• Effects of disturbance and vegetation type on total and methylmercury in boreal peatland and forest soils 

      Braaten, Hans Fredrik Veiteberg; de Wit, Heleen A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Mercury (Hg) concentrations in freshwater fish relates to aquatic Hg concentrations, which largely derives from soil stores of accumulated atmospheric deposition. Hg in catchment soils as a source for aquatic Hg is poorly ...
    • 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. ...
    • Mytilus spp. as sentinels for monitoring microplastic pollution in Norwegian coastal waters: A qualitative and quantitative study. 

      Bråte, Inger Lise Nerland; Hurley, Rachel; Iversen, Karine; Beyer, Jonny; Thomas, Kevin V; Steindal, Calin Constantin; Green, Norman Whitaker; Olsen, Marianne; Lusher, Amy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Microplastic (MP) contamination is ubiquitous in the environment and many species worldwide have been shown to contain MP. The ecological impact of MP pollution is still unknown, thus there is an urgent need for more ...
    • Using mussel as a global bioindicator of coastal microplastic pollution 

      Li, Jiana; Lusher, Amy L; Rotchell, Jeanette M.; Deudero, Salud; Turra, Alexander; Bråte, Inger Lise N; Sun, Chengjun; Hossain, M. Shahadat; Li, Qipei; Kolandhasamy, Prabhu; Shi, Huahong (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The ubiquity and high bioavailability of microplastics have an unknown risk on the marine environment. Biomonitoring should be used to investigate biotic impacts of microplastic exposure. While many studies have used mussels ...
