This is a story about the Pesticide Laboratory, currently the Environmental Toxicology Laboratory, which is part of the Section for pharmacology and toxicology at NMBU Veterinary School. The laboratory had, and has, a central role when it comes to this applies to environmental chemical analysis and ...

Ten different marine oils for human consumption, three fish oils, three seal oils, three krill oils and one crude oil, were analyzed for dioxins, dioxin-like PCBs, non-dioxin-like PCBs, polybrominated flame retardants, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, selenium, 3-MCP 3-MCPD esters and glycidyl...

Institute of Marine Research has analysed hydrocarbons (PAH and THC) in sediments from five locations in the MAREANO area, including sediment cores. At some of the locations brominated flame retardants (PBDE), chlorinated contaminants (PCB and pesticides) and emerging organic contaminants (PFAS,...

In this study, a comprehensive survey of important contaminants in beaked redfish (Sebastes mentella) and golden redfish (Sebastes norvegicus) from Norwegian waters was conducted. The concentrations of heavy metals and several different organic pollutants in fillet of 522 beaked redfish and 223...

Najas marina L. (Spiny naiad, spiny water nymph) is a rare plant in Norway, known only from six municipalities along the southern coast of the country. Its current Red List category is EN. The species has in "recent times" been known from ca 15 localities (a locality is usually a lake). The author...

The knowledge on ammonia concentration (NH₃) in Norwegian dairy herds is scarce and also somewhat old. The aim of present study was, hence, to investigate NH3 concentration in Norwegian dairy barns. A selection of 62 dairy herds located in Hedmark, Oppland, Nordland and in the north-western part of ...

Institute of Marine Research has analysed hydrocarbons (PAH and THC) in sediments from 14 locations in the MAREANO area, including 7 sediment cores. At some of the locations brominated flame retardants (PBDE) and chlorinated contaminants (PCB and pesticides) were also analysed. The samples were...

Institute of Marine Research has analysed PFAS, alkylphenols, alkylphenol ethoxylates and bisphenol A (BPA) in sediments collected at 32-35 locations in the MAREANO area in 2007-2017. Low levels of PFAS were found, in the Norwegian Environmental Agency's class II for PFOA at all the locations, and...

Ten different marine oils for human consumption; five fish oils, two mixed fish- and plant oils, one krill oil and two microalgae oils, were analysed for dioxins, dioxin-like PCBs, non-dioxin-like PCBs, polybrominated flame retardants, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, selenium, 3-MCPD, 3-MCPD...

In Norway intensive monitoring was carried out at 8 plots in 2005 in order to observe the development of the forest ecosystems. These plots are a part of the Norwegian Monitoring Programme for Forest Damage and are also a part of the European intensive forest monitoring network in 37 countries with ...
