Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2015. NILU report

Herzke, D.; Nygård, T.; Heimstad, E.S.

We analysed biological samples from the terrestrial and urban environment for various inorganic and organic contaminants in the Oslo area. A foodchain approach was used, in order to detect bioaccumulation of the different compounds. The species analysed were earthworms, fieldfare, sparrowhawk, rats, tawny owl and red fox. Soil samples were also included in the study.

Air quality in Ny-Ålesund. Monitoring of local air quality 2014-2015. NILU report

Johnsrud, M.; Hermansen, O.; Tørnkvist, K.

The concentrations of the measured components are generally low and below national limit values for the protection of human health and critical levels for the protection of vegetation.
Wind from northern sectors gave the highest average concentrations of nitrogen oxides, which indicates the power station and the harbour as possible sources. From September 2014 to February 2015, volcanic eruptions at Iceland emitted large volumes of SO2, which gave episodes of elevated concentrations in Ny-Ålesund. The measurement results for CO2 show an annual variation with higher concentrations in the winter and lower in summer. Measured concentrations of CO were most likely caused by local snowmobile traffic and long-range transport of emissions from wildfires in North America.
