  • First intercomparison study on the analysis of oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (oxy-PAHs) and nitrogen heterocyclic polycyclic aromatic compounds (N-PACs) in contaminated soil
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: TrAC. Trends in analytical chemistry. - : Elsevier. - 0165-9936 .- 1879-3142. ; 57, s. 83-92

    • Oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (oxy-PAHs) and nitrogen heterocyclic polycyclic aromatic compounds (N-PACs) are toxic, highly leachable and often abundant at sites that are also contaminated with PAHs. However, due to lack of regulations and standardized methods for their analysis, they are seldom included in monitoring and risk-assessment programs. This intercomparison study constitutes an important step in the harmonization of the analytical methods currently used, and may also be considered a first step towards the certification of reference materials for these compounds. The results showed that the participants were able to determine oxy-PAHs with accuracy similar to PAHs, with average determined mass fractions agreeing well with the known levels in a spiked soil and acceptable inter- and intra-laboratory precisions for all soils analyzed. For the N-PACs, the results were less satisfactory, and have to be improved by using analytical methods more specifically optimized for these compounds.

  • 14th congress of combustion by-products and their health effects-origin, fate, and health effects of combustion-related air pollutants in the coming era of bio-based energy sources
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Environmental Science and Pollution Research. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0944-1344 .- 1614-7499. ; 23:8, s. 8141-8159

    • The 14th International Congress on Combustion By-Products and Their Health Effects was held in UmeAyen, Sweden from June 14th to 17th, 2015. The Congress, mainly sponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Superfund Research Program and the Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning, focused on the Origin, fate and health effects of combustion-related air pollutants in the coming era of bio-based energy sources. The international delegates included academic and government researchers, engineers, scientists, policymakers and representatives of industrial partners. The Congress provided a unique forum for the discussion of scientific advances in this research area since it addressed in combination the health-related issues and the environmental implications of combustion by-products. The scientific outcomes of the Congress included the consensus opinions that: (a) there is a correlation between human exposure to particulate matter and increased cardiac and respiratory morbidity and mortality; (b) because currently available data does not support the assessment of differences in health outcomes between biomass smoke and other particulates in outdoor air, the potential human health and environmental impacts of emerging air-pollution sources must be addressed. Assessment will require the development of new approaches to characterize combustion emissions through advanced sampling and analytical methods. The Congress also concluded the need for better and more sustainable e-waste management and improved policies, usage and disposal methods for materials containing flame retardants.

  • The 'innate' host response protects and damages the infected urinary tract
  • 2001
  • Ingår i: Annals of Medicine. - 1365-2060. ; 33:9, s. 563-570
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Symptoms of infection and tissue pathology are caused by the host response; not by the microbe per se. The same response is also critical for the defence and is needed to clear infection. It is therefore essential to understand how the host response is activated and to identify the critical effector mechanisms of the defence. We have studied these issues in the urinary tract infection (UTI) model. The symptoms of UTI and the host defence both rely on the so-called 'innate' immune system, making this one of the best characterized human disease models of 'innate immunity. We discuss the critical molecular events that determine whether the host response will be activated by P-fimbriated uropathogenic Escherichia coli as well as factors determining whether the patient develops acute pyelonephritis or asymptomatic bacteriuria. We will describe the glycoconjugate receptors used by the P-fimbriated bacteria adhering to host tissues, the recruitment of TLR4 co-receptors and the signalling pathways that allow progression to symptomatic disease, and discuss how these mechanisms are altered in asymptomatic carriers, presenting the possible genetic basis for unresponsiveness. We have shown that neutrophils are the critical effectors of the host defence and that neutrophil dysfunctions lead to acute pyelonephritis and renal scarring. Here we discuss the mechanisms of neutrophil-mediated, chemokine receptor (CXCR1)-dependent clearance, and the defect in interleukin-8 receptor homolog knock-out (IL-8Rh KO) mice and describe the data linking low CXCR1 expression to recurrent pyelonephritis in man, as well as the information on the genetic basis for low CXCR1 expression in affected patients. Finally, the mechanisms of renal scarring in IL8Rh KO mice will be discussed in relation to human disease. Our studies hold the promise to provide a molecular and genetic explanation for disease susceptibility in some patients with UTI and to offer more precise tools for the diagnosis and therapy of these infections.
