Archive of Measurement Uncertainties

Below are the accredited analytical methods and their measurement uncertainties listed, since November 2017. For information about earlier analytical methods from 1960s and onwards, see each method .

Geochemical laboratory

The laboratory works with chemical analyses of freshwater. We strive to make a good estimate of the actual concentrations of chemical substances in the environment and thereby gain knowledge of the

Sensitivity testing of Aquatic Fungi to Fungicides (Master)

In this project, we will develop bioassays to evaluate the impact of fungicides on aquatic fungi. The study will focus on single-species, single-fungicide exposure, assessing key endpoints such as

Laboratories

Our laboratories for environmental monitoring have long experience of accredited and quality assured analyses of water chemistry, aquatic biology and organic risk pollutants. The laboratories are

Lignin – Not as stable as previously thought

Lignin is a substance found in wood that has long been considered very difficult to break down in soils. A new dissertation from SLU shows that lignin degradation by soil microbes can be faster than

Nanoparticles damage coronavirus in an unexpected way, paving the way for new disinfection technology

A new way to neutralise the coronavirus and other membrane-surrounded viruses has been discovered by researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the University of Tartu.

Drinking water and health

We consume an average of two liters of drinking water per day. But how healthy is your drinking water? SLU produces knowledge for decision makers and the water industry to support the work with safer

Pesticides in air and precipitation

Results from the sampling of air and precipitation within the National Environmental Monitoring Program of Pesticides are found here. Precipitation is collected in the counties of Skåne and Uppland.

Wastewater reveals increased usage of sweeteners

Analysing wastewater can reveal the usage of artificial sweeteners. A newly published study shows their consumption patterns in several Swedish cities. Researchers recently published a study showing
