      The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme has published a plan and guidelines for the monitoring of litter and microplastics (MP) in the Arctic. Here, we look beyond suggestions for immediate monitoring and discuss ...
    • Microplastics in arctic invertebrates- Status on occurrence and recommendations for future monitoring 

      Grøsvik, Bjørn Einar; Granberg, Maria E.; Kögel, Tanja; Lusher, Amy; Gomiero, Alessio; Halldorsson, Halldor P.; Madsen, Alexander Klevedal; Baak, Julia E.; Guls, Hermann Dreki; Magnusson, Kerstin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Few studies have been published on occurrence and distribution on microplastics (MPs) in invertebrates from the Arctic. We still need to develop harmonised methods to enable good comparison between studies taking into ...
    • Monitoring of microplastic pollution in the Arctic: Recent developments in polymer identification, quality assurance and control (QA/QC), and data reporting 

      Primpke, Sebastian; Booth, Andy; Gerdts, Gunnar; Gomiero, Alessio; Kögel, Tanja; Lusher, Amy Lorraine; Strand, Jakob; Scholz-Böttcher, Barbara; Galgani, Francois; Provencher, Jennifer F; Aliani, Stefano; Patankar, Shreyas; Vorkamp, Katrin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The pollution of the environment with plastics is of growing concern worldwide, including the Arctic region. While larger plastic pieces are a visible pollution issue, smaller microplastics are not visible with the naked ...
