A comparative study of macroinvertebrate biodiversity in highway stormwater ponds and natural ponds
Meland, Sondre; Sun, Zhenhua; Sokolova, Ekaterina; Rauch, Sébastien; Brittain, John E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The use of stormwater ponds along the highways is shown to be an effective alternative to conventional systems, which are usually sewers. These ponds have the potential to combine their primary function of pollution and ... -
A novel method for the quantification of tire and polymer-modified bitumen particles in environmental samples by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectroscopy
Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Samanipour, Saer; Rauert, Cassandra; Okoffo, Elvis D.; Reid, Malcolm James; Heier, Lene S; Lind, Ole Christian; Thomas, Kevin V; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Tire and road wear particles may constitute the largest source of microplastic particles into the environment. Quantification of these particles are associated with large uncertainties which are in part due to inadequate ... -

Assessment of tire wear emission in a road tunnel, using benzothiazoles as tracer in tunnel wash water
Johnsen, Jon Petter; Bye, Ninni Helene (Master thesis, 2019)This thesis was performed after recommendations by the Norwegian Public Road Administration in cooperation with the Norwegian institute for Water Research (NIVA), in order to develop a new methodology to quantify tire tread ... -
Bioaccumulation of trace elements in liver and kidney of fish species from three freshwater lakes in the Ethiopian Rift Valley
Masresha, Alemayehu Esayas; Skipperud, Lindis; Rosseland, Bjørn Olav; Gebremariam, Zinabu; Meland, Sondre; Salbu, Brit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The objective of the present work was to obtain scientific information on the ecological health of three freshwater lakes (Awassa, Koka, and Ziway) situated in the Ethiopian Rift Valley by investigating possible trace ... -
Challenges with Quantifying Tire Road Wear Particles: Recognizing the Need for Further Refinement of the ISO Technical Specification
Rauert, Cassandra; Rødland, Elisabeth S; Okoffo, Elvis D.; Reid, Malcolm J; Meland, Sondre; Thomas, Kevin V (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Environmental monitoring data for tire road wear particles are vastly limited compared to those for other microplastics, primarily due to analytical challenges with quantification. Recently, two ISO technical specifications ... -
Characterization of tire and road wear microplastic particle contamination in a road tunnel: From surface to release
Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Lind, Ole Christian; Reid, Malcolm James; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Skogsberg, Emelie; Snilsberg, Brynhild; Gryteselv, Dagfin; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Road pollution is one of the major sources of microplastic particles to the environment. The distribution of tire, polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) and tire and road wear particles (TRWP) in different tunnel compartments ... -
Detection of tire and road wear particles in duck mussels (Anodonta anatina) from a road-near lake in Norway using various analytical techniques
Næss Holm, Ole-Johan (Master thesis, 2022)Microplastic particles (MP) in the environment are an emerging problem, and the environmental impacts are still to be completely understood. It is known that small plastic particles have been in the environment for a long ... -
DNA metabarcoding adds valuable information for management of biodiversity in roadside stormwater ponds
Sun, Zhenhua; Majaneva, Markus; Sokolova, Ekaterina; Rauch, Sébastien; Meland, Sondre; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Stormwater ponds are used to compensate for the adverse effects that road runoff might have on the natural environment. Depending on their design and placement, stormwater ponds can act as both refugia and traps for local ... -
Ecological implications of road construction in an alum shale bedrock area : a State highway (Rv4) case study
Engelstad, Joachim (Master thesis, 2016-08-31)The construction and use of roads and tunnels takes a toll on natural resources and especially the biological integrity of downstream freshwater environments. Consequently, aquatic biota is exposed to elevated levels of a ... -
Ecotoxicological effects of highway and tunnel wash water runoff
Meland, Sondre (PhD Thesis;2010:25, Doctoral thesis, 2010)In Norway, the traffic loadings have shown a substantial increase during the last decades. From 1948 to 2008 the transportation load has increased from 2.5 to 60.6 million passenger km. Hence, the ever increasing traffic ... -
En studie om forbedring av metode for rensing av tunnelvaskevann
Nersten, Gunhild (Master thesis, 2016-08-30)Vegtunneler akkumulerer store mengder støv på vegbane, vegger, tak og skilt og må derfor vaskes. Når tunnelen vaskes blir vannet som oftest sluppet ut i naturen, men i noen tilfeller samlet opp og videreført til renseanlegg. ... -
