Myhre, C.L.; Hermansen, O.; Fiebig, M.; Lunder, C.; Fjæraa, A.M.; Stebel, K.; Platt, M.; Hansen. G.; Svendby, T.; Schmidbauer, N.; Krognes, T.

The report summaries the activities and results of the greenhouse gas monitoring at the Zeppelin Observatory situated on Svalbard in Arctic Norway during the period 2001-2014 and the greenhouse gas monitoring and aerosol observations from Birkenes for 2009-2014.

Intercomparison of BTEX measurements and revision of historical BTEX data in Oslo. NILU OR

Schmidbauer, N.

Parallel measurements of BTEX with diffusive sampling in Oslo confirmed large deviations between the two involved laboratories NILU and Molab. The following investigation identified that Molab was using wrong uptake rates in their final calculation of the results. All BTEX results delivered by Molab between 2008 and 2014 have to be revised downwards with factors between 2,4 and 2,9.

Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2014. NILU OR

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

On an assignment from the Norwegian Environmental Agency, the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) in collaboration with the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) collected and analysed biological samples from terrestrial and urban regions for various inorganic and organic contaminants. The purpose of this report is to provide an updated assessment of pollution present within an urban environment in Norway, compared with that of more rural sites. The selected species were sparrowhawk and fieldfare (eggs), red fox (liver) and earthworms. Of all the organisms and tissues measured in the study, sparrowhawk eggs had the highest average concentration of the sum of all organic pollutants measured, followed by fieldfare, earthworm and red fox on a wet weight basis. Higher concentrations in the urban site, Oslo, compared to the rural site were observed for sparrowhawk and earthworms.
