Journal of Environmental Exposure Assessment The Journal of Environmental Exposure Assessment, with Stuart Harrad serving as Editor-in-Chief, welcomes high-quality manuscripts covering all aspects of human exposure to organic and inorganic chemical pollutants. This includes, but is not limited to, exposure modeling, experimental biomonitoring....

New publication from our research work is presented, combining modeling with empirical screening of longis presented, combining modeling with empirical screening of long-range atmospheric transport and deposition profiles for priority alkylated polycyclic aromatic substances-range atmospheric transport and deposition profiles for priority alkylated polycyclic aromatic substances as outcome of our Bioanalytical research team at NMBU:
A first study combining modeling with empirical screening of long-range atmospheric transport and deposition profiles for priority alkylated polycyclic aromatic substances is presented. Our research provided evidence of elevated atmospheric deposition of several aPACs in Antarctic environments. Enjoy reading.

PhD scholarship within Organic Analytical Chemistry (272476) | Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) Job title: PhD scholarship within Organic Analytical Chemistry (272476), Employer: Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), Deadline: Monday, January 13, 2025

Now it´s official! The Kick-off meeting of the ArcSolution project has officially initiated the research work which is aiming at the development of new trans-disciplinary strategies for mitigation and remediation of pollutant sources in the Arctic. For this ambitious goal, we will apply integrated OneHealth principles. for details, see: https://site.nord.no/arcsolution/about/
