    • Forurensning i tunnelvaskevann – en studie av 34 veitunneler i Norge 

      Meland, Sondre; Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Vaskevannet fra tunnelrenhold har vist seg å være svært forurenset, men dette er i all hovedsak basert på studier av høytrafikkerte tunneler. I denne artikkelen presenterer vi den mest omfattende undersøkelsen av tunnelvaskevann ...
    • 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 ...
    • A novel method for the quantification of tire and polymer-modified bitumen particles in environmental samples by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectroscopy 

      Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Samanipour, Saer; Rauert, Cassandra; Okoffo, Elvis D.; Reid, Malcolm James; Heier, Lene S; Lind, Ole Christian; Thomas, Kevin V; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Tire and road wear particles may constitute the largest source of microplastic particles into the environment. Quantification of these particles are associated with large uncertainties which are in part due to inadequate ...
    • 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 ...
    • Prioriteringsverktøy for vurdering av forurensingsbelastning fra urenset tunnelvaskevann 

      Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Helgadottir, Dröfn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Vegtunneler må vaskes for å bevare tunnelens utstyr, sikt- og lysforhold. Vannet som produseres ved vask, tunnelvaskevann, slippes ut av tunnelen enten via grøfter eller drenssystem. Studier har vist at tunnelvaskevann ...
    • 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 ...
    • Screening of Tire-Derived Chemicals and Tire Wear Particles in a Road Tunnel Wash Water Treatment Basin 

      Meland, Sondre; Granheim, Gina Marie; Rundberget, Thomas; Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Road tunnels play a crucial role in modern road networks, in both urban and non-urban areas, and necessitate frequent cleaning and washing due to the harsh tunnel environment. As a result, road tunnels are considered hot ...
