Groundwater is one of our most important natural resources. Therefore, it is important to monitor the groundwater and to protect it from pollution. At Hurva, southern Sweden, the local drinking water is produced by groundwater extraction. In this study the potential impact of storm water on groundwater quality at Hurva is studied in a risk analysis. Mapping of the geology and hydrogeology in the

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is important for adaptive immunity where the MHC molecules bind and present peptides from pathogens to T cells.
