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 ... -
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 ... -
Single and multigenerational studies of silver nanoparticle toxicity and adaptive mechanisms in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
Rossbach, Lisa Magdalena (Doctoral thesis, 2019) -
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. ... -
What happens to biodegradable plastics in soil and compost? : development and comparison of methods
Brilke, Andreas (Master thesis, 2020)Plastics in terrestrial ecosystems negatively affect their functioning by altering physical properties and disturbing soil microorganisms. The same could be true for biodegradable plastics entering nature through incomplete ...
