Tracking the global distribution of Persistent Organic Pollutants accounting for e-waste exports to developing regions
Breivik, Knut; Armitage, James M; Wania, Frank; Sweetman, Andrew J; Jones, Kevin C (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?
Breivik, Knut; Armitage, James M; Wania, Frank; Jones, Kevin C (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
Krogseth, Ingjerd Sunde; Whelan, Mick; Christensen, Guttorm N; Breivik, Knut; Evenset, Anita; Warner, Nicholas Alexander (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 ... -
Understanding the fate and bioaccumulation of cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes in Arctic Lakes
Krogseth, Ingjerd Sunde; Warner, Nicholas Alexander; Christensen, Guttorm N.; Whelan, Mick; Breivik, Knut; Evenset, Anita; Wasbotten, Ingar Halvorsen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
Using model-based screening to help discover unknown environmental contaminants
McLachlan, Michael S; Kierkegaard, Amelie; Radke, Michael; Sobek, Anna; Malmvärn, Anna; Alsberg, Tomas; Arnot, Jon A; Brown, Trevor N.; Wania, Frank; Breivik, Knut; Xu, Shihe (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 ... -
Using passive air samplers to assess local sources versus long range atmospheric transport of POPs
Halse, Anne Karine; Schlabach, Martin; Sweetman, Andy; Jones, Kevin C; Breivik, Knut (Journal article, 2012)Passive air samplers (PAS) are cost-efficient tools suitable for spatial mapping of atmospheric concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The objective of this study was to use PAS to (i) determine atmospheric ... -
What do we know about the production and release of persistent organic pollutants in the global environment?
Li, Li; Cheng, Chengkang; Li, Dingsheng; Breivik, Knut; Abbasi, Golnoush; Li, Yi-Fan (Journal article, 2022)Information on the global production and environmental releases of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is of critical importance for regulating and eliminating these chemical substances of worldwide environmental and ...
