Uncertainties in assessing the environmental impact of amine emissions from a CO 2 capture plant
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)In this study, a new model framework that couples the atmospheric chemistry transport model system WRF-EMEP and the multimedia fugacity level III model was used to assess the environmental impact of amine emissions to air ... -
Understanding temporal variability across trophic levels and spatial scales in freshwater ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A tenet of ecology is that temporal variability in ecological structure and processes tends to decrease with increasing spatial scales (from locales to regions) and levels of biological organization (from populations to ... -
Understanding the Biogeochemical Impacts of Fish Farms Using a Benthic-Pelagic Model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sustainable development of the salmon farming industry requires knowledge of the biogeochemical impacts of fish farm emissions. To investigate the spatial and temporal scales of farm impacts on the water column and benthic ... -
Understanding the occurrence and fate of microplastics in coastal Arctic ecosystems: The case of surface waters, sediments and walrus (Odobenus rosmarus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Arctic ecosystem receives contaminants transported through complex environmental pathways – such as atmospheric, riverine and oceanographic transport, as well as local infrastructure. A holistic approach is required ... -
Understanding the role of organic matter cycling for the spatio-temporal structure of PCBs in the North Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Using the North Sea as a case scenario, a combined three-dimensional hydrodynamic-biogeochemical-pollutant model was applied for simulating the seasonal variability of the distribution of hydrophobic chemical pollutants ... -
Undersøkelse av tunnelvann, slam og uomsatt sprengstoff under drivingen av Espatunnelen på E6
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Under drivingen av Espatunnelen på E6 ble det tatt ut prøver av tunnelvann (drifts- og drensvann), slam og sprengsstein. Konsentrasjoner av Al, Cu, Zn og Cr i tunnelvannet var høyt. Entreprenørens sedimentasjonsbasseng ... -
Unexpected Interaction with Dispersed Crude Oil Droplets Drives Severe Toxicity in Atlantic Haddock Embryos
(Journal article, 2015)The toxicity resulting from exposure to oil droplets in marine fish embryos and larvae is still subject for debate. The most detailed studies have investigated the effects of waterdissolved components of crude oil in water ... -
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
