John Munthe,Jenny Lexén,Tina Skårman,Leo Posthuma,Werner Brack,Rolf Altenburger,Eva Brorström-Lundén,Dirk Bunke,Michael Faust,Magnus Rahmberg,Frank Sleeuwaert,Jaroslav Slobodnik,Jos van Gils,Annemarie P. van Wezel +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, a solution-focused approach is proposed to achieve harmonisation of existing legislation and an efficient control of chemical contamination of European waters, including increased ambitions (in monitoring, modelling, and risk assessment), cooperation and dialogue.

TL;DR: In this article, a new multidisciplinary approach to manage environmental problems and support the safeguard of citizens health from mercury pollution is proposed by the EMECAP (European Mercury Emission from Chlor-Alkali Plants; Contract N° QLK4-CT-2000-00489) project.

Mercury accumulation in leaves of different plant types – the significance of tissue age and specific leaf area
Håkan Pleijel,Jenny Klingberg,Michelle Nerentorp,Malin Broberg,Brigitte Nyirambangutse,John Munthe,Göran Wallin +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mercury concentration in foliage from a diverse set of plant types, locations and sampling periods was explored to study whether there is a continuous accumulation of Hg in leaves/needles over time.
Book ChapterDOI
Additives and Other Hazardous Compounds in Electronic Products and Their Waste
Jenny Westerdahl,Mohammed Belhaj,Tomas Rydberg,John Munthe,R. M. Darbra,Alba Àgueda,Susanne Heise,Lou Ziyang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the end-of-life phase has been identified as problematic with respect to emissions of potentially hazardous additives, such as metals and organic compounds, which may be emitted from the products during its life cycle.
INTERCOMPARISON STUDY OF NUMERICAL MODELS FOR LONG-RANGE ATMOSPHERIC TRANSPORT OF MERCURY Stage I. Comparison of chemical modules for mercury transformations in a cloud/fog environment
Alexey Ryaboshapko,Ilia Ilyin,Russell Bullock,Us-Epa Usa,Ralf Ebinghaus,John Munthe,Gerhard Petersen +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare modelling results with long-term observations and comparison of calculated items of regional balances in order to compare the results of their model with longterm observations.
