Adhesion of mechanically and chemically dispersed crude oil droplets to eggs of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-01)Crude oil accidentally spilled into the marine environment undergoes natural weathering processes that result in oil components being dissolved into the water column or present in particulate form as dispersed oil droplets. ... -
Application of chemical herders do not increase acute crude oil toxicity to cold-water marine species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Chemical herders may be used to sequester and thicken surface oil slicks to increase the time window for performing in situ burning of spilled oil on the sea surface. For herder use to be an environmentally safe oil spill ... -
Attachment of APAM to mineral particles in seawater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Polymer injection is used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) when an oil field ages and the pressure in the reservoir decreases, or for oil fields with heavy oil. By polymer injection, the viscosity of the water injected for ... -
Carbon dynamics and energy recovery in a novel near-zero waste aquaponics system with onsite anaerobic treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aquaponics is gaining renewed interest to enhance food security. This study aimed to investigate the performance of a novel off-grid aquaponics system with near-zero water and waste discharge, focusing on the carbon cycle ... -
Cellular level response of the bivalve Limecola balthica to seawater acidification due to potential CO2 leakage from a sub-seabed storage site in the southern Baltic Sea: TiTank experiment at representative hydrostatic pressure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-10)Understanding of biological responses of marine fauna to seawater acidification due to potential CO2 leakage from sub-seabed storage sites has improved recently, providing support to CCS environmental risk assessment. ... -
Development of a Model for Radon Concentration in Indoor Air
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A model is developed for calculation of the radon concentration in indoor air. The model takes into account various important parameters, e.g. radon concentration in ground, radon diffusion resistance of radon barrier, air ... -
Digitalization and real-time control to mitigate environmental impacts along rivers: Focus on artificial barriers, hydropower systems and European priorities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Hydropower globally represents the main source of renewable energy, and provides several benefits, e.g., water storage and flexibility; on the other hand, it may cause significant impacts on the environment. Hence sustainable ... -
Establishing a link between composition and toxicity of offshore produced waters using comprehensive analysis techniques – A way forward for discharge monitoring?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Extracts of produced waters from five mature Norwegian Sea oil fields were examined as total organic extracts (TOEs) and after fractionation into operationally-defined ‘polar’ and ‘apolar’ fractions. The TOEs and fractions ... -
Freshwater dispersion stability of PAA-stabilised cerium oxide nanoparticles and toxicity towards Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)An aqueous dispersion of poly (acrylic acid)-stabilised cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles (PAA-CeO2) was evaluated for its stability in a range of freshwater ecotoxicity media (MHRW, TG 201 and M7), with and without natural ... -
Generating environmental sampling and testing data for micro- and nanoplastics for use in life cycle impact assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ongoing efforts focus on quantifying plastic pollution and describing and estimating the related magnitude of exposure and impacts on human and environmental health. Data gathered during such work usually follows a receptor ... -
Hydropower and fish – Report and messages from workshop on research and innovation in the context of the European policy framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Hydropower is the world's largest renewable electricity source and will have an important role in the future energy system with increased requirements to integrate environmental and socioeconomic aspects of sustainability. ... -
Impacts of existing and planned hydropower dams on river fragmentation in the Balkan Region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Balkan region has some of the best conserved rivers in Europe, but is also the location of ~3000 planned hydropower dams that are expected to help decarbonise energy production. A conflict between policies that promote ... -
The influences of phytoplankton species, mineral particles and concentrations of dispersed oil on the formation and fate of marine oil-related aggregates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-15)The formation and fallout of oil-related marine snow have been associated with interactions between dispersed oil and small marine particles, like phytoplankton and mineral particles. In these studies, the influences of ... -
Life cycle assessment of roads: Exploring research trends and harmonization challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The transparency, heterogeneity and hypotheses considered in the calculation of the environmental impacts of roads remain as barriers in the identification of low-carbon solutions. To overcome this gap, the study presents ... -
Microplastic distributions in a domestic wastewater treatment plant: Removal efficiency, seasonal variation and influence of sampling technique
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) serve as an important route of microplastics (MPs) to the environment. Therefore, more effective MPs sampling and detection methodologies, as well as a better understanding of their ... -
Mind the gap – Relevant design for laboratory oil exposure of fish as informed by a numerical impact assessment model
