• Assessing microplastic as a vector for chemical entry into fish larvae using a novel tube-feeding approach 

      Norland, Sissel; Vorkamp, Katrin; Bogevik, André Sture; Koelmans, Albert A.; Diepens, Noël J.; Burgerhout, Erik; Hansen, Øyvind Jul; Puvanendran, Velmurugu; Rønnestad, Ivar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      A tube-feeding model for administering microplastic (MP, Ø = 30 μm) spheres to fish larvae was employed to quantify the uptake of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) into the larval body through a single administration ...
    • Bioaccumulation of mercury and transcriptional responses in tusk (Brosme brosme), a deep-water fish from a Norwegian fjord 

      Olsvik, Pål Asgeir; Mahjour Azad, Atabak; Yadetie, Fekadu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      High concentrations of mercury (Hg) have been documented in deep-water fish species from some Norwegian fjords. In this study, tusk (Brosme brosme) was sampled from four locations in the innermost parts of Sognefjorden in ...
    • Comparing the adsorption of methyl orange and malachite green on similar yet distinct polyamide microplastics: Uncovering hydrogen bond interactions 

      Wang, Kangkang; Kou, Yuli; Wang, Kefu; Liang, Siqi; Guo, Changyan; Wang, Wei; Lu, Yi; Wang, Jide (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Microplastics (MPs) and dye pollutants are widespread in aquatic environments. Here, the adsorption characteristics of anionic dye methyl orange (MO) and cationic dye malachite green (MG) on polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyamide ...
    • Quantitative assessment of visual microscopy as a tool for microplastic research: Recommendations for improving methods and reporting

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Microscopy is often the first step in microplastic analysis and is generally followed by spectroscopy to confirm material type. The value of microscopy lies in its ability to provide count, size, color, and morphological ...
