A sound science-based assessment of organic contaminants in the marine environment
Period: 12/1/09 - 11/30/13
The project's aims are: 1) to solidify ITM?s position as a world leader in identifying and evaluating organic contaminants in the marine environment; 2) to provide the Swedish government with the scientific knowledge to take a leading role in international debate, negotiations and policy-making ...
Environmental fate of semifluorinated n-alkanes
Period: 1/1/07 - 12/31/09
Semifluorinated n-alkanes (SFAs) are compounds present in ski-waxes and other products. They are dispersed into the environment by deposition on snow during skiing. Nothing is known abouth their environmental fate after this, although other fluorinated compounds like perfluorooctane sulfonate ...
Mass balance of perfluorinated alkyl substances in the Baltic Sea
Period: 1/1/08 - 12/31/10
Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have been produced for more than 50 years and are today ubiquitous in the environment. Ionic PFAS are surfactants and tend to accumulate in the water phase. Due to their unique physico-chemical properties, theories on PFAS’s transport pathways and fate in the ...
