Past and present mercury accumulation in the Lake Baikal seal: Temporal trends, effects of life history, and toxicological implications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Despite global efforts to reduce anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emissions, the timescale and degree to which Hg concentrations in the environment and biota respond to decreased emissions remain challenging to assess or predict. ... -
Past, Present and Future Eutrophication Status of the Baltic Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We modelled and assessed the past, present and predicted future eutrophication status of the Baltic Sea. The assessment covers a 350-year period from 1850 to 2200 and is based on: (1) modelled concentrations of dissolved ... -
Pelagic community production and carbon-nutrient stoichiometry under variable ocean acidification in an Arctic fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Net community production (NCP) and carbon to nutrient uptake ratios were studied during a large-scale mesocosm experiment on ocean acidification in Kongsfjorden, western Svalbard, during June–July 2010. Nutrient depleted ... -
Pelagic food webs of humic lakes show low short-term response
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Forest harvest in the boreal zone can increase the input of terrestrial materials such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrate (NO3) into nearby aquatic ecosystems,with potential effects on phytoplankton growth through ... -
Perfluoroalkyl substances in circum-ArcticRangifer: caribou and reindeer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Livers of caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) from Canada (n = 146), Greenland (n = 30), Svalbard (n = 7), and Sweden (n = 60) were analyzed for concentrations of eight perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids and four ... -
Performance of secondary wastewater treatment methods for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern implicated in crop uptake and antibiotic resistance spread: A review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) discharged in effluents of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), not specifically designed for their removal, pose serious hazards to human health and ecosystems. Their impact is of ... -
Performance of Three-Dimensional Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Hepatocyte Spheroids for Evaluating Biotransformation of Pyrene
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The aquatic bioconcentration of a chemical is typically determined using conventional fish tests. To foster the approach of alternatives to animal testing, a combination of computational models and in vitro substrate ... -
Perspectives and challenges of applying the water-food-energy nexus approach to lake eutrophication modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The water-food-energy (WFE) nexus is about balancing competing interests to secure the sustainability of services provided by interconnected sectors. Ignoring the interconnections could cause serious consequences. For ... -
Pervasive iron limitation at subsurface chlorophyll maxima of the California Current
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Subsurface chlorophyll maximum layers (SCMLs) are nearly ubiquitous in stratified water columns and exist at horizontal scales ranging from the submesoscale to the extent of oligotrophic gyres. These layers of heightened ... -
Pesticide levels and environmental risk in aquatic environments in China - A review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)China is one of the largest producers and consumers of pesticides in the world today. Along with the widespread use of pesticides and industrialization, there is a growing concern for water quality. The present review aims ... -
Pesticide risk assessment and management in a globally changing world—report from a European interdisciplinary workshop
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013) -
Petroleum oil and mercury pollution from shipwrecks in Norwegian coastal waters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Worldwide there are tens of thousands of sunken shipwrecks lying on the coastal seabed. These potentially polluting wrecks (PPW) are estimated to hold 3–25 million t of oil. Other hazardous cargo in PPW includes ordnance, ... -
Pharmaceutical pollution: Prediction of environmental concentrations from national wholesales data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The regulation and monitoring of pharmaceutical pollution in Europe lag behind that of more prominent groups. However, the repurposing of sales data to predict surface water environmental concentrations is a promising ... -
Pharmaceuticals and their metabolites in the marine environment: Sources, analytical methods and occurrence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environmental waters is a global concern. There is little research conducted on the monitoring of pharmaceuticals in the marine environment. In this article, the occurrence of ... -
Physicochemical and biological ageing processes of (micro)plastics in the environment: a multi-tiered study on polyethylene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Pollution by plastic and microplastic impacts the environment globally. Knowledge on the ageing mechanisms of plastics in natural settings is needed to understand their environmental fate and their reactivity in the ... -
Phytoplankton Blooms at Increasing Levels of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide: Experimental Evidence for Negative Effects on Prymnesiophytes and Positive on Small Picoeukaryotes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the ongoing accumulation in the surface ocean together with concomitantly decreasing pH and calcium carbonate saturation states have the potential to impact phytoplankton ... -
Phytoplankton dynamics in contrasting early stage North Atlantic spring blooms: composition, succession, and potential drivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The spring bloom is a key annual event in the phenology of pelagic ecosystems, making a major contribution to the oceanic biological carbon pump through the production and export of organic carbon. However, there is little ... -
Pilot introducing the river basin management approach in Sittaung River Basin/Myanmar
(Professional article, 2017)An important aim of the IWRM Institutional Building and Training project is to pilot test the river basin management approach in Myanmar. The purpose is to investigate how cooperation between different sectors on river ... -
Pipes or chimneys? For carbon cycling in small boreal lakes, precipitation matters most
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Are small lakes passive pipes transporting terrigenous organic carbon (dissolved organic carbon [DOC]), or chimneys for CO2 release in the landscape? Using a unique combination of 30‐yr measurements, sediment dating and ... -
