      Allan, Ian J; Garmo, Øyvind A; Rundberget, Jan Thomas; Terentjev, Petr; Christensen, Guttorm; Kashulin, Nikolay A (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The flame-retardant tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate (TDBrPP) was in the 1970s banned for uses in textiles that may be in contact with the skin, owing to strong suspicions that the substance was a human carcinogen. The ...
    • Improved Environmental Status: 50 Years of Declining Fish Mercury Levels in Boreal and Subarctic Fennoscandia 

      Braaten, Hans Fredrik Veiteberg; Åkerblom, Staffan; Kahilainen, Kimmo Kalevi; Rask, Martti; Vuorenmaa, Jussi; Mannio, Jaakko; Malinen, Tommi; Lydersen, Espen; Poste, Amanda; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Kashulin, Nikolai; Kashulina, Tatiana; Terentjev, Petr; Christensen, Guttorm; de Wit, Heleen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Temporally (1965–2015) and spatially (55°–70°N) extensive records of total mercury (Hg) in freshwater fish showed consistent declines in boreal and subarctic Fennoscandia. The database contains 54 560 fish entries (n: pike ...
    • Mercury in the Barents region – River fluxes, sources, and environmental concentrations 

      Gundersen, Cathrine Brecke; Yakushev, Evgeniy; Terentjev, Petr; Kashulin, Nikolai; Korobov, Vladimir; Frolova, Natalia; Romanov, Alexander; Jermilova, Una; Lokhov, Alexey; Miskevich, Igor; Kotova, Ekaterina; Steindal, Eirik Hovland; Braaten, Hans Fredrik Veiteberg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Arctic rivers are receiving increased attention for their contributing of mercury (Hg) to the Arctic Ocean. Despite this, the knowledge on both the terrestrial release sources and the levels of Hg in the rivers are limited. ...
