      Huber, Sandra; Nygård, Torgeir; Warner, Nicholas Alexander; Remberger, Mikael; Harju, Mikael; Uggerud, Hilde Thelle; Kaj, Lennart; Schalbach, Martin; Hanssen, Linda (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2014)
      I dette kartleggingsprosjektet ble analysert konsentrasjonene til en lang rekke uorganiske og organiske miljøgifter, som metaller, organotinn, polysykliske aromatiske hydrokarboner, polyklorerte bifenyler og metabolitter, klorerte parafiner, klororganiske pesticider og andre pesticider, per- og polyfluoralkylstoffer, deklorane pluss, oktaklorostyren, organofosfor flammehemmere, bromerte flammehemmere, ...
    • Kongeørn i Finnmark. Årsrapport 2012 

      Jacobsen, Karl Otto; Johnsen, Trond Vidar; Stien, Audun; Nygård, Torgeir; Kleven, Oddmund; Opgård, Olaf; Johansen, kenneth; Østlyngen, Arve; Myklevoll, Vidar (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2013)
      Målet med prosjektet er å framskaffe økt kunnskap om bestanden av kongeørn i Finnmark. Gjennom å studere atferd, valg av byttedyr, reproduksjon og trekkmønster er kunnskapen nå betydelig forbedret. Kongeørna er studert over tolv feltsesonger (2001-2012) i de indre områdene av Porsanger, Karasjok og Tana. Det er også gjennomført studier i Alta og Kautokeino av rovfuglgruppa i Alta. I perioden ...
    • New insights from an eight-year study on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in an urban terrestrial ecosystem 

      Heimstad, Eldbjørg Sofie; Nygård, Torgeir; Moe, Børge; Herzke, Dorte (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-06)
      Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were analysed in a high number of terrestrial samples of soil, earthworm, bird eggs and liver from red fox and brown rat in an urban area in Norway from 2013 to 2020. PFOS and the long chain PFCAs were the most dominating compounds in all samples, proving their ubiquitous distribution. Other less studied compounds such as 6:2 FTS were first and foremost ...
    • Screening new PFAS compounds 2018 

      Hanssen, Linda; Herzke, Dorte; Nikiforov, Vladimir; Moe, Børge; Nygård, Torgeir; van Dijk, Jiska Joanneke; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Fuglei, Eva; Yeung, Leo; Vogelsang, Christian; Carlsson, Pernilla Marianne (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2019)
      This screening project has focused on the occurrence of conventional andemerging PFASs in terrestrial and marine environments, including the Arctic. Conventional PFASs were found to be wide-spread in the environment and for the first time in Norway reported in wolf, a top predator from the terrestrial environment.Otters living in close proximity to human settlements and preying on the marine food ...
    • Targeted PFAS analyses and Extractable Organofluorine – Enhancing our Understanding of the presence of unknown PFAS in Norwegian wildlife 

      Herzke, Dorte; Nikiforov, Vladimir; Yeung, Leo WY.; Moe, Børge; Routti, Heli Anna Irmeli; Nygård, Torgeir; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Hanssen, Linda (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-17)
      With the current possible presence of thousands of PFAS compounds in industrial emissions, there is an increasing need to assess the impacts of PFAS regulation of conventional PFAS on one hand and the exposure to emerging and yet unknown PFAS on the other. Today’s analytical methodologies using targeted approaches are not sufficient to determine the complete suite of PFAS present. To evaluate the ...
