Air quality monitoring in the border areas of Norway and Russia - progress report April 2014-March 2015. NILU OR

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

The nikkel smelters in NW Russia close to the Norwegian border emit large quantities of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and heavy metals. These emissions lead to enhanced concentrations of environmental pollutants in the border areas, also at the Norwegian side of the border. This report is part of the national environmental monitoring program and includes air quality monitoring, precipitation chemistry and meteorology.

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.

Pollutant emissions from LNG fuelled ships. Assessment and recommendations. NILU OR

Lopez-Aparicio, S.; Tønnesen, D.

This report is part of the project "Developing the programme of measures for the Estonian marine area in compliance with the requirements of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive, including feasibility study on using LNG as an alternative ship fuel to reduce pollution". This report presents and assesses the available information regarding pollutant emission factors (NOx, particulate matter, organic compounds) for ships using Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) as fuel. This evaluation, based on a literature review, will support the selection of scenarios for using LNG along with the information from the feasibility study performed within the project.

Monitoring of long-range transported air pollutants in Norway, annual report 2014. NILU OR

Aas, W.; Platt, S.; Solberg, S.; Yttri, K.E.

This report presents results from the monitoring of atmospheric composition and deposition of air
pollution in 2014 in the Norwegian rural background environment, and focuses on particulate and
gaseous phase of inorganic constituents, particulate carbonaceous matter, ground level ozone and
particulate matter.
