Journal ArticleDOI

Current state of knowledge on biological effects from contaminants on arctic wildlife and fish

Rune Dietz, +73 more
TL;DR: This assessment made use of risk quotient calculations to summarize the cumulative effects of different OHC classes and mercury for which critical body burdens can be estimated for wildlife across the Arctic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tolerance induction and succession in microalgae communities exposed to copper and atrazine

TL;DR: Investigation of how copper and atrazine affect the tolerance of microalgal communities and the succession of species in large freshwater enclosures found added copper was sufficient to affect the phytoplankton community, as was confirmed by changes in species composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of heterotrophic prokaryotic abundance and growth rate in hypersaline planktonic environments

TL;DR: It is suggested that 3 types of functional commu- nities occur in the same saltern system: (1) an active, substrate-limited community in the low salinity ponds; (2) anactive, grazer-controlledcommunity in the medium salinity Pond; and (3) a possibly dormant, probably substrate- limited, community inThe high salinity pond.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modelling of immune, reproductive and carcinogenic effects from contaminant exposure in polar bears (Ursus maritimus) across the Arctic

TL;DR: Critical Daily Doses should be investigated in "ex vivo" dose-response studies on polar bears to replace laboratory studies on rats to reveal whether high RQs are maintained, and corroborate and lend further support to previous assessments of the possible adverse health effects of exposure to known and measured OHCs in polar bears.
