Archetypes of Spatial Concentration Variability of Organic Contaminants in the Atmosphere: Implications for Identifying Sources and Mapping the Gaseous Outdoor Inhalation Exposome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Whereas inhalation exposure to organic contaminants can negatively impact human health, knowledge of their spatial variability in the ambient atmosphere remains limited. We analyzed the extracts of passive air samplers ... -
Are Fluoropolymers Really of Low Concern for Human and Environmental Health and Separate from Other PFAS?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Fluoropolymers are a group of polymers within the class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The objective of this analysis is to evaluate the evidence regarding the environmental and human health impacts of ... -
Black carbon sources constrained by observations in the Russian high Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Calibration and Application of a Passive Air Sampler (XAD-PAS) for Volatile Methyl Siloxanes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Because the atmosphere is key to understanding the environmental behavior of volatile methyl siloxanes (VMS), a variety of reliable air sampling methods are needed. The purpose of this study was to calibrate and evaluate ... -
Combining Advanced Analytical Methodologies to Uncover Suspect PFAS and Fluorinated Pharmaceutical Contributions to Extractable Organic Fluorine in Human Serum (Tromsø Study)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)A growing number of studies have reported that routinely monitored per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are not sufficient to explain the extractable organic fluorine (EOF) measured in human blood. In this study, we ... -
Developmental toxicity of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and its chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate alternative F-53B in the domestic chicken
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
E-waste driven pollution in Pakistan: The First evidence of environmental and human exposure to flame retardants (FRs) in Karachi city
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Elucidating the Behavior of Cyclic Volatile Methylsiloxanes in a Subarctic Freshwater Food Web: A Modeled and Measured Approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS) are used in personal care products and emitted to aquatic environments through wastewater effluents, and their bioaccumulation potential is debated. Here, a new bentho-pelagic version ... -
The Emissions Fractions Approach to Assessing the Long-Range Transport Potential of Organic Chemicals
(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 ... -
Endocrine and Fitness Correlates of Long-Chain Perfluorinated Carboxylates Exposure in Arctic Breeding Black-Legged Kittiwakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
Exposure to PFAS is associated with telomere length dynamics and demographic responses of an arctic top predator
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Environmental factors that can influence telomeres are diverse, but the association between telomeres and exposure to environmental contaminants is yet to be elucidated. To date, prior studies have focused on legacy ... -
Fluorine Mass Balance, including Total Fluorine, Extractable Organic Fluorine, Oxidizable Precursors, and Target Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, in Pooled Human Serum from the Tromsø Population in 1986, 2007, and 2015
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Of the thousands of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) known to exist, only a small fraction (≤1%) are commonly monitored in humans. This discrepancy has led to concerns that human exposure may be underestimated. ... -
Geographical Differences in Dietary Exposure to Perfluoroalkyl Acids between Manufacturing and Application Regions in China
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Global Historical Stocks and Emissions of PBDEs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The first spatially and temporally resolved inventory of BDE28, 47, 99, 153, 183, and 209 in the anthroposphere and environment is presented here. The stock and emissions of PBDE congeners were estimated using a dynamic ... -
High concentrations of organic contaminants in air from ship breaking activities in Chittagong, Bangladesh

High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for Human Exposomics: Expanding Chemical Space Coverage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In the modern “omics” era, measurement of the human exposome is a critical missing link between genetic drivers and disease outcomes. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), routinely used in proteomics and metabolomics, ... -
Implications of Regurgitative Feeding on Plastic Loads in Northern Fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis): A Study from Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Procellariiform seabirds like northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) are prone to ingest and accumulate floating plastic pieces. In the North Sea region, there is a long tradition to use beached fulmars as biomonitors for ... -
Improving Estimates of Sulfur, Nitrogen, and Ozone Total Deposition through Multi-Model and Measurement-Model Fusion Approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Earth system and environmental impact studies need high quality and up-to-date estimates of atmospheric deposition. This study demonstrates the methodological benefits of multimodel ensemble and measurement-model fusion ... -
