Unfolding the interaction between microplastics and (trace) elements in water: A critical review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Plastic and microplastic pollution is an environmental and societal concern. The interaction of plastic with organic chemicals in the environment has attracted scientific interest. New evidences have highlighted an ... -
Unified understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic controls of dissolved organic carbon reactivity in aquatic ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Despite our growing understanding of the global carbon cycle, scientific consensus on the drivers and mechanisms that control dissolved organic carbon (DOC) turnover in aquatic systems is lacking, hampered by the mismatch ... -
Unlocking India’s Potential in Managing Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): Importance, Challenges, and Opportunities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a prime concern for the environment and health globally. Research shows that in developing countries such as India both the environment and human populations are severely exposed ... -
Unraveling the Relationship between the Concentrations of Hydrophobic Organic Contaminants in Freshwater Fish of Different Trophic Levels and Water Using Passive Sampling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The concentrations of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in aquatic biota are used for compliance, as well as time and spatial trend monitoring in the aqueous environment (European Union water framework directive, OSPAR). ... -
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 ... -
Unravelling the effect of flow regime on macroinvertebrates and benthic algae in regulated versus unregulated streams
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Variability in riverine flow regimes is important for aquatic biodiversity. However, across the globe, management of water resources has altered natural flow dynamics. We explored relationships between flow regime (calculated ... -
Untangling the role of biotic and abiotic ageing of various environmental plastics toward the sorption of metals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Plastic particles can impact the environmental fate and bioavailability of essential inorganic micronutrients and non-essential (toxic) metals. The sorption of metals to environmental plastic has been demonstrated to be ... -
Uranium accumulation and toxicokinetics in the crustacean Daphnia magna provide perspective to toxicodynamic responses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The importance of incorporating kinetic approaches in order to gain information on underlying physiological processes explaining species sensitivity to environmental stressors has been highlighted in recent years. Uranium ... -
Use of High Throughput Sequencing and Light Microscopy Show Contrasting Results in a Study of Phytoplankton Occurrence in a Freshwater Environment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Assessing phytoplankton diversity is of primary importance for both basic and applied ecological studies. Following the advances in molecular methods, phytoplankton studies are switching from using classical microscopy to ... -
Use of models for the environmental risk assessment of veterinary medicines in European aquaculture: current situation and future perspectives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Veterinary Medicinal Products (VMPs) are used in intensive aquaculture production to treat a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infestations. Their release into the environment poses concerns regarding their potential ... -
Using a Bayesian Network Model to Predict Risk of Pesticides on Aquatic Community Endpoints in a Rice Field—A Southern European Case Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Bayesian network (BN) models are increasingly used as tools to support probabilistic environmental risk assessments (ERAs), because they can better account for uncertainty compared with the simpler approaches commonly used ... -
Using a chain of models to predict health and environmental impacts in Norway from a hypothetical nuclear accident at the Sellafield site
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)When a nuclear accident occurs, decision makers in the affected country/countries would need to act promptly to protect people, the environment and societal interests from harmful impacts of radioactive fallout. The decisions ... -
Using Bayesian hierarchical modelling to capture cyanobacteria dynamics in Northern European lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Cyanobacteria blooms in lakes and reservoirs currently threaten water security and affect the ecosystem services provided by these freshwater ecosystems, such as drinking water and recreational use. Climate change is ... -
Using biomarkers in wastewater to monitor community drug use: A conceptual approach for dealing with new psychoactive substances
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Data obtained from the analysis of wastewater from large-scale sewage treatment plants has been successfully applied to study trends in the use of classical illicit drugs such as cocaine, but the dynamic nature of the new ... -
Using ecosystem models to inform ecosystem-based fisheries management in Europe: a review of the policy landscape and related stakeholder needs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The need to implement an ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) is enshrined in numerous regulations and strategies, at both global and European level. In practice, it is challenging to implement EBFM because it ... -
Using environmental monitoring data from apex predators for chemicals management: towards better use of monitoring data from apex predators in support of prioritisation and risk assessment of chemicals in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A large number of apex predator samples are available in European research collections, environmental specimen banks and natural history museums that could be used in chemical monitoring and regulation. Apex predators ... -
