  1. 11.   Impact of vehicle exhaust emitted by the combustion of biofuels on human health

    Magister-uppsats, Sektionen för ekonomi och teknik (SET)

    Författare :Luiza Panosyan; [2010]
    Nyckelord :exhaust; emission; biofuel;

    Sammanfattning :   Introduction: Significant changes in the global ecosystem, together with a potential shortfall in oil resources, have stimulated intense interest in the development of other sources of energy, and most particularly biofuels since these are basically considered to be less harmful to human health than petroleum-based fuels.

  2. 12. Exposure of Caco-2 cells to PFOS and PFOA

    Kandidat-uppsats, Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Författare :Anika Neskovic; [2007]
    Nyckelord :CCM; perfluorooctane sulfonic acid; perfluorooctanoic acid; trans epithelial resistance; 14C-mannitol;

    Sammanfattning : The toxicity of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was measured. When Caco-2 cells from human adenocarcinoma are cultivated on a filter a monolayer is formed with properties similar to human duodenum epithelium. The Caco-2 cells grown on filter were exposed to the environmental contaminants PFOS and PFOA. LÄS MER
