Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2018
Abstract
Samples from the urban terrestrial environment in the Oslo area were analysed for various inorganic and organic environmental pollutants. The selected species were earthworm, fieldfare, sparrowhawk, brown rat, red fox and badger. Air and soil samples were also included in the study to further the understanding on sources and uptake of pollutants. A foodchain approach was used to investigate trophic magnification of the different compounds. Prøver fra det urbane terrestriske miljøet i Oslo-området ble analysert for flere uorganiske og organiske miljøgifter. De utvalgte artene var meitemark, gråtrost, spurvehauk, brunrotte, rødrev og grevling. Luft og jordprøver ble også analysert for å øke forståelsen av kilder og opptak av miljøgifter. En næringskjedetilnærming ble valgt for å undersøke trofisk magnifisering av de forskjellige stoffene.
