A comprehensive assessment of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in an Indian food basket: Levels, dietary intakes, and comparison with European data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in diet are a health concern and their monitoring in food has been introduced in the European Union. In developing countries, EDC dietary exposure data are scarce, especially from areas ... -
The effect of long-range transport, trophic position and diet specialization on legacy contaminant occurrence in great skuas, Stercorarius skua, breeding across the Northeast Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)High levels of halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs) have been found in the marine predatory seabird great skua (Stercorarius skua) from breeding colonies in the Northeastern Atlantic, with large unexplained inter-colony ... -
Fate of microplastics in agricultural soils amended with sewage sludge: Is surface water runoff a relevant environmental pathway?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Sewage sludge used as agricultural fertilizer has been identified as an important source of microplastics (MPs) to the environment. However, the fate of MPs added to agricultural soils is largely unknown. This study ... -
Marine litter: One of the major threats for marine mammals. Outcomes from the European Cetacean Society workshop
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Marine litter is a pollution problem affecting thousands of marine species in all the world's seas and oceans. Marine litter, in particular plastic, has negative impacts on marine wildlife primarily due to ingestion and ... -
Methylmercury and inorganic mercury in Chinese commercial rice: Implications for overestimated human exposure and health risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)China is the largest rice producer and consumer in the world, and mercury (Hg) levels, particularly methylmercury (MeHg), in rice and health exposure risks are public concerns. Total Hg (THg) and MeHg levels in 767 (domestic ... -
Microplastic retention by marine vegetated canopies: Simulations with seagrass meadows in a hydraulic flume
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Marine canopies formed by seagrass and other coastal vegetated ecosystems could act as sinks of microplastics for being efficient particle traps. Here we investigated for the first time the occurrence of microplastic ... -
Paper product production identified as the main source of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a Norwegian lake: Source and historic emission tracking
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The entirety of the sediment bed in lake Tyrifjorden, Norway, is contaminated by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). A factory producing paper products and a fire station were investigated as possible sources. Fire ... -
Repeated insecticide pulses increase harmful effects on stream macroinvertebrate biodiversity and function
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We exposed twelve mesocosm stream channels and four instream channels to one, two, and four pulses of the insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin (0.1 μg L−1) applied at two day intervals, each pulse lasting 90 min. Unexposed ... -
Seasonal pollutant levels in littoral high-Arctic amphipods in relation to food sources and terrestrial run-off
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Increasing terrestrial run-off from melting glaciers and thawing permafrost to Arctic coastal areas is expected to facilitate re-mobilization of stored legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury (Hg), potentially ... -
Small Arctic rivers transport legacy contaminants from thawing catchments to coastal areas in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Decades of atmospheric and oceanic long-range transport from lower latitudes have resulted in deposition and storage of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Arctic regions. With increased temperatures, melting glaciers ... -
Terrestrial inputs govern spatial distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in an Arctic fjord system (Isfjorden, Svalbard)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Considerable amounts of previously deposited persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are stored in the Arctic cryosphere. Transport of freshwater and terrestrial material to the Arctic Ocean is increasing due to ongoing climate ... -
The zebrafish embryotoxicity test (ZET) for nanotoxicity assessment: from morphological to molecular approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Nanotechnology and use of nanomaterials (NMs) improve life quality, economic growth and environmental health. However, the increasing production and use of NMs in commercial products has led to concerns about their potential ...
