Pollutant emissions from LNG fuelled ships. Assessment and recommendations. NILU OR
This report is part of the project "Developing the programme of measures for the Estonian marine area in compliance with the requirements of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive, including feasibility study on using LNG as an alternative ship fuel to reduce pollution". This report presents and assesses the available information regarding pollutant emission factors (NOx, particulate matter, organic compounds) for ships using Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) as fuel. This evaluation, based on a literature review, will support the selection of scenarios for using LNG along with the information from the feasibility study performed within the project.

Monitoring of environmental contaminants in air and precipitation, annual report 2014. NILU OR
This report presents results from 2014 for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals from the rural air- and precipitation chemistry monitoring network in Norway. These results are compared to previous years.

Monitoring of long-range transported air pollutants in Norway, annual report 2014. NILU OR
This report presents results from the monitoring of atmospheric composition and deposition of air
pollution in 2014 in the Norwegian rural background environment, and focuses on particulate and
gaseous phase of inorganic constituents, particulate carbonaceous matter, ground level ozone and
particulate matter.

Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation. Annual report 2014. NILU OR
This is an annual report describing the activities and main results of the monitoring programme
"Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation" for 2014. The ozone
layer was below the long-term mean in spring 2014, but increased in April/May and was close to
normal rest of the year. A clear decrease in total ozone above Norway during the period 1979-
1997 stopped after 1998 and the ozone layer above Norway now seems to have stabilized.

NILU's Strategic Institute Initiatives (SIS) 2014. NILU OR
Each of NILU's Strategic Institute Initiatives(SIS) is required to deliver a popular science report annually to the Research Council. This report contains all of NILU¿s annual SIS-reports for 2014.

NILU's Environmental Management Report 2014. NILU OR
One of NILU's main goals is to study the impact of pollution and supply decision-makers with a sound scientific platform for choosing measures to reduce the negative impacts. It is also very important for the institute to have control of the impact the institute¿s own activities may have on the environment and to reduce negative impacts as far as possible.
NILU has for many years been working to improve the status of the environment and to reduce negative impacts. In order to take this one step further, it was decided that the institute should restructure the work according to a relevant environmental standard and to seek certification according to the same standard.
The chosen standard is ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use) and NILU achieved certification according to this standard in October 2010. This report summarizes the results of the system.

NILU has on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency determined the concentration of ionic perfluorinated substances (PFASs), including PFOA, in outdoor gear.
Of the investigated 18 items, no PFAS could be detected at all in nine of them. Two samples contained PFOA exceeding the limit of 1 µg/m2. The quality assurance where three replicates of one sample were extracted had a relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 10% for all detected substances except one (PFTrDA). Other quality measures such as recovery calculations and blanks shows that the method used for extraction is suitable for these types of matrices and substances. PFOS was not present in the items investigated, indicating that the textile industry manages to effectively avoid PFOS in their production processes.
