Since the last Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) effort to review biological effects of exposure organohalogen compounds (OHCs) in biota, there has been a considerable number new effect studies. Here, we provide an update on state knowledge OHC, also include mercury, and/or associated key marine terrestrial mammal bird species as well fish by reviewing literature published since AMAP assessment 2010. We aimed at updating how single but combined health are or can be mixtures...
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent, bioaccumulative anthropogenic compounds associated with adverse health impacts on humans wildlife. PFAS production changed in North America Europe around the year 2000, but wildlife appear to vary across species location. Unlike other mammal species, cetaceans lack enzyme for transforming an important intermediate precursor (perfluorooctane sulfonamide: FOSA), into a prevalent compound most (perfluorooctanesulfonate: PFOS). Thus,...
Possessing large brains and complex behavioral patterns, cetaceans are believed to be highly intelligent. Their brains, which the largest in Animal Kingdom have enormous gyrification compared with terrestrial mammals, long been of scientific interest. Few studies, however, report total number brain cells cetaceans, even fewer used unbiased counting methods. In this study, using stereological methods, we estimated neocortex long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas) brain. For first time,...
Wastewater-based epidemiology is an efficient way to assess illicit drug use, complementing currently used methods retrieved from different data sources. The aim of this study compare stimulant use in five Nordic capital cities that include for the first time wastewater samples Torshavn Faroe Islands. Currently there are no published reports these capitals. All were analyzed using solid phase extraction and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry....
Ozonation is a viable option to improve the removal of micropollutants (MPs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nevertheless, application ozonation hindered by its high energy requirements and uncertainties regarding formation toxic transformation products process. Energy can be reduced with pre-ozone treatment, such as biological activated carbon (BAC) filter, that removes part effluent organic matter before ozonation. This study investigated combination BAC filtration followed (the...
Abstract The brominated flame retardants hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) are high-production-volume chemicals. In recent years, their presence has been reported in sediment biota from the marine environment. this study, an analytical method was developed for simultaneous determination of HBCD, TBBPA, possible metabolite dimethyl-TBBPA. applied a preliminary screening egg, liver, adipose tissue Greenland Faroe Islands. α-HBCD detected 35 36 analysed samples...
