Silicon alloys are produced by carbothermic reduction of quartz in a submerged arc furnace. This high-temperature pyrolytic process is a source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are a group of aromatic organic molecules with known mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. In this study, the emission of oxy- and nitro-PAHs from a pilot-scale Si furnace, with varying process conditions such as oxygen level, flue gas recirculation (FGR), and off-gas flow, was investigated. Analysis shows the presence of both oxy- and nitro-PAH species in all experiments, believed to be formed from radical-induced substitution reactions initiated by SiO combustion and NOx formation. During Si production without FGR, the levels of oxy- and nitro-PAHs range between 1.1 and 4.4 μg Nm−3, independent of the flue gas flow rate. With increasing FGR (0–82.5%) and decreasing oxygen level (20.7–13.3%), the concentrations of both oxy- and nitro-PAHs increase to 36.6 and 65.9 μg Nm−3, respectively. When the levels of substituted PAHs increase, species such as 4-nitropyrene and 1,2-benzanthraquinone are in abundance compared to their parent PAHs. Experiments at lower flue gas flow (500 Nm3 h−1 versus 1000 Nm3 h−1) generally produce less substituted PAHs, as well as SiO2 particulate matter and NOx, where the latter two parameters have a 99% correlation in this study.

This report provides a summary of the quality analysis of the EU Member States’ submission under 18 (1) (b) of the Regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action (EU) 2018/1999 conducted in 2021. Under this obligation EU Member States have to submit updated GHG projections and related information biennially. The reported information undergoes several phases of QA/QC checks consisting of checks on timeliness, accuracy, completeness, consistency and comparability. Details on the underlying QA/QC procedure are described in ETC/CME Eionet Report 7/2021.

Analyses of selected organic contaminants and metals in drinking bottles. Technical report.
On behalf of Norwegian Consumer Council NILU has conducted analyses of organic contaminants and metals in the leachate from selected drinking bottles. The simulation of the leakage is conducted based on a compilation of the methods described within NS-EN-1186-9 and NS-EN-13130-1. The instrumental analytical methods used were already established at NILU and NIVA. A number of different organic contaminants and metals have been found in trace amounts in the different products.

Analyses of selected organic contaminants and metals in coffee cups. Technical report.
NILU har på vegne av Forbrukerrådet, bestemt innholdet av organiske forurensninger og tungmetaller i utlekkingsvæske fra utvalgte kaffekopper. Simuleringen av lekkasjen er basert på en sammenstilling av metodene beskrevet i NS-EN-1186-9 og NS-EN-13130-1. De instrumentelle analysemetodene som ble benyttet var allerede etablert hos NILU og NIVA. En rekke forskjellige organiske forurensninger og metaller har blitt funnet i spormengder i de ulike produktene.
