Under de senaste åren har den ökande oro för de miljöförödande konsekvenserna av konvent-ionell plast lett till ett ökat intresse för biobaserade och biologiskt nedbrytningsbara plaster. Som förnybara råvaror för dessa plaster har jordbruksbiprodukter framlagts som en lovande källa. Denna studie undersöker olika jordbruksbiprodukter som potentiella råmaterial för biologiskt nedbrytbar plats. DettaIn recent years, concerns about the damaging environmental effects of conventional plastics have surged, by which biobased and biodegradable plastics have been promoted as a favour-able alternative. Agricultural side streams have been proposed as a potential feedstock for extracting components for new compostable polymers. The present study investigates agri-cultural side streams for raw material
Plankorsningar, där väg och järnväg möts i en punkt, utgör en riskfylld del av transportsystemet. Olyckorna vid plankorsningar har lett till allvarliga konsekvenser i Sverige.

En oaktsam hantering av kemikalier har länge präglat det svenska samhället. Vid utsläpp till miljön har många av dem givit upphov till ett stort antal förorenade områden, områden som idag riskerar att medföra olägenheter för människor och miljön. Genom att besvara frågor om vilka föroreningar som förekommer, i vilken mängd, deras spridningsförutsättningar samt hur människor och miljö kan exponerasIn this study, a risk assessment has been carried out at a closed fire station and a closed mechanical workshop in the Swedish municipality of Eslöv. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the activities at the sites may have caused pollution and assess how big a risk they pose to human health and the environment. The method being used to evaluate the risk is Method of Surveying Contamina
