Emerging issue of e-waste in Pakistan: A review of status, research needs and data gaps
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This review article focuses on the current situation of e-waste in Pakistan with the emphasis on defining the major e-waste recycling sites, current and future domestic generation of e-waste, hidden flows or import of ... -
Endosulfan, pentachlorobenzene and short-chain chlorinated paraffins in background soils from Western Europe
(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 ... -
Model-based evaluation of the use of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons molecular diagnostic ratios as a source identification tool
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) molecular diagnostic ratios (MDRs) are unitless concentration ratios of pair-PAHs with the same molecular weight (MW); MDRs have long been used as a tool for PAHs source identification ... -

Perfluorinated substances and telomeres in an Arctic seabird: Cross-sectional and longitudinal approaches
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Telomeres are non-coding DNA repeats located at the termini of eukaryotic chromosomes, regulated by dynamic processes balancing shortening and maintenance. Despite a mechanism to slow-down telomere shortening, cell division ... -
Plasma concentrations of organohalogenated contaminants in white-tailed eagle nestlings – The role of age and diet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Concentrations of organohalogenated contaminants (OHCs) can show significant temporal and spatial variation in the environment and wildlife. Most of the variation is due to changes in use and production, but environmental ... -

Possible emissions of POPs in plain and hilly areas of Nepal: Implications for source apportionment and health risk assessment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Ambient air is a core media chosen for monitoring under the Stockholm Convention on POPs. While extensive monitoring of POPs in ambient air has been carried out in some parts of the globe, there are still regions with very ... -
Spatial trends of chlorinated paraffins and dechloranes in air and soil in a tropical urban, suburban, and rural environment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There are large knowledge gaps concerning environmental levels and fate of many organic pollutants, particularly for chemicals of emerging concern in tropical regions of the Global South. In this study, we investigated the ... -
Survival rate and breeding outputs in a high Arctic seabird exposed to legacy persistent organic pollutants and mercury
