      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 ...
    • Monitoring litter and microplastics in Arctic mammals and bird 

      Lusher, Amy; Provencher, Jennifer F.; Baak, Julia E.; Hamilton, Bonnie M.; Vorkamp, Katrin; Hallanger, Ingeborg G.; Pijogge, Liz; Liboiron, Max; Bourdages, Madelaine; Hammer, Sjúrður; Gavrilo, Maria; Vermaire, Jesse; Linnebjerg, Jannie F.; Mallory, Mark L.; Gabrielsen, Geir W. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Plastic pollution has been reported to affect Arctic mammals and birds. There are strengths and limitations to monitoring litter and microplastics using Arctic mammals and birds. One strength is the direct use of these ...
    • 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 ...
