More specifically, the goals are to: - Reduce the ... Accounting of black carbon (BC) in the Swedish Marine sediments: How significant is BC burial as a net sink in the national carbon budget? Is BC governing the geospatial distribution of Carcinogenic PAHs? Prof Örjan Gustafsson Period: 1/1/07 - 12/31/09 Acquisition and modification of a Carbon Aerosol Analyzer to facilitate source apportionment studies of soot particles Prof Örjan Gustafsson Period: 1/1/09 - 12/31/09 Advanced tools for exposure assessment and biomonitoring Prof Cynthia de Wit Period: 1/1/13 - 12/31/16 A-TEAM is a major co-ordinated supradisciplinary study. It seeks to develop understanding of a variety of aspects relatedto external and internal exposure to selected chemicals using a single, well-characterised human cohort (the "A-TEAM"). Its overriding hypothesis is that current approaches used ... Aerobiology, a factor in environmental change Dr Douglas Nilsson Period: 1/1/09 - 12/31/10 Airborne microorganisms have been known for centuries, but still there are almost no available data on the number of bacteria, fungi and algae in the atmosphere nor any adequate estimates of the fraction of live microorganisms. We identify a number of environmental change scenarios that call for ... Aerosol Formation and Convective Clouds Dr Peter Tunved Period: 1/1/11 - 12/31/13 The aim of the proposed project is to study new particle formation associated with convective clouds with special focus on tropical environment. Convective clouds are known to be an important source of aerosol particles, but understanding of this process is virtually missing compared to new ... A human lung model system for studies of nano-particle exposure Dr Karine Elihn Period: 1/1/09 - 12/31/09 Airborne pollen allergens - their size distribution and transportation into indoor air Dr Anders Jansson Period: 1/1/06 - 12/31/08 The number of people suffering from asthma, allergy and hypersensitivity has reached alarmingly high levels in Sweden and other western countries, and pollens belong to the most troublesome allergens. Recent research has indicated that certain weather conditions, particularly light rainfall, cause ... Amazonian Biosphere-Atmosphere Aerosol Fluxes in view of their potential control of cloud properties and climate Dr Douglas Nilsson Period: 1/1/06 - 12/31/07 Amazonian vegetation impacts on aerosols and clouds Dr Radovan Krejci Period: 1/1/10 - 12/31/12 We propose to directly measure how vegetation in the Amazon Basin controls cloud properties and how this natural state is perturbed by changes in land use and biomass burning. We will perform measurements from a research aircraft to determine aerosol/cloud interactions over the tropical rainforest. ... 1 2 3 4 5 > >>
