Johan Castberg oil field - Assessment of emissions to air. NILU rapport

Berglen, T. F.; Tønnesen, D.; Solberg, S.

The environmental impact of future emissions from activities at the Johan Castberg oil field has been investigated. Concerning emissions of CO2, CH4 og NMVOC, the total emissions rank Johan Castberg as a medium size field in Norway. For NOX and SOX, the environmental impact from deposition is considered to be small. Concerning formation of ozone from NOX emissions, the model estimates give an increase of N120 (number of days with 8-hrs running mean value higher than 120 µg/m3 ), up from 10 to 11. Effects of Black Carbon emissions from Johan Castberg is also estimated, and the climate impact is considered to be small.

Screening of PFAS and Dechlorane compounds in selected Arctic top predators. NILU report

Schlabach, M.; Gabrielsen, G. W.; Herzke, D.; Hanssen, L.; Routti, H.; Borgen, A.

This report summarizes the findings of a screening study into the occurrence of selected perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and dechloranes in Arctic top predators. The emerging PFCs F53 F53B, and PFBS were not detected neither in bird eggs nor in mammals. However, different dechloranes were detected in all samples.

Air quality monitoring in the border areas of Norway and Russia - progress report 2016. NILU rapport

Berglen, T. F.; Dauge, F.; Andresen, E.; Svendby, T. M.; Tønnesen, D.; Vadset, M.; Våler, R. L.

The nickel smelters in NW Russia emit large quantities of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and heavy metals. These emissions lead to enhanced concentrations of environmental pollutants in the border areas. The monitoring programme shows that air quality in Karpdalen violates Norwegian limit values for SO2 hourly mean values and daily mean values in 2016, as well as seasonal mean winter 2015/16.
