  1. 1. Mitigating Microplastics Pollution in Urban Water Systems : Flow, actors, and control measures

    Författare :Emma Fältström; Stefan Anderberg; Annica Carlsson; Hamse Kjerstadius; Lian Lundy; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Municipalities; Plastic; Pollutants; Preventive measures; Stormwater; Wastewater; Water treatment;

    Sammanfattning : Water pollution has long been considered a challenge in urban areas. Urban wastewater and stormwater act as transport pathways for pollutants from urban areas to receiving waters. Microplastics are a pollution problem of growing concern. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Sources and fate of plastic particles in northern European coastal waters

    Författare :Therese Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plastic pollution; microplastics; method development; polyethylene; FTIR spectroscopy;

    Sammanfattning : Plastics are integral parts of our lives and have allowed for important technological leaps within society. However, an unwanted consequence of our current consumption of plas-tics is marine plastic pollution and in order to reduce its impact we need to understand its sources and fate patterns. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Chemical Pollutants Released to the Marine Environment by Degradation of Plastic Debris

    Författare :Berit Gewert; Matthew MacLeod; Magnus Breitholtz; Merle Plassmann; Martin Wagner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plastic; microplastic; degradation; leachates; weathering; photo-oxidation; marine environment; toxicity; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Since the beginning of the mass production in the 1940s, plastic has been manufactured in quickly increasing amounts. Plastic debris accumulates in the environment and lately much attention has been drawn to the pollution in the world’s oceans. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Nest-site attendance and foraging ecology of the Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) on the Faroe Islands. Is the Northern Fulmar a useful indicator of ecosystem productivity and pollution?

    Författare :Johannis Danielsen; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nest-site attendance; foraging ecology; indicator species; Fulmar; Fulmarus glacialis; nocturnal activity; ecosystem productivity; pollution; mesopelagic fish;

    Sammanfattning : The Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) is one of the most abundant seabirds in the Northern Hemisphere and the most abundant seabird on the Faroe Islands. Except from a few sporadic observations up until the 1950´s no study has focused on this species on the Faroe Islands. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Microplastics in the aquatic environment: Insights into biological fate and effects in fish

    Författare :Giedrė Ašmonaitė; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microplastics; nanoplastics; plastic pollution; effects; fish; chemical mixtures; ecotoxicology;

    Sammanfattning : According to the United Nations, plastic pollution in the natural environment has been identified as one of the biggest environmental challenges of this century and has become a cause for an emerging international concern. It has been predicted that up to 12 million tons of plastic waste reach the aquatic environment annually. LÄS MER
