High levels of tire wear particles in soils along low traffic roads
(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 Horizon Scan of research priorities to informpolicies aimed at reducing the harm of plastic pollution to biota
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Plastic pollution in the oceans is a priority environmental issue. The recent increase in research on the topic, coupled with growing public awareness, has catalyzed policymakers around the world to identify and implement ... -
Identification and quantification of selected plastics in biosolids by pressurized liquid extraction combined with double-shot pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The identification and quantification of selected plastics (polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl ... -
Impacts of water residence time on nitrogen budget of lakes and reservoirs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)As an important factor related to the self-purification capacity (e.g. denitrification, burial rate, and downstream output) in aquatic systems, water residence time (WRT) has great impacts on the nitrogen (N) dynamics and ... -
In vivo bioaccumulation of contaminants from historically polluted sediments - Relation to bioavailability estimates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Many contaminants are recalcitrant against degradation. Therefore, when primary sources have been discontinued, contaminated sediments often function as important secondary pollution sources. Since the management and ... -
Influence of climate change and pesticide use practices on the ecological risks of pesticides in a protected Mediterranean wetland: A Bayesian network approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Pollution by agricultural pesticides is one of the most important pressures affecting Mediterranean coastal wetlands. Pesticide risks are expected to be influenced by climate change, which will result in an increase of ... -
An integrated biological effects assessment of the discharge water into the Sunndalsfjord from an aluminium smelter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An integrated biological effects study using field transplanted mussels was applied to determine the potential biological effects of an effluent discharge from an aluminium smelter into a Norwegian fjord. Chemical body ... -
Integrated biomarker assessment of the effects of tailing discharges from an iron ore mine using blue mussels (Mytilus spp.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The blue mussel (Mytilus spp.) has been used to assess the potential biological effects of the discharge effluent from the Sydvaranger mine, which releases its tailings into Bøk fjord at Kirkenes in the north of Norway. ... -
Integrated chemical exposure assessment of coastal green turtle foraging grounds on the Great Barrier Reef
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The Great Barrier Reef receives run-off from 424,000 km2 catchment area across coastal Queensland, incorporating diffuse agricultural run-off, and run-off point sources of land-based chemical pollutants from urban and ... -
Integrative assessment of low-dose gamma radiation effects on Daphnia magna reproduction: Toxicity pathway assembly and AOP development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)High energy gamma radiation is potentially hazardous to organisms, including aquatic invertebrates. Although extensively studied in a number of invertebrate species, knowledge on effects induced by gamma radiation is to a ... -
Interactions between pH and nutrients on benthic algae in streams and consequences for ecological status assessment and species richness patterns
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Eutrophication and acidification are among the major stressors on freshwater ecosystems in northern Europe and North America, but possible consequences of interactions between pH and nutrients on ecological status assessment ... -
Levelling-up rhodolith-bed science to address global-scale conservation challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global marine conservation remains fractured by an imbalance in research efforts and policy actions, limiting progression towards sustainability. Rhodolith beds represent a prime example, as they have ecological importance ... -
Littoral eutrophication indicators are more closely related to nearshore land use than to water nutrient concentrations: A critical evaluation of stressor-response relationships
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Biological assessment metrics and water chemistry measurements are used to quantify the link between stressors and their effects on lake ecosystems, for the Water Framework Directive. However, correlations between metrics ... -
Long-term changes (1990–2015) in the atmospheric deposition and runoff water chemistry of sulphate, inorganic nitrogen and acidity for forested catchments in Europe in relation to changes in emissions and hydrometeorological conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The international Long-Term Ecological Research Network (ILTER) encompasses hundreds of long-term research/monitoring sites located in a wide array of ecosystems that can help us understand environmental change across the ... -
Long-term response of marine benthic fauna to thin-layer capping with powdered activated carbon in the Grenland fjords, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Grenland fjords in Norway have a long history of contamination by large emissions of dioxins and mercury. As a possible sediment remediation method in situ, thin-layer capping with powdered activated carbon (AC) mixed ... -
Macrofaunal colonization of mine tailings impacted sediments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)An experiment was conducted to study and compare macrofaunal colonization of thin layers of mine tailings. Experimental boxes filled with marine sediments capped with mine tailings were placed on the seabed and subject to ... -
Marine ecotoxicity of nitramines, transformation products of amine-based carbon capture technology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)In the context of reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, chemical absorption with amines is emerging as the most advanced technology for post-combustion CO2 capture from exhaust gases of fossil fuel power plants. Despite ... -
Mechanical removal of macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems: Implications for ecosystem structure and function
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Macrophytes are generally considered a nuisance when they interfere with human activities. To combat perceived nuisance, macrophytes are removed, and considerable resources are spent every year worldwide on this practice. ... -
