Adsorption of phenanthrene to carbon nanotubes and its influence on phenanthrene bioavailability/toxicity in aquatic organisms
Glomstad, Berit (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:323, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) which due to their unique properties are being incorporated into a growing number of applications. The increased production and use of CNTs increases the risk of ... -
Combined effects of exposure to engineered silver nanoparticles and the water-soluble fraction of crude oil in the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus
Farkas, Julia; Cappadona, V; Olsen, Anders Johny; Hansen, Bjørn Henrik; Posch, Wilfried; Ciesielski, Tomasz Maciej; Goodhead, Rhys; Wilflingseder, Doris; Blatzer, M; Altin, Dag; Moger, Julian; Booth, Andrew; Jenssen, Bjørn Munro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)While it is likely that ENPs may occur together with other contaminants in nature, the combined effects of exposure to both ENPs and environmental contaminants are not studied sufficiently. In this study, we investigated ... -
Dispersion Characterization of Carbon Nanotubes in Freshwater Media and Implications of their Adsorption Behavior for the Bioavailability and acute Toxicity of Phenanthrene in Daphnia magna.
Zindler, Florian (Master thesis, 2015)To ensure the reproducibility of studies with engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) and to be able to evaluate the study outcomes properly, the state of the investigated ENMs dispersions needs to be characterized. In the course ... -
Effect of Surface Chemistry and Physical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes on the Adsorption of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Aqueous Solutions
Ramzan, Muhammad (Master thesis, 2013)Adsorption behavior of seven different carbon nanotubes (CNTs) towards polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was studied in moderately hard reconstituted water (MHRW) with and without dissolved natural organic matter ... -
Investigation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) absorption from seawater to model microplastic particles

Investigation on the Experimental Determination of Crude Oil in the Faeces from the Marine Copepod Calanus finmarchicus.
Larsen, Katrine Hervik (Master thesis, 2012)Oil spilled into the ocean is subjected to weathering processes which alter the spilled or discharged oil. Natural dispersion is a weathering process which removes oil from the sea surface by breaking the oil into droplets. ... -
Parameters Governing the Adsorption of Crude and Bunker Fuel Oils to Seawater Suspended Particulate Matter
Sørensen, Lisbet (Master thesis, 2012)In this study, parameters influencing the adsorption of dispersed oil droplets to suspended particulate matter (SPM) in seawater were investigated. The interaction between oil and SPMs can alter the ultimate fate of oil ... -
The use of GRADE-CERQual in qualitative evidence synthesis: an evaluation of fidelity and reporting
Wainwright, Megan; Zahroh, Rana Islamiah; Tunçalp, Özge; Booth, Andrew; Bohren, Meghan A.; Noyes, Jane; Cheng, Weilong; Munthe-Kaas, Heather Eileen Menzies; Lewin, Simon Arnold (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background GRADE-CERQual (Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative Research) is a methodological approach to systematically and transparently assess how much confidence decision makers can place in individual ... -
UV degradation of natural and synthetic microfibers causes fragmentation and release of polymer degradation products and chemical additives
Sørensen, Lisbet; Groven, Anette Synnøve; Hovsbakken, Ingrid Alver; Del Puerto, Oihane; Krause, Daniel Franklin; Sarno, Antonio; Booth, Andrew (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A high proportion of the total microplastic (MP) load in the marine environment has been identified as microfibers (MFs), with polyester (PET) and polyamide (PA) typically found in the highest abundance. The potential for ...
