovering bottom ash from waste incineration for use in road construction in Malmö.

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Författare :Fynn Peter Hauschke; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; waste incineration; bottom ash; secondary material; road construction; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The low-carbon benefits and emissions savings from circular economy (CE) strategies are not yet well understood, yet are crucial for global development within Planetary Boundaries. Using the mineral fraction of waste incinerator bottom ash (MIBA) as construction material in road construction is one application of a CE strategy that could lead to environmental gains by substituting energy-intensive primary material and avoiding its alternative disposal in a landfill.

7. 5. Simulation of airborne transmission of infection in a confined space using an agent-based model

   Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Författare :Joel Lützow; Cecilia Mikiver; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Agent-based model; ABM; MASON; measles; airborne transmission; droplet infection; epidemic; epidemiological model; Agentbaserad modell; ABM; MASON; mässling; luftburen smitta; droppinfektion; epidemi; epidemiologisk modell;

   Sammanfattning : As the world observes a new pandemic with COVID-19, it is clear that pathogens can spread rapidly and without recognition of borders. Outbreaks will continue to occur, and so the diseases’ transmission method must be thoroughly understood in order to minimize their impact. LÄS MER
