The commercial farming of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, typically requires the periodic
application of copper-based anti-foulants and chemotherapeutic treatments, including …

Reliable risk assessment approaches for Arctic environments are requested to manage
potential impacts associated with increased activities in Arctic regions. We performed toxicity …

Unlike conventional pollutants, pharmaceutical residues are continuously discharged at low
levels (low to mid ng l− 1 concentrations), which results in the chronic contamination of non …

Given the potential environmental consequences of dumped dredged harbour sediments it
