Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2014. NILU OR
On an assignment from the Norwegian Environmental Agency, the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) in collaboration with the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) collected and analysed biological samples from terrestrial and urban regions for various inorganic and organic contaminants. The purpose of this report is to provide an updated assessment of pollution present within an urban environment in Norway, compared with that of more rural sites. The selected species were sparrowhawk and fieldfare (eggs), red fox (liver) and earthworms. Of all the organisms and tissues measured in the study, sparrowhawk eggs had the highest average concentration of the sum of all organic pollutants measured, followed by fieldfare, earthworm and red fox on a wet weight basis. Higher concentrations in the urban site, Oslo, compared to the rural site were observed for sparrowhawk and earthworms.

Impact of short-term measure on NO2-concentrations during high pollution episodes. NILU OR
NILU and Urbanet Analyse AS has been commissioned by The Norwegian Public Roads Administration to study the impact of short-term measures to decrease the NO2 concentrations during days with high air pollution.

Methods for estimating air pollutant emissions. PART 1: Review and source of input data. NILU OR
This report is part of the development of a National Modelling System for local air quality (the "Nasjonalt Beregningsverktøy" or NBV project). The work focussed on the methods to estimate emissions and identified the main information sources of the needed input data for emissions. This report presents the most common methods to determine emissions and includes recommendations for future improvement of the emission calculations. The main purpose of the report is to identify the most relevant sources of emission information and the emission input data requirements necessary for modelling air quality in Norwegian cities and agglomerations.

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.
