Kimek Kirkenes - monitoring of dust Dec. 2013 - May 2014. NILU OR

Berglen, T.F.; Andresen, E.; Spachmo, B.

NILU has conducted a monitoring program at the Kimek industrial site in Kirkenes from Dec. 2013 ¿ May 2014 in order to quantify dust. The results show high concentrations in 4 months out of 6. Maximum value was 23,00 g dust/(m2 30 days), at station 2 in February. There were high values observed also in periods with no sandblasting of ships, e.g. 18,94 g/(m2 30 days) at station 2 in January. This indicates that there are other significant sources of dust in the area. The values at the neighbours close to Kimek are probably lower than the threshold value stated in the Norwegian legislation (5 g dust/(m2 30 days), due to the fact that they are located on the other side of the tall Kimek shipyard building and not downstream in the prevailing wind direction.

The nikkel smelters in NW Russia close to the Norwegian border emit large quantities of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and heavy metals. These emissions lead to enhanced concentrations of environmental pollutants in the border areas, also at the Norwegian side of the border. This report is part of the national environmental monitoring program and includes air quality monitoring, precipitation chemistry and meteorology.
