Interactions between pH, potassium, calcium, bromide and phenol and their effects on the bioluminescence of Vibrio fisheri
This study demonstrate that the ion composition and pH of the sample, as well as the diluents, should be considered when the toxicity of salts, water samples and extracts of sediments and soils are tested using commercially certified toxicity test kits.

Dioxin and pop-contaminated sites series research article
In this study a heavily PCDD/ contaminated CP saw-mill site in Sweden was investigated, to assess the exposure through a broad spectrum of pathways. Sampling and analysis of exposure media included soil, air, groundwater, raspberries, carrots, potatoes, grass, milk, eggs and chicken fodder. To calculate exposure for human adults blood serum from site-exposed and control individuals were analyzed. At this site the domination of the specific congener, 1234678-HpCDF, was striking. It could be traced from contaminated soil, through the exposure media and found in exposed humans. The study showed that the PCDD/F, were transferred despite their low mobility based on water solubility. In the future not only levels of combined PCDD/F contamination, but also the composition of congeners must be considered in risk assessment. |

12 European partners including partners from MCN submitted on Jan 5th, the proposal GREENER to EU DG Research. GREENER which is short for GReen and lean technologies for Eco-Efficient brownfield regeNERation, is a response to the call for Environmental technologies for brownfield regeneration, FP 7-ENV.2010.3.1.5-2. Participating partners are Umeå University(Coordinator), Luleå University of Technology, Tyréns and MB-Envirotek (SE),SYKE (Finish Environment Institute) and Tampere University of Technology (FI), Dekonta and ICT (CZ), Reconsite (D), Witteveen+Bos and Bioclear (NL), and CVR (Venecian Research Consortium) (I). The proposal will be evaluated and ranked in a stepwise process during the coming months. If awarded, the project is planned to start in August/September this year. |
