Plastics can today be found in all environments, and particularly in our oceans. CEC and Marint centrum in Simrishamn have established a collaboration with the Swedish Museum of Natural History (NRM) and the National Veterinary Institute (SVA) to analyze to what extent microplastic particles and fibres (<5 mm) occur in marine mammals that live in the Baltic Sea. At SVA and NRM, dead marine mammals

Densification can cause air pollution and noise and lead to negative health effects. Densification can also conflict with the availability to green environments and ecosystem services that contribute to temperature regulation, water uptake and recreation. About the project  Today most swedes live in cities. Densification of cities is necessary to reduce the housing shortage. To densify a city has

Exchange processes between the terrestrial biosphere and the lower part of the atmosphere are at the core of the global carbon cycle and play a critical role in achieving climate targets. We combine expertise in measuring techniques with advanced modelling of the atmospheric boundary-layer and climate to improve our understanding of greenhouse gas exchanges between the biosphere and the atmosphere

The aim of our research is to provide new knowledge on how environmental pollutants affect natural organisms. By doing so, we want to contribute to understanding the risks and hazards that may arise from exposure to chemicals and materials. Today's high environmental emissions of chemicals and toxic materials put both humans and other organisms at serious risk. But how this exposure affects differ
