The resulting biochar fulfilled all the requirements for premium quality, according ... -
How to determine the environmental exposure of PAHs originating from biochar
Mayer, Philipp; Hilber, Isabel; Gouliarmou, Varvara; Hale, Sarah; Cornelissen, Gerard; Bucheli, Thomas D (Journal article, 2016)Biochars are obtained by pyrolysing biomass materials and are increasingly used within the agricultural sector. Owing to the production process, biochars can contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the high mg/kg ... -
In situ benthic flow-through chambers to determine sediment-to-water fluxes of legacy hydrophobic organic contaminants
Mustajärvi, Lukas; Eek, Espen; Cornelissen, Gerard; Eriksson-Wiklund, Ann-Kristin; Undeman, Emma; Sobek, Anna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Contaminated sediment can release hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) and thereby act as a secondary source of primarily legacy hazardous substances to the water column. There is therefore a need for assessments of the ... -
