Fate of microplastics in agricultural soils amended with sewage sludge: Is surface water runoff a relevant environmental pathway?
Schell, Theresa; Hurley, Rachel; Buenaventura, Nina Tuscano; Mauri, Pedro V.; Nizzetto, Luca; Rico, Andreu; Vighi, Marco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Sewage sludge used as agricultural fertilizer has been identified as an important source of microplastics (MPs) to the environment. However, the fate of MPs added to agricultural soils is largely unknown. This study ... -

Lusher, Amy; Buenaventura, Nina Tuscano; Eidsvoll, David; Thrane, Jan-Erik; Økelsrud, Asle; Jartun, Morten (NIVA-rapport;7326, Research report, 2018)The Norwegian Environment Agency (Miljødirektoratet) tasked NIVA to investigate the presence of microplastics in one of Norway’s largest freshwater ecosystems, Lake Mjøsa, using monitoring methods which have been recently ... -
Innovative reference materials for method validation in microplastic analysis including interlaboratory comparison exercises
Martínez Francés, Elena; van Bavel, Bert; Hurley, Rachel; Nizzetto, Luca; Pakhomova, Svetlana; Buenaventura, Nina Tuscano; Singdahl-Larsen, Cecilie; Magni, Marie-Louise Tambo; Johansen, Jon Eigill; Lusher, Amy Lorraine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Reference materials (RMs) are vital tools in the validation of methods used to detect environmental pollutants. Microplastics, a relatively new environmental pollutant, require a variety of complex approaches to address ... -
Measuring riverine macroplastic: Methods, harmonisation, and quality control
Hurley, Rachel; Braaten, Hans Fredrik Veiteberg; Nizzetto, Luca; Steindal, Eirik Hovland; Lin, Yan; Clayer, Francois; Emmerik, Tim van; Buenaventura, Nina Tuscano; Eidsvoll, David Pettersen; Økelsrud, Asle; Norling, Magnus Dahler; Adam, Hans Nicolai; Olsen, Marianne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)River systems are a key environmental recipient of macroplastic pollution. Understanding the sources of macroplastic to rivers and the mechanisms controlling fate and transport is essential to identify and tailor measures ... -

The program “Microplastics in Norwegian ... -
Occurrence of pearls in mussels (Mytilus spp.) from the Norwegian coast
Bråte, Inger Lise Nerland; Buenaventura, Nina Tuscano; Lusher, Amy (NIVA-rapport;7308, Research report, 2018)Mussels (Mytilus spp.) from the Norwegian coast produce pearls, up to as many >360 pearls per individual, and it seems to be a southern-northern gradient with more pearls in mussels from the south than from the north. Out ... -
OSPAR-metodikk og plastanalyse av strandsøppel fra Nordre Langåra og Akerøya
Bråte, Inger Lise Nerland; Hansen, Liv-Marit; Eidsvoll, David; Moe, Nicolay; Buenaventura, Nina Tuscano (NIVA-rapport;7440, Research report, 2019)Mer strandsøppel ble registrert på Akerøya (fra 2018) fra Ytre Hvaler, enn Nordre Langåra (fra 2019) fra Indre Oslofjord, men det er usikkert om disse tallene er robuste nok til å konkludere med at Akerøya har større ...
