Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Over time China became the globally most important manufacturer of chemicals and inherited the pollution problems with production and use of chemicals. The Yangtze River Delta is very much a central area for the chemical production and for manufacturing of a variety of chemical products, materials and goods. A science based cooperation between researchers from Tongji University, Stockholm University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History started to develop in the first decade of the present century. The cooperation was aimed to improve the understanding of chemical pollutants and their influence on wildlife and humans in the Yangtze River Delta area, to generate novel data and establish advanced chemical monitoring programs.Chemical Pollution — Challenges in the Yangtze River Delta is the first scientific report of the Chemstrres project, "Swedish-Chinese chemical pollution stress and risks research program in the Yangtze River Delta region". The project has been funded by the Swedish Research Council. This book covers the essentials of the natural, social, economic, and chemical environments of the Yangtze River Delta, as well as an up-to-date, introduction of the research activities and highlights within Chemstrres. The book is aimed to attract readers from all sectors of society; vivid graphics and diagrams can be found throughout the text. Both Chemstrres project and this book are expected to bring scientists and decision makers closer together, to enable science based management for improved human health and environmental prosperity.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Chemical Pollution — Challenges in the Yangtze River Delta: Communication Brief is the second and final scientific report of the Chemstrres project. This book covers the results of the cooperation in relation to scientific output, collaborative results and interaction and higher educational achievements including the construction of joint facilities, the Yangtze Environmental Specimen Bank and extended science based exchange. The book is a follow up on Chemical Pollution — Challenges in the Yangtze River Delta (DiVA, id: diva2:1138019). Main results of the ten subprojects performed are given in the book, addressing: i. ecotoxicology studies with the pond snail; ii: on chlorinated paraffins and iii: establishment of the pond snail as a research monitoring species in the Yangtze River Delta. Further. iv: drinking water contaminants were studied in a screening project; v: pollutants in sewage sludge as a mirror of human activities, as well; vi: assessments of persistent and bioaccumulative compounds in wildlife from the Yangtze River Delta were performed; vii: heron eggs were analysed to determine the environmental quality in the region as well as viii: monitoring of pollutants in mothers’ milk in the Yangtze River Delta, Sweden and Norway were performed. Finally, ix: investigations were carried out to determine optimal fish species for research monitoring in the Yangtze River Delta and in a subproject number x: chemical pollutants were assessed in indoor dust. Reference to 45 authentic peer reviewed scientific articles are presented in the book.
