Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2015. NILU report
We analysed biological samples from the terrestrial and urban environment for various inorganic and organic contaminants in the Oslo area. A foodchain approach was used, in order to detect bioaccumulation of the different compounds. The species analysed were earthworms, fieldfare, sparrowhawk, rats, tawny owl and red fox. Soil samples were also included in the study.

Air quality in Ny-Ålesund. Monitoring of local air quality 2014-2015. NILU report
The concentrations of the measured components are generally low and below national limit values for the protection of human health and critical levels for the protection of vegetation.
Wind from northern sectors gave the highest average concentrations of nitrogen oxides, which indicates the power station and the harbour as possible sources. From September 2014 to February 2015, volcanic eruptions at Iceland emitted large volumes of SO2, which gave episodes of elevated concentrations in Ny-Ålesund. The measurement results for CO2 show an annual variation with higher concentrations in the winter and lower in summer. Measured concentrations of CO were most likely caused by local snowmobile traffic and long-range transport of emissions from wildfires in North America.

CITI-SENSE. Final report on methodology. Deliverable 6.4, Work Package 6. NILU report
This document is a technical description of the CITI-SENSE main products described in the CITI-SENSE portfolio of products. These products were developed, extended or adjusted in the CITI-SENSE project to fulfil and maintain the overall chain «sensor-platform-products-user» with primary focus on the interface and link between the products and the end users.
Products are described from a developer¿s view and include information about the case studies and their requirements, technical description of architecture, code structures and database and storage platforms. Information about current status as of June 30 2016, with suggested improvements and lessons learned during the project process, are included for each product.

Air quality calculations for Oslo Airport. NILU rapport
Modelling of emission and dispersion shows that the largest emissions of NOX are caused by airplanes during take-off and final approach, but these emissions have little impact on ground level concentrations. The highest modelled concentration levels are located within the airport area, and are of similar size as concentrations modelled in central areas of Norwegian medium sized cities. The largest contribution comes from the aircrafts. The concentration of PM is largely decided by the background contribution. Occurrence of odour in the vicinity of the airport can be explained by the emission of hydrocarbons from aircraft in taxi-modes. Occurrence of darkening on house walls in vicinity of and further away from the airport has been investigated. It is mainly caused by growth of fungus. Investigation of possible impact from airport activity on fresh water bodies indicate that the glycol content in the use of de-icing of aircraft has the largest potential impact.
