Plastic recycling plant as a point source of microplastics to sediment and macroinvertebrates in a remote stream
Kallenbach, Emilie; Eriksen, Tor Erik; Hurley, Rachel; Jacobsen, Dean; Singdahl-Larsen, Cecilie; Friberg, Nikolai (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Microplastic is now ubiquitous in freshwater, sediment and biota, globally. This is as a consequence of inputs from, for example, waste mismanagement, effluents from wastewater treatment plants and surface runoff from ... -
Quantification of Riverbank Macroplastic Contamination in The Lower Citarum River
Hidayat, H.; Aisyah, S.; Husrin, S.; Hermana, I.S.; Hurley, Rachel; Olsen, Marianne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Plastic waste generation has been increasing over the last decades. Rivers represent complex environments where plastics may be stored and remobilized. Studies on riverine plastic, including riverbank contamination, are ... -
Riverine Plastic Monitoring during the Rainy Season in the Citarum Estuary of Muara Gembong
Husrin, S.; Hidayat, H.; Rahmadya, A.; Aisyah, S.; Hurley, Rachel; Braaten, Hans Fredrik Veiteberg; Olsen, Marianne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The restoration effort to clean up the river, known as "Citarum Harum" requires monitoring to estimate both the composition and the volumes of plastic pollution. The objective of the monitoring is to obtain a scientific ... -
Selection of the optimal extraction protocol to investigate the interaction between trace elements and environmental plastic
Binda, Gilberto; Carnati, Stefano; Spanu, Davide; Bellasi, Arianna; Hurley, Rachel; Bettinetti, Roberta; Monticelli, Damiano; Pozzi, Andrea; Nizzetto, Luca (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The interaction between environmental plastic and trace elements is an issue of concern. Understanding their interaction mechanisms is key to evaluate the potential threats for the environment. To this regard, consolidating ... -
Spatio-temporal distribution of microplastics in a Mediterranean river catchment: The importance of wastewater as an environmental pathway
Schell, Theresa; Hurley, Rachel; Nizzetto, Luca; Rico, Andreu; Vighi, Marco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Microplastics (MPs) are considered to be ubiquitous contaminants in freshwater ecosystems, yet their sources and pathways at the river catchment scale need to be better determined. This study assessed MP (55–5000 µm) ... -
Testing of methodology for measuring microplastics in blue mussels (Mytilus spp) and sediments, and recommendations for future monitoring of microplastics (R & D-project)
Lusher, Amy; Bråte, Inger Lise Nerland; Hurley, Rachel; Iversen, Karine; Olsen, Marianne (NIVA-rapport;7209, Research report, 2017-12)Miljødirektoratet tasked NIVA to investigate methods used for the extraction of microplastics from environmental samples of blue mussels and marine sediment. Presented here are the results of methods tested, as well as ... -
Towards sustainable waste management in Myanmar – key results from the project ‘Capacity building on waste management in the Bago Region’
Nesheim, Ingrid; Szulecka, Julia; Baann, Cecilie; Hurley, Rachel; Nøklebye, Emmy; Phoo, May Thazin; Plassnig, Sara Noémie; Rognerud, Idun; San, Kyaw Min; Snekkevik, Vilde Kloster; Adam, Hans Nicolai (NIVA-rapport;7923-2023, Report, 2023)This report presents key results from the project ‘Capacity building on waste management in the Bago Region’. It synthesizes primary and secondary data on various aspects of waste management in the Bago Township, including ... -
Transfer and transport of microplastics from biosolids to agricultural soils and the wider environment
Crossman, Jill; Hurley, Rachel; Futter, Martyn N.; Nizzetto, Luca (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Between April to November of 2017, microplastics (MPs) were analysed in biosolids from two separate suppliers, and in the soils of three agricultural fields to which they were applied, in Ontario, Canada. Soils of a control ...
