In a collaboration with Knut Breivik and Michael McLachlan, published by Environ. Sci. Technol. today, we introduce a novel approach to assess the potential of organic chemicals for LRT, which distinguishes between the potential for (i) dispersion, (ii) transfer and (iii) accumulation in remote environments.

Li and colleagues have assembled the state-of-the-art of selecting physical-chemical partitioning properties and degradation half lives in a massive review paper for the new journal ACS Environmental Au. This should be essential reading for anyone engaged in a modelling or assessment activity that requires such data.

The second paper to arise from our collaborative studies on biomagnification with the Toronto Zoo has just been published in Environmental Science & Technology. Using our completely non-invasive approach we found out that extremely high biomagnification in polar bears is a result of the combination of a high lipid diet with a high lipid assimilation efficiency. The paper has been selected as ACS Editors’ Choice!
