Concept of air quality e-reporting - experiences of Norway. Guiding document for GIOS. NILU OR

Ødegård, R.; Obracaj, A.; Stoll, C.

NILU and GIO¿, Poland, are implementing the project ¿Strengthening the air quality assessment system in Poland, based on Norwegian experience¿ as part of the programme ¿Improving Environmental Monitoring and Inspection¿ within the framework of the European Economic Area 2009¿2014.
The European Environment Agency (EEA) has moved towards a new reporting mechanism for reporting and sharing air quality data and information, called e-reporting. This mechanism is based on the Implementing Decision and a shared information system for electronic reporting ¿ aligned with the INSPIRE directive and considering inputs and outputs from the GMES Atmospheric Services.
This report is a technical report that are to be used as a guide by GIOS as input to the Polish implementation of the e-reporting obligations. The report is based on the Norwegian implementation. The report describes how Norway has implemented the new e-reporting schemas, illustrated through data flow figures and XML examples.

Thomas, K.; Schlabach, M.; Langford, K.; Reid, M.; Fjeld, E.; Øxnevad, S.; Rundberget, T.; Bæk, K.; Rostkowski, P.; Röhler, L.; Borgen, A.

The occurrence and environmental risk of a number of phosphites and selected PBT substances are reported for wastewater effluents and leachates, as well as sediments and biota from Oslofjord and Lake Mjøsa. In addition a suspect and non-target screening approach was applied to approximatley half of the biota samples.

Investigation of outdoor textiles and gear with respect to determine the content of ionic perfluorinated substances (PFASs). Evaluation of results. NILU OR

Hanssen, L.; Herzke, D.

NILU has on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency determined the concentration of ionic perfluorinated substances (PFASs), including PFOA, in outdoor gear.
Of the investigated 18 items, no PFAS could be detected at all in nine of them. Two samples contained PFOA exceeding the limit of 1 µg/m2. The quality assurance where three replicates of one sample were extracted had a relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 10% for all detected substances except one (PFTrDA). Other quality measures such as recovery calculations and blanks shows that the method used for extraction is suitable for these types of matrices and substances. PFOS was not present in the items investigated, indicating that the textile industry manages to effectively avoid PFOS in their production processes.
