Combined effects of exposure to engineered silver nanoparticles and the water-soluble fraction of crude oil in the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus
Farkas, Julia; Cappadona, V; Olsen, Anders Johny; Hansen, Bjørn Henrik; Posch, Wilfried; Ciesielski, Tomasz Maciej; Goodhead, Rhys; Wilflingseder, Doris; Blatzer, M; Altin, Dag; Moger, Julian; Booth, Andrew; Jenssen, Bjørn Munro (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-10)While it is likely that ENPs may occur together with other contaminants in nature, the combined effects of exposure to both ENPs and environmental contaminants are not studied sufficiently. In this study, we investigated ... -
Quantifying spatial variation in the uptake of microplastic by mussels using biodeposit traps: A field-based study
Piarulli, Stefania; Scapinello, Sara; Sciutto, Giorgia; Prati, Silvia; Mazzeo, Rocco; Booth, Andrew; Airoldi, Laura (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Spatial uptake patterns of microplastics (MP) by marine species are largely unexplored under field conditions. A novel “biodeposit trap” that measure uptake and egestion of MP by suspension-feeders through the analysis of ... -
Risk perception and risk realities in forming legally binding agreements: The governance of plastics
Tiller, Rachel Gjelsvik; Booth, Andrew; Cowan, Emily Christine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The effectiveness of a legally binding treaty to manage plastic pollution will depend on how people perceive the risk of the problem in terms of both whether and how much they fear it. Plastic pollution caught the attention ... -
Single-Use Plastic Bans: Exploring Stakeholder Perspectives on Best Practices for Reducing Plastic Pollution
Cowan, Emily Christine; Booth, Andrew; Misund, Andreas Ugelvik; Rotter, Ana; Klun, Katja; Tiller, Rachel Gjelsvik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this study, we conducted and documented workshops and interviews in Norway and Slovenia to identify stakeholder and future generation opinions and mitigation strategies for solving one of the most prominent environmental ... -
UV degradation of natural and synthetic microfibers causes fragmentation and release of polymer degradation products and chemical additives
Sørensen, Lisbet; Groven, Anette Synnøve; Hovsbakken, Ingrid Alver; Del Puerto, Oihane; Krause, Daniel Franklin; Sarno, Antonio; Booth, Andrew (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-10)A high proportion of the total microplastic (MP) load in the marine environment has been identified as microfibers (MFs), with polyester (PET) and polyamide (PA) typically found in the highest abundance. The potential for ...
