Added value of the emissions fractions approach when assessing a chemical's potential for adverse effects as a result of long-range transport
Breivik, Knut; McLachlan, Michael S.; Wania, Frank (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)It is of considerable interest to identify chemicals which may represent a hazard and risk to environmental and human health in remote areas. The OECD POV and LRTP Screening Tool (“The Tool”) for assessing chemicals for ... -
The Emissions Fractions Approach to Assessing the Long-Range Transport Potential of Organic Chemicals
Breivik, Knut; McLachlan, Michael S.; Wania, Frank (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The assessment of long-range transport potential (LRTP) is enshrined in several frameworks for chemical regulation such as the Stockholm Convention. Screening for LRTP is commonly done with the OECD Pov and LRTP Screening ... -
Occurrence and seasonality of cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes in Arctic air
Krogseth, Ingjerd Sunde; Kierkegaard, Amelie; McLachlan, Michael S.; Breivik, Knut; Hansen, Kaj M.; Schlabach, Martin (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 ... -
Prioritizing Chemicals and Data Requirements for Screening-Level Exposure and Risk Assessment
Arnot, Jon A; Brown, Trevor N.; Wania, Frank; Breivik, Knut; McLachlan, Michael S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background: Scientists and regulatory agencies strive to identify chemicals that may cause harmful effects to humans and the environment; however, prioritization is challenging because of the large number of chemicals ... -
The POPCYCLING-Baltic Model. A non-steady state multicompartment mass balance model of the fate of persistent organic pollutants in the Baltic Sea environment.
Wania, Frank; Persson, Johan; Di Guardio, Antonio; McLachlan, Michael S. (NILU OR; 10/2000, Research report, 2000)The POPCYCLING-Baltic model, typical multi-media mass balance model, divides the environment in 85 boxes or compartments, which are considered well-mixed and homogeneous, both with respect to the environmental characteristics ...
