• Toxicity of microplastics and natural particles in the freshwater dipteran Chironomus riparius: Same same but different? 

      Scherer, Christian; Wolf, Raoul; Völker, Johannes; Stock, Friederike; Brennhold, Nicole; Reifferscheid, Georg; Wagner, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Microplastics (MP) are contaminants of emerging concern in aquatic ecosystems. While the number of studies is rapidly increasing, a comparison of the toxicity of MP and natural particulate matter is largely missing. In ...
    • Unmanned vehicle and hyperspectral imager for a more rapid microplastics sampling and analysis. 

      Deschenes, C; Zolich, Artur; Wagner, Martin; Johnsen, Geir; Johansen, Tor Arne; Faltynkova, Andrea (Journal article, 2023)
      In this paper, we present a proof-of-concept study aiming to improve the sampling and analysis of microplastics (MPs) by implementing a novel methodology combining an autonomous surface vehicle and a near-infrared hyperspectral ...
    • Validating reproducible methods for the analysis of microplastics in environmental samples 

      Jafari, Mahnaz (Master thesis, 2022)
      Harmoniserte eller sammenlignbare metoder for kvantifisering av mikroplast er avgjørende for å kartlegge, karakterisere og øke nøyaktigheten av å beskrive omfanget og endringene over tid av mikroplastforurensning. Slike ...
    • A vision for safer food contact materials: Public health concerns as drivers for improved testing 

      Muncke, Jane; Andersson, Anna-Maria; Backhaus, Thomas; Belcher, Scott M.; Boucher, Justin M.; Carney Almroth, Bethanie; Collins, Terrence J.; Geueke, Birgit; Groh, Ksenia J.; Heindel, Jerrold J.; von Hippel, Frank A.; Legler, Juliette; Maffini, Maricel V.; Martin, Olwenn V.; Peterson Myers, John; Nadal, Angel; Nerin, Cristina; Soto, Ana M.; Trasande, Leonardo; Vandenberg, Laura N.; Wagner, Martin; Zimmermann, Lisa; Thomas Zoeller, Zoeller; Scheringer, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Food contact materials (FCMs) and food contact articles are ubiquitous in today’s globalized food system. Chemicals migrate from FCMs into foodstuffs, so called food contact chemicals (FCCs), but current regulatory ...
    • What you extract is what you see: Optimising the preparation of water and wastewater samples for in vitro bioassays 

      Abbas, Aennes; Schneider, Ilona; Bollmann, Anna; Funke, J.; Oehlmann, Jörg; Prasse, C; Schulte-Oehlmann, Ulrike; Seitz, Wolfram; Ternes, Thomas A; Weber, M; Wesely, W; Wagner, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The assessment of water quality is crucial for safeguarding drinking water resources and ecosystem integrity. To this end, sample preparation and extraction is critically important, especially when investigating emerging ...
    • When Fluorescence Is not a Particle: The Tissue Translocation of Microplastics in Daphnia magna Seems an Artifact 

      Schur, Christoph; Rist, Sinja; Baun, Anders; Mayer, Philipp; Hartmann, Nanna; Wagner, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Previous research reported the translocation of nano‐ and microplastics from the gastrointestinal tract to tissues in Daphnia magna, most prominently of fluorescent polystyrene beads to lipid droplets. For particles >300 ...
