    • Exploring the impacts of microplastics and associated chemicals in the terrestrial environment – Exposure of soil invertebrates to tire particles 

      Selonen, Salla; Dolar, Andraz; Kokalj, Anita Jemec; Sackey, Lyndon NA; Skalar, Tina; Fernandes, Virginia Cruz; Rede, Diana; Delerue-Matos, Cristina; Hurley, Rachel; Nizzetto, Luca; van Gestel, Cornelis AM (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Abrasion of tire wear is one of the largest sources of microplastics to the environment. Although most tire particles settle into soils, studies on their ecotoxicological impacts on the terrestrial environment are scarce. ...

    • Exploring the impacts of plastics in soil - The effects of polyester textile fibers on soil invertebrates 

      Selonen, Salla; Dolar, Andraz; Kokalj, Anita Jemec; Skalar, Tina; Dolcet, Lidia Parramon; Hurley, Rachel; van Gestel, Cornelis AM (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Polyester fiber is one of the most abundant types of microplastics in the environment. A major proportion of the fibers entering wastewater treatment plants end up in sewage sludge, which is used as a soil fertilizer in ...

    • IMPASSE – Impacts of microplastic in agrosystems and stream environments 

      Nizzetto, Luca; Andreu, Rico; Van Gestel, Kees; Selonen, Saila; Crossman, Jill; Futter, Martyn; Kokalj, Anita Jemec (NIVA-rapport;7632, Research report, 2021)
      We found that the application of biosolids from sewage sludge represents an important source of microplastics (MP) to agricultural soils. Soils that received more biosolid treatments in the past exhibit higher levels of ...

    • Strategy towards producing relevant and reliable data for the hazard assessment of micro- and nanoplastics in agricultural soils 

      Kokalj, Anita Jemec; Kalčíková, Gabriela; Selonen, Salla; Bosker, Thijs; Drobne, Damjana; Dvořáková, Darina; Hofman, Jakub; Hurley, Rachel; Kernchen, Sarmite; Laforsch, Christian; Löder, Martin G.J.; van Loon, Sam; Redondo-Hasselerharm, Paula E.; Saartama, Vili; Šmídová, Klára; Tsagkaris, Aristeidis S.; Zantis, Laura J.; Nizzetto, Luca; van Gestel, Cornelis A.M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread emerging contaminants with many potential direct and indirect effects on soil ecosystems. Ecological soil MNP hazard assessment is thus crucial for a proper risk assessment and ...
