Dette trenger vi for å forstå mikroplast-problematikken bedre
Kronikk: Stadig økende kunnskap om mikroplast i miljøet, bringer med seg nye utfordringer. Hvordan skal vi bruke fakta fra forskningen og formidle den videre til folk flest? Hva er viktig om mikroplast, hva er mindre viktig, og – ikke minst – hva er riktig?

PATTERN
Plastic pollution in freshwater environments is a pressing global concern due to its ability to accumulate in the environment. The long-term impacts of this pollution on freshwater ecosystems are still to understand. In PATTERN project, we aim to understand how plastics can influence nutrient composition and the natural exchanges in biological information, with a focus on the biofilms colonizing plastic’s surface. We aim to rate the environmental relevance of these processes and to assess the threshold at which plastic pollution disrupts freshwater ecosystem functioning.

Lower levels of contaminants along the Norwegian coast – but still high concentrations of mercury in cod in some urban areas
The contaminant concentrations in the marine environment are decreasing along the Norwegian coastline – but there are some exceptions. In many urban areas, long-term trends for mercury in cod fillet are upwards. In the Inner Oslofjord, mercury levels in cod fillet have increased over the past 35 years, but leveled out during the past 10 years.

ZeroPM: Zero Pollution from Persistent, Mobile Substances
Persistent, mobile (PM) substances are being recognized as serious threats to the safety of water resources. In many cases, drinking water supplies have to be purified using expensive technologies because of contamination by PM substances. As part of this effort, a new, wide-reaching European Research project with NIVA as one of the partners, Zero Pollution of Persistent, Mobile substances, (ZeroPM) will start in autumn 2021.
