WP 1.2 Operationalization of satellite-based volcanic ash measurements. NILU OR

Kylling, A.; Sollum, E.; Eckhardt, P.

Data from the SEVIRI instrument is available at NILU through EUMETCast. These data are processed at NILU to retrieve volcanic ash loading in a satellite pixel. The report describes operationalization and automatization of the data processing algorithms at NILU including how the data are made available for the Norwegian Meterological Institute.

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.

Winter Tracking Data Suggest that Migratory Seabirds Transport Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances to Their Arctic Nesting Site

Seabirds are often considered sentinel species of marine ecosystems, and their blood and eggs utilized to monitor local environmental contaminations. Most seabirds breeding in the Arctic are migratory and thus are exposed to geographically distinct sources of contamination throughout the year, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Despite the abundance and high toxicity of PFAS, little is known about whether blood concentrations at breeding sites reliably reflect local contamination or exposure in distant wintering areas. We tested this by combining movement tracking data and PFAS analysis (nine compounds) from the blood of prelaying black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) nesting in Arctic Norway (Svalbard). PFAS burden before egg laying varied with the latitude of the wintering area and was negatively associated with time upon return of individuals at the Arctic nesting site. Kittiwakes (n = 64) wintering farther south carried lighter burdens of shorter-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs, C9–C12) and heavier burdens of longer chain PFCAs (C13–C14) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid compared to those wintering farther north. Thus, blood concentrations prior to egg laying still reflected the uptake during the previous wintering stage, suggesting that migratory seabirds can act as biovectors of PFAS to Arctic nesting sites.
