Atmospheric deposition of organic contaminants in Norway: National moss survey 2015. NILU report

Schlabach, M.; Steinnes, E.; Uggerud, H.T.

For the second Norwegian Moss survey on organic contaminants 20 samples were collected on the Norwegian mainland in rural areas presumably little affected by local point sources of pollutants. PeCB, HCB, PCB, HCH, DDT, PBDE, DBDPE, HBCD, PFAS, and PAH were determined. There is a general trend of decreasing contamination from 2010 to 2015 for the POPs included in the survey. A trend of decreasing contamination with increasing latitude shown in the 2010 moss data is confirmed in the results from 2015. The results for PCB indicate release from local sources in the Oslo area.

Workshop on emerging pollutants in non-industrial indoor environments. NORMAN workshop report. NILU report

Bohlin-Nizzetto, P.

This workshop aimed to identify the current state of the art plus knowledge gaps and needs within the research field of CECs, covering both ¿old¿ and emerging SVOCs and NVOCs in non-industrial indoor environments. Further, it aimed to promote awareness of emerging pollutants in non-industrial indoor environments and the exchange of knowledge/ information, and to encourage enhanced collaboration by bringing together scientists in the field of CECs in indoor environments with expertise from building and consumer product sectors and stakeholders/regulatory authorities.

Mapping of 2-ring PAHs and SO2 around a FeSi-/Si-smelter. Passive air sampling around Finnfjord AS, October - December 2014 and analysis of silica dust. NILU rapport

Hak, C.; Halse, A.K.; Halvorsen, H.L.

NILU was commissioned by 8 Norwegian companies with FeSi-/Si-industry to perform passive air measurements of SO2 and PAH around the Finnfjord AS FeSi-smelter and to analyse microsilica dust samples from the companies.
Passive monthly samples were taken at 10 sampling sites around Finnfjord AS in the period October-December 2014. The PAH samples were analysed for 42 PAH compounds. 5-7-ring PAHs, i.e. particle bound components, were generally below the detection limit during the measurement period. There was no significant correlation of SO2 and PAH2-4-ring and thus no significant impact from the smelter was found in October-December 2014 for gaseous PAHs. An additional source of PAHs in winter was likely residential heating by wood burning.
