Plastic recycling plant as a point source of microplastics to sediment and macroinvertebrates in a remote stream
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Microplastic is now ubiquitous in freshwater, sediment and biota, globally. This is as a consequence of inputs from, for example, waste mismanagement, effluents from wastewater treatment plants and surface runoff from ... -
Plastic sources: A survey across scientific and grey literature for their inventory and relative contribution to microplastics pollution in natural environments, with an emphasis on surface water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Plastic debris are at present recognized as an emerging potential threat for natural environments, wildlife and humans. In the past years an increasing attention has been addressed to investigate the presence and concentration ... -
Plastics in biosolids from 1950 to 2016: A function of global plastic production and consumption
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Plastics are ubiquitous contaminants that leak into the environment from multiple pathways including the use of treated sewage sludge (biosolids). Seven common plastics (polymers) were quantified in the solid fraction of ... -
Plastid DNA sequences and oospore characters of some European taxa of Tolypella section Tolypella (Characeae) identify five clusters, including one new cryptic Tolypella taxon from Sardinia, but they do not coincide with current morphological descriptions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In Europe, the genus Tolypella (Characeae) comprises four to eight Tolypella taxa in sections Rothia and Tolypella that have been distinguished by vegetative morphology and gametangial characters such as antheridial size ... -
The plight of camels eating plastic waste
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Ecological impacts of plastic pollution are widespread, in all biomes and geographies. Here, we report the ingestion of anthropogenic waste, primarily plastic bags and rope by dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) in the ... -
PNEC for metals in the marine environment derived from species sensitivity distributions
(NIVA-rapport;5336, Research report, 2007)Predicted No Effect Concentrations (PNEC) for the metals cadmium, copper, nickel, mercury, lead and zinc have been calculated using statistical analysis of species sensitivity distributions. From the analysis, the median ... -
Polar organic chemical integrative samplers as an effective tool for chemical monitoring of surface waters – Results from one-year monitoring in France
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In an effort to support European Union Water Framework Directive goals, we have set up a national demonstrator project to identify the advantages and limitations of passive samplers for regulatory monitoring of polar ... -
Policy coherence for the protection of water resources against agricultural pollution in the EU and Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Throughout the European Union (EU), agricultural practices contribute significantly to the pollution of water resources by nitrates, phosphorus and pesticides. This article sheds light on the degree of horizontal legal ... -
Pollen kraftverk - konsekvensvurdering av endringer i det marine miljø i Nordalsfjorden som følge av planlagt vassdragsregulering
(NIVA-rapport;4313, Research report, 2001)På grunnlag av modellkjøringer, befaring og generell kunnskap om effekter av vassdragsreguleringer på det marine miljø er det foretatt en konsekvensvurdering av etablering av Pollen kraftverk i Nordalsfjorden. I rapporten ... -
Polychaetes from Jan Mayen (Annelida, Polychaeta)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)A thorough literature review has been undertaken to establish the first complete account of polychaetes recorded from the area around the volcanic island of Jan Mayen. The annotated checklist lists 121 species-level taxa, ... -
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as sentinels for the elucidation of Arctic environmental change processes: a comprehensive review combined with ArcRisk project results
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can be used as chemical sentinels for the assessment of anthropogenic influences on Arctic environmental change. We present an overview of studies on PCBs in the Arctic and combine these ... -
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: bioaccumulation in dragonfly nymphs (Anisoptera), and determination of alkylated forms in sediment for an improved environmental assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Road runoff carries a mixture of contaminants that threatens the quality of natural water bodies and the health of aquatic organisms. The use of sedimentation ponds is a nature-based solution for the treatment of road ... -
Polyklorerte bifenyler (PCB) i sediment, strandmateriale og torsk fra området utenfor Hurum Papirfabrikk
(NIVA-rapport;4283, Research report, 2000)Miljøundersøkelser ble høsten 2000 gjennomført i sjøen utenfor Hurum Papirfabrikk. Bakgrunnen var funn av polyklorerte bifenyler (PCB) i grunnen på fabrikkområdet som etter all sannsynlighet over flere tiår har lekket ut ... -
Polyklorerte dibenzofuraner og dibenzo-p-dioksiner (PCDF/PCDD) i krabber fra Grenlandsfjordene og Telemarkskysten høsten 1990
