Endosulfan, pentachlorobenzene and short-chain chlorinated paraffins in background soils from Western Europe
Halse, Anne Karine; Schlabach, Martin; Schuster, Jasmin K; Jones, Kevin C; Steinnes, Eiliv; Breivik, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Soils are major reservoirs for many persistent organic pollutants (POPs). In this study, “newly” regulated POPs i.e. sum endosulfans (a-endosulfan, b-endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate), pentachlorobenzene (PeCB), and short-chain ... -
Forecasting long-range atmospheric transport episodes of polychlorinated biphenyls using FLEXPART
Halse, Anne Karine; Eckhardt, Sabine; Schlabach, Martin; Stohl, Andreas; Breivik, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The analysis of concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in ambient air is costly and can only be done for a limited number of samples. It is thus beneficial to maximize the information content of the samples ... -

Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Halse, Anne Karine; Randall, Scott; Borgen, Anders; Schlabach, Martin; Paul, Alak; Rahman, Atiqur; Breivik, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Low concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in air at Cape Verde
Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Halse, Anne Karine; Schlabach, Martin; Bäcklund, Are; Eckhardt, Sabine; Breivik, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Ambient air is a core medium for monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention and is used in studies of global transports of POPs and their atmospheric sources and source regions. Still, ... -
PAH measurements in air and moss around selected industrial sites in Norway 2015
Halse, Anne Karine; Uggerud, Hilde Thelle; Schlabach, Martin; Steinnes, Eiliv (NILU report; 23/2017, Research report, 2017)On request from the Norwegian Environment Agency a pilot study of atmospheric deposition of PAH around industrial enterprises in Norway has been carried out. The participation was voluntary and 10 industries located at 10 ... -
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), oxy- and nitro-PAHs in ambient air of the Arctic town Longyearbyen, Svalbard
Drotikova, Tatiana; Ali, Aasim Musa Mohamed; Halse, Anne Karine; Reinardy, Helena; Kallenborn, Roland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are not declining in Arctic air despite reductions in their global emissions. In Svalbard, the Longyearbyen coal-fired power plant is considered to be one of the major local sources ... -
