Miljömålet “God bebyggd miljö“ är ett av de 16 nationella miljömålen i Sverige och säger bl.a. att innan år 2020 ska det inte finnas några bostäder med högre radonhalt än 200 Bq/m3 luft.

The environmental governance has on several occasions before attempted to ident

För att kunna diagnostisera tumörer i levervävnad krävs biopsier, vilket innebär att en bit av vävnaden med en misstänkt tumör plockas ut och genomgår olika pateologiska undersökningar. Biopsier kan dessvärre ge oönskade bieffekter eftersom enDiffuse reflectance spectroscopy is a method that allows investigation of the chromophore composition of tissue. The objective is to explore if the composition can be used to determine whether the tissue is healthy or not. The measured diffuse reflectance is often modelled by a diffusion model.
