In vitro and in vivo effects of HAL on porphyrin production in rat bladder cancer cells (AY27)
Biodegradation of oil spill dispersant surfactants in cold seawater
While biodegradation of chemically dispersed oil has been well documented, only a few studies have focused on the degradation of the dispersant compounds themselves. The objective of this study was to determine the biodegradation of dispersant surfactants in cold seawater, relevant for deep sea or...
Toxicity of produced water from offshore oil production in Norway and corresponding polar and apolar fractions
Regulation of produced water (PW) discharges on the Norwegian continental shelf is based on a maximum oil-in-water limit of 30 mg L¬1. However, the use of conventional oil quantification methods based on traditional GC is limited when it comes to polar compounds that originate from produced crude...

Multiple-stressor effects in an apex predator: combined influence of pollutants and sea ice decline on lipid metabolism in polar bears
There is growing evidence from experimental and human epidemiological studies that many pollutants can disrupt lipid metabolism. In Arctic wildlife, the occurrence of such compounds could have serious consequences for seasonal feeders. We set out to study whether organohalogenated compounds (OHCs...

Do recycled rubber tyres pose a risk for the marine environment? A chemical, physical and effects assessment
Globally, car tyres have been identified as one of the most significant sources of microplastic (MPs) particles to the environment. Due to the large production volumes and their persistent nature, the disposal of used tyres has also been a major challenge in waste management, making tyre recycling a...
