Air quality monitoring in the border areas of Norway and Russia - progress report April 2013-March 2014. NILU OR

Berglen, T.F.; Dauge, F.; Andresen, E.; Haugsbakk, I.; Nilsson, L.O.; Ofstad, T.; 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.

Air Quality Impact Assessment, Kinyerezi, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Phase II process update. NILU OR

Randall, S.; Sivertsen, B.

This assessment of emissions from a planned power plant improvement project in Kinyerezi (Tanzania) is a follow-up to the Phase I assessment conducted by NILU in 2012 of the 150 MW dual-fuel plant. This Phase II assessment focuses solely on natural gas driven power plant with a total of 8 generators for a total of 345 MW. Concentration distributions from the planned power plant were generated using TAPM (The Air Pollution Model), using 2009 as the study period to remain consistent with the Phase I assessment. Annual CO2 emissions are estimated at 1.5 million tonnes/year, this is .2% of the total emissions for the entire country of Tanzania. NOx is the pollutant being emitted from the plant with the greatest impact at the local level, with maximum (1-hour) concentrations found in surrounding communities ranging from 10.7 - 33.2 µg/m3. The average annual concentration in these communities, and across the grid is low (highest being 1.4 µg/m3). The planned power plant at Kinyerezi does not alone exceed any local ambient air quality limit values or WHO guidelines.
