Indoor air quality investigation sector E3-02. NILU OR
Abu Dhabi Municipality has chosen the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) to perform indoor air quality investigation for six buildings in sector E3-02 (one School, one Mosque, one commercial building and three Residential building).
The main goal of this task is to define the main pollutants that could be found in the buildings and to define the status of existing buildings with respect to indoor air quality.
The results of measurements that were conducted at different locations have shown that there was a wide mold growth in the duct of ventilation system due to poor maintenance in all studied buildings, also that carbon dioxide (CO2) and voltaic organic compound (VOC) are considered the main pollutants that could found and affect the indoor air quality in these buildings.
In most of tested locations, the CO2 concentration has exceeded the standard limit, the readings were very high in the school, mosque, and to a lesser extent in commercial building.

Assessment of traffic noise and mitigation options for Al Salam Street. NILU OR
Acting on request from the Abu Dhabi Municipality, Norwegian Institute for Air Research has been asked by the Abu Dhabi Municipality to evaluate the current noise levels on Salam Street and recommend mitigation measures to control the noise.
NILU provided traffic count data collected near the Sheikh Zayed Bridge and these were used in conjunction with an acoustic model to predict the existing noise conditions at 126 sensitive receptor locations.The predicted sound levels were compared to measured sound levels collected at seven (7) locations along Al Salam Street to validate the results of the modelling. This comparison showed strong correlation between the modelled and measured results.
Several mitigation options provided by NILU were incorporated into subsequent runs of the baseline model in order to predict the effectiveness of each option. It was found that the installation of a 5 m barrier adjacent to the outbound lanes of Al Salam Street would be the most effective individual mitigation option.
