The EmSite model for high resolution emissions from machinery in construction sites
The report describes the EmSite model developed to estimate exhaust and non-exhaust emissions from non-road mobile
machinery (NRMM) used in building and construction. The model is based on a complete national database of the exact
location of construction and building activity, machine registries and variables that affect emissions (ground conditions, meteorology, type of ground material). EmSite model allows us to determine, i) the location, area and time of construction projects at fine resolution; ii) energy demand for NRMM; and iii) fuel consumption, air pollutants and GHGs emissions. For exhaust emissions, specific dynamic emission factors for NRMMs were developed. For non-exhaust emissions, an approach based on the Tier 1 (EMEP/EEA Guidebook, 2019) was chosen. EmSite allows for bottom-up estimates for NRMM employed in construction, and the results are comparable with official air pollutant and GHGs emissions.

NILU and Hydro Aluminium performed a test campaign for measurements of CF4 and C2F6 for stack emissions at Husnes
Aluminium Smelter. Time-integrated samples were taken with evacuated canisters combined with low-flow restrictors for
continuous sampling periods as long as 6 weeks. The samples were analyzed at NILU with a Medusa preconcentration
method combined with GC-MS SIM. As a main conclusion, time integrated sampling together with Medusa GC-MS
methodology is a very precise alternative to the traditional attempts to quantify PFC-emission.

Rapporten gir en oversikt over Norges luftkvalitetsmålenettverk. Alle målestasjoner som rapporterer måledata til EEA/ESA er beskrevet og plasseringen er vurdert i forhold til krav i EUs direktiver.
Omgivelsene til stasjonene er beskrevet og viktige kilder til utslipp er identifisert. Plasseringen av målestasjonene er dokumentert med kart og flybilde og retningsvisende fotografier av området.
Avvik fra plasseringskriteriene er dokumentert. Anbefalinger for justeringer er gitt for enkelte stasjoner.

Environmental contaminants in freshwater food webs, 2021
This report presents monitoring data from freshwater food webs and abiotic samples from Lake Mjøsa and Femunden within the
Milfersk programme. Studies and monitoring of legacy and emerging contaminants have been carried out through this programme
for several years, focusing on the pelagic food web. This is the first report in the monitoring program focusing on a benthic food
chain (Chironomids, ruffe, roach and perch) in addition to inputs to Lake Mjøsa by analysis of lake sediments, surface waters,
stormwater, effluent and sludge from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The analytical programme includes the determination
of a total of ̴ 260 single components.

Utslipp og spredning av Radon-220 fra Oncoinvent, Nydalen. Underlag for utslippssøknad.
NILU har studert og vurdert utslipp til luft av radon-220 fra Oncoinvent AS i Nydalen i Oslo. Studien danner underlag for utslippssøknad. Årlig omsøkt utslipp er 70 GBq. Det største bidraget til dose/eksponering kommer fra thorondøtrene, ikke fra thoron selv. Lokale spredningsberegninger med CONCX viser at ved sterk østlig vind kan røykfanen slå ned på takterrassen på bygget hvor Oncoinvent AS har sine produksjonslokaler. Beregnet årlig dose/eksponering fra utslipp fra Oncoinvent for en person som oppholder seg 520 timer årlig på terrassen er 0,7 µSv. Beregninger med FLEXPART-wrf for et 38×20 km2 modellområde viser størst aktivitetskonsentrasjon mot nordøst og mot sørvest, det vil si nedstrøms i fremherskende vindretning. Største dose beregnes ved utslippspunktet (1 nSv time-1) og ved takterrassen.

The Screening Programme 2021 was carried out by the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) and NILU-Norwegian Institute for Air Research. The spotlight was placed on the occurrence and possible environmental problems of 218 chemicals. The selected substances may be included in numerous products and their usage patterns are not easily defined so an array of different locations and sample-types were investigated. The total number of results exceeds 26 000. Results are can be downloaded from the database Vannmiljø.

This report aims to support the on-going revision of the Ambient Air Quality Directives by providing a series of recommendations on the reciprocal exchange of information and reporting of ambient air quality (e-reporting) following the Commission Implementing Decision (2011/850/EU). It builds on the experience and understanding from the EEA and technical experts at its European Topic Centre for Human Health and the Environment (ETC HE) working with implementing provisions for reporting (IPR) and identifies areas for further efficiency gains in e-reporting, in particular concerning the H-K dataflows.

Monitoring of long-range transported air pollutants in Norway. Annual Report 2021.
This report presents results from the monitoring of atmospheric composition and deposition of air pollution in 2021, and focuses on main components in air and precipitation, particulate and gaseous phase of inorganic constituents, particulate carbonaceous matter, ground level ozone and particulate matter. The level of pollution in 2021 was generally low with few high episodes.
