Wastewater is tested for coronavirus

Researchers at Luleå University of Technology have participated in a European study in which wastewater was sampled in a number of municipalities in Sweden at the same time and then analyzed for SARS-CoV-2. The approach may provide indications of future corona outbreaks.

Pollutants in urban snow

Snow and snowmelt are sources of surface water pollution, which can deteriorate the surface water quality. The major sources of pollutants in urban snow are traffic, atmospheric deposition, de-icing salt and anti-skidding materials and urban littering. The pollutants of interest in snow and snowmelt are solids, heavy metals, chlorides, organic pollutants, microplastics and nutrients.

Degradation of macroplastics to microplastics upon exposure to sunlight

Jonathan Svedin who studied the master's engineering program Natural Resources Engineering with specialization on Environment and Water at Luleå University of Technology has now completed his master's degree. He has conducted a laboratory study investigating the extent to which different types of plastic debris are degraded due to UV light.
