Möjligt miljö- och hälsofarliga ämnen i smink PFAS är samlingsnamnet på en stor grupp icke-naturliga fluorbaserade ämnen som bland annat fick stor uppmärksamhet när dricksvattnet i Kallinge visade sig vara starkt förorenat. På grund av sina användbara egenskaper används ämnena i en stor mängd produkter, både i hemmet och inom industrin. Samtidigt har forskning visat att flera PFAS är giftiga och Poly- or perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) have characteristics of being temperature resistant and film-forming as well as being both water-, dirt and fatretardant. These substances are used both industrially and in consumer products like cosmetics, simultaneously the detected levels of PFAS are rising in the Swedish environment and there is concern since several PFAS are toxic, bioaccumu

There are over 65 million people all over the world, fleeing from war and other conflicts.

This paper uses a recently developed methodology to investigate the spatial and temporal diffusion patterns of a shock to the regional house markets in Sweden. We model the change in regional house prices such that they are allowed to be contemporaneously affected by price changes in the dominant region – Stockholm - as well as being allowed to be subject to a cointegrated relationship with its ne

Alkali metal atoms, especially sodium and potassium, show an intense fluorescence in hot flue gases. The bright fluorescence emitted by alkali metal atoms offers a large potential for spectroscopic combustion analysis. In this thesis, the temperature dependence of the two-component fluorescence intensity ratio Na/K, as well as the three-component ratio Na·Li/K2 was investigated in the flames with
