Car tire crumb rubber: Does leaching produce a toxic chemical cocktail in coastal marine systems?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Crumb rubber granulate (CRG) produced from end of life tires (ELTs) is commonly applied to synthetic turf pitches (STPs), playgrounds, safety surfaces and walkways. In addition to fillers, stabilizers, cross-linking agents ... -
Data assimilation: making sense of Earth Observation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
Good Agreement Between Modeled and Measured Sulfur and Nitrogen Deposition in Europe, in Spite of Marked Differences in Some Sites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Atmospheric nitrogen and sulfur deposition is an important effect of atmospheric pollution and may affect forest ecosystems positively, for example enhancing tree growth, or negatively, for example causing acidification, ... -
Increasing Trends of Legacy and Emerging Organic Contaminants in a Dated Sediment Core From East-Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Temporal trends of industrial organic contaminants can show how environmental burdens respond to changes in production, regulation, and other anthropogenic and environmental factors. Numerous studies have documented such ... -
Ingestion of car tire crumb rubber and uptake of associated chemicals by lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Car tire rubber constitutes one of the largest fractions of microplastics emissions to the environment. The two main emission sources are tire wear particles (TWPs) formed through abrasion during driving and runoff of crumb ... -
Leaching of chemicals and DOC from tire particles under simulated marine conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tire wear particles (TWPs) represent one of the major anthropogenic pools of particles ending up in the environment. They contain a large variety of chemicals, a part of which may be released into the environment through ... -
Microplastic Fiber Emissions From Wastewater Effluents: Abundance, Transport Behavior and Exposure Risk for Biota in an Arctic Fjord
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Microfibers (MF) are one of the major classes of microplastic found in the marine environment on a global scale. Very little is known about how they move and distribute from point sources such as wastewater effluents into ... -
Modelling the 2021 East Asia super dust storm using FLEXPART and FLEXDUST and its comparison with reanalyses and observations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The 2021 East Asia sandstorm began from the Eastern Gobi desert steppe in Mongolia on March 14, and later spread to northern China and the Korean Peninsula. It was the biggest sandstorm to hit China in a decade, causing ... -
Satellite observations showed a negligible reduction in NO2 pollution due to COVID-19 lockdown over Poland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The tropospheric NO2 column from Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI (2018–2020) and Aura/OMI (2010–2020) over Poland, notably for 7 major Polish cities, was used to assess the annual variability and the COVID-19 lockdown effect. On a ... -
Social-Environmental Analysis for the Management of Coastal Lagoons in North Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study provides an overview of 11 lagoons in North Africa, from the Atlantic to the Eastern Mediterranean. Lagoons are complex, transitional, coastal zones providing valuable ecosystem services that contribute to the ... -
Spatial distribution of Dechlorane Plus and dechlorane related compounds in European background air
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The highly chlorinated chemical Dechlorane Plus (DP) was introduced as a replacement flame retardant for Mirex, which is banned through the Stockholm Convention (SC) for its toxicity (T), environmental persistence (P), ... -
Tackling Data Quality When Using Low-Cost Air Quality Sensors in Citizen Science Projects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Using low-cost air quality sensors (LCS) in citizen science projects opens many possibilities. LCS can provide an opportunity for the citizens to collect and contribute with their own air quality data. However, low data ...
