    • Microplastics concentrations in soil along a racetrack 

      Mengistu, Demmelash; Nilsen, Vegard; Coutris, Claire; Amdal, Helena Marie; Heistad, Arve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-12-20)
      Motorsport is known for its high tire wear due to speed, cornering, and high acceleration/deceleration activities. However, studies on the generation of microplastics from racetracks are rare. This study aimed at quantifying ...
    • Nutrient Recovery from Anaerobically Treated Blackwater and Improving Its Effluent Quality through Microalgae Biomass Production 

      Eshetu Moges, Melesse; Heistad, Arve; Heidorn, Thorsten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02-21)
      The blackwater stream of domestic wastewater contains energy and the majority of nutrients that can contribute to a circular economy. Hygienically safe and odor-free nutrient solution produced from anaerobically treated ...
    • On-site treated wastewater disposal systems – The role of stratified filter medias for reducing the risk of pollution 

      Eregno, Fasil; Heistad, Arve (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-17)
      The transmission of pathogens from partially or fully treated wastewater to different water sources are a pervasive risk to public health. To reduce the risk, the integration of source separation, on-site greywater treatment ...
    • Tire wear particles concentrations in gully pot sediments 

      Mengistu, Demmelash; Heistad, Arve; Coutris, Claire (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-15)
      While tire wear and tear is known to be a major source of microplastics in the environment, its monitoring is still hampered by the lack of analytical methods able to provide concentrations in environmental matrices. ...
