Många avloppsreningsverk har inte den reningen som krävs för att fånga upp läkemedelsrester vilket leder till att resterna hamnar i miljön. Hittills har läkemedelsresterna inte varit ett så stort problem, men på grund av ett mer frekvent användande av läkemedel blir det allt vanligare att högre koncentrationer av läkemedelsrester återfinns i akvatiska miljöer. Några av dom som återkommer högst i uPharmaceutical residues are becoming more appearing in aquatic systems and it is affecting aquatic organisms. A literature analysis was made to determine if biochar can adsorb pharmaceutical residues and if it is more effective than the already established filter material active carbon. This study shows that biochar has good promises to be able to act as a filter to adsorb pharmaceutical residues.

Samhället med dess invånare och infrastruktur är utsatt för ett flertal risker och sårbarheter. Enligt lag är kommunerna skyldiga att identifiera vilka risker och sårbarheter som existerar inom kommunens geografiska område. Hanteringen av risker och sårbarheter i samhället sker delvis genom att kommuner upprättar en risk- och sårbarhetsanalys (RSA). RSA-arbetet ska innefatta vilka risker, sårbarhe

De mest framgångsrika planetbildningsmodellerna som forskare jobbar med idag härstammar från en idé som kom fram för nästan 300 års sedan, under 1700-talet.

However, the underlying size-distribution of the accreted material is poorly understood. When the pebbles and planetesimals encounter a protoplanet, they are subjected to the gaseous environment of the protoplanetary envelope. Because of the drag-force from the gas, the
