  Obanya, Henry E.; Khan, Farhan R.; Carrasco-Navarro, Victor; Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Walker-Franklin, Imari; Thomas, Jomin; Cooper, Adam; Molden, Nick; Amaeze, Nnamdi H.; Patil, Renuka S.; Kukkola, Anna; Michie, Laura; Green-Ojo, Bidemi; Rauert, Cassandra; Couceiro, Fay; Hutchison, Gary R.; Tang, Jinglong; Ugor, Joshua; Lee, Seokhwan; Hofmann, Thilo; Ford, Alex T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Concerns over the ecological impacts of urban road runoff have increased, partly due to recent research into the harmful impacts of tire particles and their chemical leachates. This study aimed to help the community of ...

• Biodegradable microplastics induce profound changes in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) defense mechanisms and to some extent deteriorate growth traits 

  Adamczyk, Sylwia; Zantis, Laura J.; van Loon, Sam; van Gestel, Cornelis A.M.; Bosker, Thijs; Hurley, Rachel; Nizzetto, Luca; Adamczyk, Bartosz; Velmala, Sannakajsa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  The development of agricultural technologies has intensified the use of plastic in this sector. Products of plastic degradation, such as microplastics (MPs), potentially threaten living organisms, biodiversity and agricultural ...

• Microplastic fate in Arctic coastal waters: accumulation hotspots and role of rivers in Svalbard 

  Pakhomova, Svetlana; Berezina, Anfisa; Zhdanov, Igor; Yakushev, Evgeniy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Little is known about the role of remote and sparsely populated Arctic coastal zones in the microplastic cycle. Distribution of microplastics was studied in the Svalbard fjords in June – July 2022 with the main goal of ...

• PFAS, PCBs, PCDD/Fs, PAHs and extractable organic fluorine in bio-based fertilizers, amended soils and plants: Exposure assessment and temporal trends 

  Estoppey, Nicolas; Knight, Emma; Allan, Ian; Ndungu, Kuria; Slinde, Gøril Aasen; Rundberget, Thomas; Ylivainio, Kari; Hernandez-Mora, Alicia; Sørmo, Erlend; Arp, Hans Peter Heinrich; Cornelissen, Gerard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Bio-based fertilizers (BBFs) produced from organic waste contribute to closed-loop nutrient cycles and circular agriculture. However, persistent organic contaminants, such as per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), ...

• Evaluation of extraction and storage conditions for quantification and characterization of silver nanoparticles in complex samples by single particle-ICP-MS 

  Kühr, Sebastian; Meisterjahn, Boris; Schroeder, Nicola; Schlechtriem, Christian; Ndungu, Kuria; Georgantzopoulou, Anastasia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  The extraction of nanoparticles (NPs) from complex matrices and subsequent storage can potentially alter the NPs physicochemical properties and hinder cross-study comparisons. Most NPs extraction methods are designed and ...
