This report presents the results from the questionnaires based survey in Wuhan. Within 1086 valid questionnaires collected from the public, the results showed that most participants: 1) are young students with bachelor degree; 2) have basic knowledge about air pollution issues in Wuhan; 3) expressed their willingness to learn more AQ-related knowledge; 4) suggested to strength environmental awareness raising activities in Wuhan; and 5) strongly appeal to the local government to implement actions to improve the air quality.

BAPMAN Training Seminar: Advanced air quality management and health impacts. 25 - 29 November 2013, Kjeller, Norway. NILU OR

Randall, S.; Sivertsen, B.; Vo, D.T.; Sundseth, K.; Johnsrud, M.; Ahammad, Sk. S.

The Bangladesh Air Pollution Management (BAPMAN) project is an institutional-capacity building program where NILU lends the necessary Air Quality Management (AQM) tools and associated training to the Clean Air and Sustainable Environment (CASE) program at the Bangladesh Department of Environment (DoE). The last training seminar of the project was entitled "Advanced Air Quality Management and Health Impacts" and occurred at NILU from 25- 29 November 2013 as a part of the BAPMAN project. The seminar included three workshops: 1. Emissions - Improved competence with emissions inventories through completion of the emissions/dispersion exercise for brick kilns in Dhaka and write report based on findings; finalized top-down emissions report at national level for Bangladesh. 2. Monitoring Data - Advanced understanding of QC of monitoring data through preparation of monthly and annual reports for the data. 3. Health Impacts - Improved capacity in health impact assessment through completion of health impact exercise of PM exposure in Dhaka city and write report based on findings.

Multimedia models and observations in concert. A powerful tool to understand and manage organic contaminants. NILU OR

Krogseth, I.S.; Breivik, K.

This report summarizes results from a project funded by the Research Council of Norway (196191/S30). The overall goal was to better understand and predict relationships between emissions of organic chemicals of emerging concern and their levels in the environment and food-chains of the Nordic region through integrated monitoring and modeling studies. Four case studies were selected (i) cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMSs) in the Inner Oslofjord, (ii) cVMSs in the Norwegian Arctic (iii) short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) in the Nordic environment and (iv) risk-based model screening of chemicals in commerce in the Nordic countries. We also provide a brief introduction to the key multimedia modelling tools which were used. It is our hope that these tools, targeting the behaviour of contaminants under relevant environmental and climatic conditions, may assist Nordic environmental authorities interested in understanding and managing organic contaminants.
