Exposure of halogenated organic compounds via food
The project maps how halogenated organic compounds, naturally occurring yet sometimes harmful, spread through food. The aim is to understand the extent of exposure and potential health effects.
Managing PFAS-Contaminated Soil Sustainably - Co-Creating a Comprehensive Decision Support Tool
The project is developing a cost-effective tool for measuring PFAS concentrations in soil. The aim is to promote sustainable land use through improved decision support, standardised methods, and guidance for professionals working in planning.

Reliable validation of greenhouse gas models and assessments
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.
Is Swedish waste incineration a source of PFAS to the environment?
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.
Unexpected greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment
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.
Sources and fates of methane and carbon dioxide in water discharge areas
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 behaviour of chlorine in soils
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.
Predicting future methane fluxes from northern lakes (METLAKE)
The aim of the research project is to better quantify and develop models to predict methane emissions from lakes.
Drinking Water Disinfection By-products
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.

Rivers release ancient carbon into the atmosphere
Watercourses release soil carbon that can be thousands of years old into the atmosphere. This runs counter to the prevailing view that it is mainly carbon from newly decomposed organic material that is released from watercourses.
