Calibration and Application of a Passive Air Sampler (XAD-PAS) for Volatile Methyl Siloxanes
Krogseth, Ingjerd Sunde; Zhang, Xianming; Lei, Ying D.; Wania, Frank; Breivik, Knut (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 ... -
Evaluating the Environmental Fate of Short-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins (SCCPs) in the Nordic Environment Using a Dynamic Multimedia Model
Krogseth, Ingjerd Sunde; Breivik, Knut; Arnot, Jon A; Wania, Frank; Borgen, Anders; Schlabach, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) raise concerns due to their potential for persistence, bioaccumulation, long-range transport and adverse effects. An understanding of their environmental fate remains limited, ... -
Long-term monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) at the Norwegian Troll station in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Kallenborn, Roland; Breivik, Knut; Eckhardt, Sabine; Lunder, Chris Rene; Manø, Stein; Schlabach, Martin; Stohl, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013) -
Non-target and suspect characterisation of organic contaminants in Arctic air – Part 2: Application of a new tool for identification and prioritisation of chemicals of emerging Arctic concern in air
Röhler, Laura; Schlabach, Martin; Haglund, Peter; Breivik, Knut; Kallenborn, Roland; Bohlin-Nizzetto, Pernilla (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The Norwegian Arctic possesses a unique environment for the detection of new potential chemicals of emerging Arctic concern (CEACs) due to remoteness, sparse population and the low number of local contamination sources. ... -
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 ... -
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as sentinels for the elucidation of Arctic environmental change processes: a comprehensive review combined with ArcRisk project results
Carlsson, Pernilla; Breivik, Knut; Brorström-Lundén, Eva; Cousins, Ian; Christensen, Jesper; Grimalt, Joan O.; Halsall, Crispin; Kallenborn, Roland; Abass, Khaled; Lammel, Gerhard; Munthe, John; MacLeod, Matthew; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Pawlak, Janet; Rautio, Arja; Reiersen, Lars-Otto; Schlabach, Martin; Stemmler, Irene; Wilson, Simon; Wöhrnschimmel, Henry (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can be used as chemical sentinels for the assessment of anthropogenic influences on Arctic environmental change. We present an overview of studies on PCBs in the Arctic and combine these ... -
The environmental occurrence, fate, and behavior of airborne organic contaminants of emerging concern in Norwegian terrestrial ecosystems
Hoel, Selma Bjørge (Master thesis, 2019)Airborne organic contaminants of emerging concern (AOCs) are a large assembly of organic compound groups. AOCs consist of legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and new POP- like compounds. These compound groups are ... -
The mass flow and proposed management of bisphenol A in selected Norwegian waste streams
Arp, Hans Petter Heinrich; Morin, Nicolas; Hale, Sarah; Okkenhaug, Gudny; Breivik, Knut; Sparrevik, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Current initiatives for waste-handling in a circular economy favor prevention and recycling over incineration or landfilling. However, the impact of such a transition on environmental emissions of contaminants like bisphenol ...
