Can plastic related chemicals be indicators of plastic ingestion in an Arctic seabird?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)For decades, the northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) has been found to ingest and accumulate high loads of plastic due to its feeding ecology and digestive tract morphology. Plastic ingestion can lead to both physical and ... -
Chlorinated paraffins and dechloranes in free-range chicken eggs and soil around waste disposal sites in Tanzania
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Electronic waste is a source of both legacy and emerging flame retardants to the environment, especially in regions where sufficient waste handling systems are lacking. In the present study, we quantified the occurrence ... -

Dynamic modelling of aquatic exposure and pelagic food chain transfer of cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes in the Inner Oslofjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The marine fate and pelagic food chain transfer of three cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMS: D4, D5 and D6) was explored in the Inner Oslofjord, Norway, using two dynamic models (the Oslofjord POP Model and the aquatic ... -
Electrocatalytic performance of oxygen-activated carbon fibre felt anodes mediating degradation mechanism of acetaminophen in aqueous environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Carbon felts are flexible and scalable, have high specific areas, and are highly conductive materials that fit the requirements for both anodes and cathodes in advanced electrocatalytic processes. Advanced oxidative ... -
Hydrolysis of FTOH precursors, a simple method to account for some of the unknown PFAS
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)There is a growing concern over a suspected presense of unknown perfluoroaliphatic substances (PFAS) in consumer goods and in the environment. Such unknown substances, possibly with high molecular weight, might be precursors ... -
New brominated flame retardants and dechlorane plus in the Arctic: Local sources and bioaccumulation potential in marine benthos
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Optimization of a low flow sampler for improved assessment of gas and particle bound exposure to chlorinated paraffins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)An optimized low volume sampler was developed to determine both gas- and particle bound concentrations of short and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (S/MCCPs). Background contamination was limited by the sampler design, ... -
Polychlorinated alkanes in indoor environment: A review of levels, sources, exposure, and health implications for chlorinated paraffin mixtures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Polychlorinated n-alkanes (PCAs) are the main components of chlorinated paraffins (CPs) mixtures, that have been commonly grouped into short-chain (SCCPs, C10–13), medium-chain (MCCPs, C14–17), and long-chain (LCCPs, C18-30) ... -
Reducing sampling artifacts in active air sampling methodology for remote monitoring and atmospheric fate assessment of cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Active sampling methodology for atmospheric monitoring of cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS) was improved to reduce sampling artifacts. A new sorbent, ABN Express (ABN), was evaluated for storage stability and measurement ...
