Methodology for evaluation of hazards from solid waste and landfill generated leachate

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avfall har alltid uppkommit i alla samhällen i alla tider. Det vanligaste sättet att hand om det har varit att samla avfallet i soptippar (deponier) på mark som ansetts obrukbar, t.ex. i sankmarker utanför bebyggelsen. I takt med ökad konsumtion och produktion har också mängderna avfall ökat. Anledningen till att avfall och avfallshantering kommit alltmer i fokus i miljA methodology based on an analytical protocol for evaluation of hazards from landfill leachate and solid waste is described. A dynamic analytical protocol, the LAQUA protocol, including measurements of inorganic and water-quality parameters, polar and non-polar organic marker compounds, and toxicity, was constructed. An acute toxicity test, using the brackish water crustacean Artemia salina as tes

Contested calculability: Social struggle and ontological mutations in two large scale golf developments

In this paper I draw on two case studies of how environmental impacts are assessed in large scale golf developments to illustrate the political ecology of leisure and how countrysides are reshaped to cater for elite consumption (McCarthy 2008). In 2008 Trump International Golf Links Scotland gained permission to build a golf resort, potentially the largest in the UK, along the Aberdeenshire coast.

Field trials with in-car speed limiter.

Effects of an in-car speed limiter were investigated in three European countries, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden representing different regions and driving cultures. The study was carried out in urban and surrounding areas. Most of the European speed limit categories, ranging from 30 km/h to 120 km/h were included. The effects of the limiter were greatest in free driving conditions outside plat
