Characterization of tire and road wear microplastic particle contamination in a road tunnel: From surface to release
Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Lind, Ole Christian; Reid, Malcolm James; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Skogsberg, Emelie; Snilsberg, Brynhild; Gryteselv, Dagfin; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Road pollution is one of the major sources of microplastic particles to the environment. The distribution of tire, polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) and tire and road wear particles (TRWP) in different tunnel compartments ... -
Differences in copper bioaccumulation and biological responses in three Mytilus species
Brooks, Steven; Farmen, Eivind; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Blanco-Rayon, Esther; Izagirre, Urtzi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Mytilus species are important organisms in marine systems being highly abundant and widely distributed along the coast of Europe and worldwide. They are typically used in biological effects studies and have a suite of ... -
Dose-dependent hepatic transcriptional responses in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to sublethal doses of gamma radiation
Song, You; Salbu, Brit; Teien, Hans-Christian; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Rosseland, Bjørn Olav; Tollefsen, Knut-Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Due to the production of free radicals, gamma radiation may pose a hazard to living organisms. The high-dose radiation effects have been extensively studied, whereas the ecotoxicity data on low-dose gamma radiation is still ... -
Geochemical and morphological characterization of particles originating from tunnel construction
Forsman, Emelie; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Teien, Hans-Christian; Lind, Ole Christian; Hagelia, Per; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Rock particles from drilling and blasting during tunnel construction (DB particles) are released to the aquatic environment where they may cause negative toxicological and ecological effects. However, there exists little ... -
Global transcriptional analysis of short-term hepatic stress responses in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to depleted uranium
Song, You; Salbu, Brit; Teien, Hans-Christian; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Rosseland, Bjørn Olav; Høgåsen, Tore; Tollefsen, Knut-Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Potential environmental hazards of radionuclides are often studied at the individual level. Sufficient toxicogenomics data at the molecular/cellular level for understanding the effects and modes of toxic action (MoAs) of ... -
Hepatic transcriptomic profiling reveals early toxicological mechanisms of uranium in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Song, You; Salbu, Brit; Teien, Hans-Christian; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Rosseland, Bjørn Olav; Høgåsen, Tore; Tollefsen, Knut-Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
High levels of tire wear particles in soils along low traffic roads
Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Lind, Ole Christian; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Traffic pollution has been linked to high levels of metals and organic contaminants in road-side soils, largely due to abrasion of tires, brake pads and the road surface. Although several studies have demonstrated correlations ... -
Occurrence of tire and road wear particles in urban and peri-urban snowbanks, and their potential environmental implications
Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Lind, Ole Christian; Reid, Malcolm James; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Okoffo, Elvis D.; Rauert, Cassandra; Thomas, Kevin V; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)According to estimates put forward in multiple studies, tire and road wear particles are one of the largest sources to microplastic contamination in the environment. There are large uncertainties associated with local ... -
Road de-icing salt: Assessment of a potential new source and pathway of microplastics particles from roads
Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Okoffo, Elvis D.; Rauert, Cassandra; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Lind, Ole Christian; Reid, Malcolm James; Thomas, Kevin V; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Roads are estimated to be the largest source of microplastic particles in the environment, through release of particles from tires, road markings and polymer-modified bitumen. These are all released through the wear and ...
