Rain-repelling fluorochemicals in outdoor clothing are unnecessary shows new study
Waterproof clothing using highly fluorinated chemicals are over-engineered for consumers, building in unnecessary repellency to oil and other stains, when only repellency to rainwater is required, demonstrates new research by ACES and the University of Leeds, UK. The team, who recently published their findings in Journal of Cleaner Production, say effective alternatives to harmful fluorochemicals used in waterproof clothing are readily …
Research on microplastic receives funding
A research project conducted by Elena Gorokhova at the Department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry (ACES) will develop a framework for quantifying hazardous properties of microplastics and establishing their environmentally acceptable levels. The funding comes from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket) and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (Havs- och vattenmyndigheten). The focus on microplastic and …
Stockholm University launches new Master programmes in environmental science
Two complementary Master programmes in Environmental Science will start this fall at the Department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry (ACES). Society faces many daunting environmental challenges. Global climate change, water and air pollution and loss of biodiversity are a few of many environmental changes that society need to tackle. Trying to understand and solve these problems are central and …
