Characterization of cell responses in Rhodomonas baltica exposed to PMMA nanoplastics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Due to their small size, nanoplastics (NPLs) possess specific properties which can potentiate their toxicity towards aquatic organisms. As primary producers, microalgae are at the base of aquatic food chains, thus negative ... -
Characterization of multiple biomarker responses using flow cytometry to improve environmental hazard assessment with the green microalgae Raphidocelis subcapitata
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Microalgal toxicity tests using integrative endpoints as algal growth are regularly required to analyse the toxicity of potentially hazardous substances in the aquatic environment. However, these do not provide mechanistic ... -
Characterization of the Bago Sub-basin Pilot implementing the EU Water Framework Directive
(NIVA-rapport;7194, Research report, 2017)The aim of this report is to characterize the Bago Sub-basin, located in the Bago Region in the south-central part of Myanmar. The report presents the different characterization steps, including methods for identifying ... -
Characterization of tire and road wear microplastic particle contamination in a road tunnel: From surface to release
(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 ... -
Characterizing combined effects of antiestrogenic chemicals on vitellogenin production in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) hepatocytes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Fish are exposed to a complex mixture of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC), some of which display antiestrogenic activity leading to suppression of estrogen receptor (ER)- mediated reproductive processes. Although the ... -
Characterizing cytotoxic and estrogenic activity of Arctic char tissue extracts in primary Arctic char hepatocytes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Contaminants from various anthropogenic activities are detected in the Arctic due to long-range atmospheric transport, ocean currents, and living organisms such as migrating fish or seabirds. Although levels of persistent ... -
Charophytes in warm springs on Svalbard (Spitsbergen): DNA barcoding identifies Chara aspera and Chara canescens with unusual morphological traits
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The Troll springs are warm springs on Svalbard (Spitsbergen). Charophytes were collected in the years 1910, 1912, 1958, 1992/1993, and 2018. However, since the Chara samples showed unusual morphological traits, there were ... -
Chasing equilibrium passive sampling of hydrophobic organic compounds in water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We investigated a combination of approaches to extend the attainment of partition equilibria between silicone passive samplers (samplers) and surface or treated waste water towards more hydrophobic organic compounds (HOC). ... -
Chemical and biological recovery in acid-sensitive waters: trends and prognosis (ICP Waters report 119/2015)
(NIVA-rapport;6847, Research report, 2015)We present a trend analysis of surface water chemistry in in acid-sensitive lakes and rivers in Europe and North America, for the period 2000 to 2011, combined with a prognosis for water chemistry in Europe in 2020. Also, ... -
China’s regulatory respond to plastic pollution: Trends and trajectories
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Despite China having an international reputation as one of the largest contributors to plastic pollution in the world’s oceans, research analyzing China’s regulatory approach to governing plastic has been limited and ... -
Chitinase digestion for the analysis of microplastics in chitinaceous organisms using the terrestrial isopod Oniscus asellus L. as a model organism
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Chitinaceous organisms have been found to ingest microplastic; however, a standardised, validated, and time- and cost-efficient method for dissolving these organisms without affecting microplastic particles is still required. ... -
Chloropicophyceae, a new class of picophytoplanktonic prasinophytes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Prasinophytes are a paraphyletic group of nine lineages of green microalgae that are currently classified either at the class or order level or as clades without formal taxonomic description. Prasinophyte clade VII comprises ... -
Ciona spp. and ascidians as bioindicator organisms for evaluating effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals: A discussion paper
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In context of testing, screening and monitoring of endocrine-disrupting (ED) type of environmental pollutants, tunicates could possibly represent a particularly interesting group of bioindicator organisms. These primitive ... -
The Circular Benefits of Participation in Nature-Based Solutions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Nature-based solutions (NbS) provide direct benefits to people who live in areas where these approaches are present. The degree of direct benefits (thermal comfort, reduced flood risk, and mental health) varies across ... -
Claiming space: Contested coastal commons in Mumbai
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Many of the world’s cities are located on the coast, and coastal ecologies and livelihoods are under increasing pressure from rapid urban transformations and climate change. This necessitates paying attention to how coastal ... -
