Common eider and herring gull as contaminant indicators of different ecological niches of an urban fjord system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Seabirds like gulls are common indicators in contaminant monitoring. The herring gull (Larus argentatus) is a generalist with a broad range of dietary sources, possibly introducing a weakness in its representativeness of ... -
Development of a Bayesian network for probabilistic risk assessment of pesticides
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Conventional environmental risk assessment of chemicals is based on a calculated risk quotient, representing the ratio of exposure to effects of the chemical, in combination with assessment factors to account for uncertainty. ... -
Evaluating the effects of climate change and chemical, physical, and biological stressors on nearshore coral reefs: A case study in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)An understanding of the combined effects of climate change (CC) and other anthropogenic stressors, such as chemical exposures, is essential for improving ecological risk assessments of vulnerable ecosystems. In the Great ... -
Evaluation of a Bayesian network for strengthening the weight of evidence to predict acute fish toxicity from fish embryo toxicity data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The use of sh embryo toxicity (FET) data for hazard assessments of chemicals, in place of acute sh toxicity (AFT) data, has long been the goal for many environmental scientists. The FET test was rst proposed as a ... -
Incorporating climate change model projections into ecological risk assessments to help inform risk management and adaptation strategies: Synthesis of a SETAC Pellston Workshop®
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The impacts of global climate change are not yet well integrated with the estimates of the impacts of chemicals on the environment. This is evidenced by the lack of consideration in national or international reports that ... -
Incorporating climate projections in the environmental risk assessment of pesticides in aquatic ecosystems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global climate change will significantly impact the biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems, both directly and indirectly via the exacerbation of impacts from other stressors. Pesticides form a prime example of chemical ... -
Increased Use of Bayesian Network Models Has Improved Environmental Risk Assessments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Environmental and ecological risk assessments are defined as the process for evaluating the likelihood that the environment may be impacted as a result of exposure to stressors. Although this definition implies the calculation ... -
Management of PFAS with the Aid of Chemical Product Registries — An Indispensable Tool for Future Control of Hazardous Substances
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Nordic countries are in the forefront of international chemical regulation and management by actively developing the domestic policy framework, while simultaneously pushing for more stringent control internationally. ... -
Passive sampling methods for contaminated sediments: risk assessment and management
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This paper details how activity-based passive sampling methods (PSMs), which provide information on bioavailability in terms of freely dissolved contaminant concentrations (Cfree), can be used to better inform risk management ... -
Quantification of an Adverse Outcome Pathway Network by Bayesian Regression and Bayesian Network Modeling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework has gained international recognition as a systematic approach linking mechanistic processes to toxicity endpoints. Nevertheless, successful implementation into risk assessments ... -
Simulating the uncertain effect of active carbon capping of a dioxin-polluted Norwegian Fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Process‐based multimedia models are frequently used to simulate the long‐term impacts of pollutants and to evaluate potential remediation actions that can be put in place to improve or manage polluted marine environments. ... -
Weight of evidence tools in the prediction of acute fish toxicity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Acute fish toxicity (AFT) is a key endpoint in nearly all regulatory implementations of environmental hazard assessments of chemicals globally. Although it is an early tier assay, the AFT assay is complex and uses many ...
