Negligible Impact of Ingested Microplastics on Tissue Concentrations of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Northern Fulmars off Coastal Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Observed and Modeled Black Carbon Deposition and Sources in the Western Russian Arctic 1800−2014
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Black carbon (BC) particles contribute to climate warming by heating the atmosphere and reducing the albedo of snow/ice surfaces. The available Arctic BC deposition records are restricted to the Atlantic and North American ... -
Occurrence and seasonality of cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes in Arctic air
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMS) are present in technical applications and personal care products. They are predicted to undergo long-range atmospheric transport, but measurements of cVMS in remote areas remain ... -
Pelagic vs coastal - Key drivers of pollutant levels in Barents Sea polar bears with contrasted space-use strategies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons not declining in Arctic air despite global emission reduction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019) -
Potential Effect of Migration Strategy on Pollutant Occurrence in Eggs of Arctic Breeding Barnacle Geese (Branta leucopsis)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Arctic-breeding geese acquire resources for egg production from overwintering and breeding grounds, where pollutant exposure may differ. We investigated the effect of migration strategy on pollutant occurrence of lipophilic ... -
Probing the differential tissue distribution and bioaccumulation behavior of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances of varying chain-lengths, isomeric structures and functional groups in crucian carp
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Understanding the bioaccumulation mechanisms of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) across different chain-lengths, isomers and functional groups represents a monumental scientific challenge with implications for ... -
Sea Spray Aerosol (SSA) as a Source of Perfluoroalkyl Acids (PFAAs) to the Atmosphere: Field Evidence from Long-Term Air Monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The effective enrichment of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in sea spray aerosols (SSA) demonstrated in previous laboratory studies suggests that SSA is a potential source of PFAAs to the atmosphere. In order to investigate ... -
Spatiotemporal Analysis of Perfluoroalkyl Substances in White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) Nestlings from Northern Norway-A Ten-Year Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) in Scandinavia has suffered from impaired reproduction due to high exposure to industrial pollution between the 1960s and 1980s. While population numbers are rising again, new ... -
Tracking the global distribution of Persistent Organic Pollutants accounting for e-waste exports to developing regions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Elevated concentrations of various industrial-use persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), have been reported in some developing areas in sub-tropical and tropical regions known to ... -
Tracking the global generation and exports of e-waste. Do existing estimates add up?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The transport of discarded electronic and electrical appliances (e-waste) to developing regions has received considerable attention, but it is difficult to assess the significance of this issue without a quantitative ... -
Understanding of Cyclic Volatile Methyl Siloxane Fate in a High Latitude Lake Is Constrained by Uncertainty in Organic Carbon− Water Partitioning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMS) are emitted to aquatic environments with wastewater effluents. Here, we evaluate the environmental behavior of three cVMS compounds (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), decamethylcy ... -
Using model-based screening to help discover unknown environmental contaminants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Of the tens of thousands of chemicals in use, only a small fraction has been analyzed in environmental samples. To effectively identify environmental contaminants, methods to prioritize chemicals for analytical method ... -
Widespread Pesticide Distribution in the European Atmosphere Questions their Degradability in Air
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Risk assessment of pesticide impacts on remote ecosystems makes use of model-estimated degradation in air. Recent studies suggest these degradation rates to be overestimated, questioning current pesticide regulation. Here, ...
