An ecotoxicological assessment of mine tailings from three Norwegian mines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The study assessed the environmental toxicity of three Norwegian mine tailings from Omya Hustadmarmor, Sydvaranger, and Sibelco, which are all released into a seawater recipient. Ecotoxicity assessments were performed on ... -
Berlin statement on legacy and emerging contaminants in polar regions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Polar regions should be given greater consideration with respect to the monitoring, risk assessment, and management of potentially harmful chemicals, consistent with the requirements of the precautionary principle. Protecting ... -
Can plastic related chemicals be indicators of plastic ingestion in an Arctic seabird?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)For decades, the northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) has been found to ingest and accumulate high loads of plastic due to its feeding ecology and digestive tract morphology. Plastic ingestion can lead to both physical and ... -
A case of anisotropic exchange of non-polar chemicals with absorption-based passive samplers in water
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Passive sampling is a powerful technique for the sampling hydrophobic organic contaminants present at trace level in water. A robust application of performance reference compounds (PRCs) for the estimation of in situ ... -
Ecological risk assessment at the food web scale: A case study of a mercury contaminated oilfield
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Mercury, particularly methylmercury, can accumulate through food webs and generate high risks for species at higher trophic levels. Inorganic mercury can be methylated into the organic species methylmercury if suitable ... -
Fluorine mass balance analysis of selected environmental samples from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The presence of unidentified organofluorine compounds (UOF) has been investigated in recent publication, but their environmental occurrence is still poorly understood. Fluorine mass balance analysis was performed on ... -
Growth inhibition in Raphidocelis subcapita – Evidence of nanospecific toxicity of silver nanoparticles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Silver, known for its antibacterial properties and for its toxicity to aquatic organisms, is one of the most frequently used nanomaterials and silver nanoparticles can be found in a range of consumer products as well as ... -
Human activities altered water N:P ratios in the populated regions of China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Being able to quantify nutrient stoichiometry in the waterbodies is especially important given its strong effects on a variety of ecological processes. China has made huge progress in the improvement of surface water ... -
In vivo and in vitro effects of tunnel wash water and traffic related contaminants on aquatic organisms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In order to maintain the construction and safety of road tunnels, they are routinely washed. The wash water appears to be highly polluted with a plethora of contaminants in elevated concentrations. In addition, new and ... -
Long-term effects of thin layer capping in the Grenland fjords, Norway: Reduced uptake of dioxins in passive samplers and sediment-dwelling organisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Grenlandfjords in South East Norway are severely contaminated with dioxins from a magnesium smelter operated between 1950 and 2001. In 2009, the proposal of thin-layer capping as a potential mitigation method to reduce ... -
Miniaturization of a transthyretin binding assay using a fluorescent probe for high throughput screening of thyroid hormone disruption in environmental samples
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Thyroid hormone (TH) disrupting compounds are potentially important environmental contaminants due to their possible adverse neurological and developmental effects on both humans and wildlife. Currently, the most successful ... -
New brominated flame retardants and dechlorane plus in the Arctic: Local sources and bioaccumulation potential in marine benthos
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and bioaccumulation of new flame retardants (nBFRs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and dechlorane plus (DDC-CO) in the marine environment close to an ... -
Partitioning of persistent hydrophobic contaminants to different storage lipid classes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Lipids generally represent the major matrix contributing to the absorptive capacity for hydrophobic organic contaminants in aquatic ecosystems. The aim of the present study was to determine whether contaminants partition ... -
Quantitative assessment of visual microscopy as a tool for microplastic research: Recommendations for improving methods and reporting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Microscopy is often the first step in microplastic analysis and is generally followed by spectroscopy to confirm material type. The value of microscopy lies in its ability to provide count, size, color, and morphological ... -
Unravelling reasons for variability in the OECD 306 marine biodegradation test
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The recommended test for assessing if a chemical can be biodegraded in the marine environment is performed according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Marine biodegradation test guideline (OECD ...
