Concentrations and Retention Efficiency of Tire Wear Particles from Road Runoff in Bioretention Cells
Mengistu, Demmelash; Coutris, Claire; Paus, Kim Aleksander Haukeland; Heistad, Arve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Bioretention cells are popular stormwater management systems for controlling peak runoff and improving runoff water quality. A case study on a functional large-scale bioretention cell and a laboratory column experiment was ... -
Dekkslitasjepartikler fra motorsportbaner : en første kartlegging og mulige tiltak
Amdal, Helena Marie (Master thesis, 2021)Dekkslitasjepartikler (TWP) har i løpet av de siste årene fått mer oppmerksomhet, og regnes i dag som den største kilden til utslipp av mikroplast til miljøet. Til tross for dette så er det fortsatt stor mangel på ... -
Detection and Quantification of Tire Particles in Sediments Using a Combination of Simultaneous Thermal Analysis, Fourier Transform Infra-Red, and Parallel Factor Analysis
Mengistu, Demmelash; Nilsen, Vegard; Heistad, Arve; Kvaal, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -
Microplastics concentrations in soil along a racetrack
Mengistu, Demmelash; Nilsen, Vegard; Coutris, Claire; Amdal, Helena Marie; Heistad, Arve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Motorsport is known for its high tire wear due to speed, cornering, and high acceleration/deceleration activities. However, studies on the generation of microplastics from racetracks are rare. This study aimed at quantifying ... -
Microplastics in stormwater runoff : measuring tire wear particles (TWP) concentration in the road environment and effect of treatment systems
Mengistu, Demmelash (PhD Thesis;2023:16, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Tire wear particles (TWP) are a major source of microplastics that are mainly transported by stormwater from roads to the environment. Their risk has not yet been sufficiently evaluated, mainly because of the lack of ... -
Tire wear particles concentrations in gully pot sediments
Mengistu, Demmelash; Heistad, Arve; Coutris, Claire (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)While tire wear and tear is known to be a major source of microplastics in the environment, its monitoring is still hampered by the lack of analytical methods able to provide concentrations in environmental matrices. ...
