Concentrations of inorganic elements in 20 municipal waters in Sweden before and after treatment – links to human health
The water chemistry of 20 municipal water treatment plants in southern Sweden, representing various bedrock situations, and water qualities, were investigated. Four water samples, raw and treated, were collect...

Magic, Safe and Smart Model Applications at Integrated Monitoring Sites: Effects of Emission Reduction Scenarios
Three well-known dynamic acidification models (MAGIC, SAFE, SMART) were applied to data sets from five Integrated Monitoring sites in Europe. The calibrated models were used in a policy-oriented framework to p...

Are ion exchange processes important in controlling the cation chemistry of soil- and runoff waters ?
Soil- and stream water elemental concentrations from a subcatchment in the Lake Gårdsjön area have been used to evaluate the importance of ion exchange processes on the transport of cations to aquatic ecosyste...

Modelling geochemistry and Lake pH since glaciation at Lake Gårdsjön
The soil acidification model SAFE was modified to calculate historical changes in geochemistry and runoff since the last glaciation ended at the Lake Gårdsjön F1 catchment 12 000 B.P. Changes in runoff pH and ...

A model for the impact of soil solution Ca: Al ratio, soil moisture and temperature on tree base cation uptake
A model for tree base cation uptake has been developed, dependent on the soil solution concentration of Al3+, divalent base cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+ and H+ ions, modelled with a Mikaelis-Menten type of expressi...

Lake liming in different types of acid lakes using various types of calcite powders and methods
Results from experiments show that instant dissolution efficiency of calcite powder increases with finer particles, and that initial dissolution efficiency decreases with and increased dose. The Sverdrup model...
