Monitoring of long-range transported air pollutants in Norway, annual report 2013. NILU OR

Aas, W.; Solberg, S.; Yttri, K.E.

The present report presents results from the monitoring of atmospheric composition and deposition of air pollution in 2013 in the Norwegian rural background environment, and focuses on particulate and gaseous phase of inorganic constituents, particulate carbonaceous matter, ground level ozone and particulate matter.

Air Quality Impact Assessment, Kinyerezi, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Phase II process update. NILU OR

Randall, S.; Sivertsen, B.

This assessment of emissions from a planned power plant improvement project in Kinyerezi (Tanzania) is a follow-up to the Phase I assessment conducted by NILU in 2012 of the 150 MW dual-fuel plant. This Phase II assessment focuses solely on natural gas driven power plant with a total of 8 generators for a total of 345 MW. Concentration distributions from the planned power plant were generated using TAPM (The Air Pollution Model), using 2009 as the study period to remain consistent with the Phase I assessment. Annual CO2 emissions are estimated at 1.5 million tonnes/year, this is .2% of the total emissions for the entire country of Tanzania. NOx is the pollutant being emitted from the plant with the greatest impact at the local level, with maximum (1-hour) concentrations found in surrounding communities ranging from 10.7 - 33.2 µg/m3. The average annual concentration in these communities, and across the grid is low (highest being 1.4 µg/m3). The planned power plant at Kinyerezi does not alone exceed any local ambient air quality limit values or WHO guidelines.

Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation. Annual report 2013. NILU OR

Svendby, T.M.; Edvardsen, K.; Stebel, K.; Myhre, C.L.; Dahlback, A.

This is an annual report describing the activities and main results of the monitoring programme "Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation" for 2013. In 2013 the ozone values above Norway were close to the long-term mean at all sites. A clear decrease in the ozone layer above Norway during the period 1979-1997 stopped after 1998 and the ozone layer above Norway now seems to have stabilized.
