Karaktärisering av arsenikförorening i matjordsprofiler kring Klippans Läderfabrik

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: AB Klippans Läderfabrik var under sina verksamma år en av de största arbetsgivarna i området. Ett flertal giftiga ämnen användes i verksamheten, främst krom men även formalin och under en kort period arsenik. Fabrikstomten kom med tiden att förorenas. Stora delar av fabriken brann ned år 1917 och röken från branden sträckte sig in över ett intilliggande villaomrDuring environmental investigations at the polluted Klippan Leather Factory, elevated levels of arsenic were detected in the adjacent residential area. The arsenic is believed to have originated from a fire in the leather factory in 1917, when a plume of smoke covered the residential area and deposited arsenic as fallout. Investigations showed that the pollution was located in the topsoil, and dur

Omställningsavtal och arbetslöshetsförsäkringen

Det svenska arbetslöshetsunderstödet tog form under sent 1800-tal efter initiativ från fackförbunden. En arbetslöshetsförsäkring under statlig kontroll grundlades först 1935. Den statliga arbetslöshetsförsäkringen, i fortsatt statlig regi, var i princip den enda regelbundna ersättningen som en arbetslös kunde erhålla under sin arbetslöshet fram till slutet av 1960-talet. Ett nytt omställningssysteThe Swedish unemployment benefits took shape during the late 1800s by an initiative from the trade unions. An unemployment insurance under state control became reality in 1935. The unemployment insurance was, during a couple of decades, virtually the only regular compensation an unemployed could receive during his or her unemployment. This changed during the 1960s. A complementary transition syste

Using cross-country time series data for ten global coun
