This project develops environmental chemistry modules for high schools. With audio, video, exercises, and experiments, it helps students and teachers explore chemicals’ role in society and environmental issues.

Is waste incineration a source of PFAS in the environment? This project examines how effectively PFAS breaks down during municipal incineration and whether new compounds form.

Virtual Worlds explores the role of digital technologies in managing climate change and biodiversity loss. The program reviews how technology can improve environmental governance and include local knowledge for sustainable development.

New technology reveals hidden greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment plants. The research shows 90% of emissions are missed in standard measurements. This project aims to identify effective ways to reduce emissions.

This research explores how methane from radioactive waste moves through groundwater and whether it reaches the atmosphere or converts to carbon dioxide—key knowledge for risk assessment.

The project develops new methods to improve the validation of greenhouse gas models and assessments. The focus is on creating cost-effective, mobile, and high-resolution methods for measuring greenhouse gas fluxes and land use.

Radioactive chlorine is part of the waste from nuclear power plants. It has a long half-life of 300 000 years, is highly mobile and bioavailable. In cooperation with e.g. French Nuclear Safety Authority, we examine the chlorine cycling in nature.

Projektet utvecklar nya metoder för storskaliga växthusgasflödesmätningar med drönare, för att noggrant kvantifiera flöden av metan, lustgas och koldioxid. Detta möjliggör bättre bedömningar och reglering av klimatkänsliga utsläpp från landskap.

Disinfection of drinking water is necessary in order to reduce the risk of disease transmission, but instead it provides byproducts that can be toxic and carcinogenic. With new analytical methods, the production of such byproducts can be examined.

The efficiency of biological, chemical and physical pre-treatments on methane production is being evaluated through a meta-analysis in order to evaluate what pre-treatments alone or combine result in a higher methane yield.
