Air Quality Impact Assessment, Kinyerezi, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Phase II process update. NILU OR
This assessment of emissions from a planned power plant improvement project in Kinyerezi (Tanzania) is a follow-up to the Phase I assessment conducted by NILU in 2012 of the 150 MW dual-fuel plant. This Phase II assessment focuses solely on natural gas driven power plant with a total of 8 generators for a total of 345 MW. Concentration distributions from the planned power plant were generated using TAPM (The Air Pollution Model), using 2009 as the study period to remain consistent with the Phase I assessment. Annual CO2 emissions are estimated at 1.5 million tonnes/year, this is .2% of the total emissions for the entire country of Tanzania. NOx is the pollutant being emitted from the plant with the greatest impact at the local level, with maximum (1-hour) concentrations found in surrounding communities ranging from 10.7 - 33.2 µg/m3. The average annual concentration in these communities, and across the grid is low (highest being 1.4 µg/m3). The planned power plant at Kinyerezi does not alone exceed any local ambient air quality limit values or WHO guidelines.

Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation. Annual report 2013. 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 2013. In 2013 the ozone values above Norway were close to the long-term mean at all sites. A clear decrease in the ozone layer above Norway during the period 1979-1997 stopped after 1998 and the ozone layer above Norway now seems to have stabilized.

This report presents the ICP Materials database for the period October 2011-December 2012. It includes environmental data from the ICP Materials trend exposure programme for 2011 - 2012. The database consists of meteorological data (T and RH), and pollution data as gas concentrations, amounts of ions in precipitation, particle concentration and amount of particle deposition.

Dispersion calculations for emissions from power production at Suderø. NILU OR
Impact from emissions of NO2 from power production at Suderø has been calculated. The maximum ground level hourly concentration contribution is 141 µg/m3, and maximum yearly averageimpact is 3 µg/m3. The values are lower than the limit values for the EU/EØS area, but are higher than the Danish B-value limit for single enterprise contribution.

This report presents the results from the questionnaires based survey in Wuhan. Within 1086 valid questionnaires collected from the public, the results showed that most participants: 1) are young students with bachelor degree; 2) have basic knowledge about air pollution issues in Wuhan; 3) expressed their willingness to learn more AQ-related knowledge; 4) suggested to strength environmental awareness raising activities in Wuhan; and 5) strongly appeal to the local government to implement actions to improve the air quality.

The MEMORI project (Grant agreement 265132) was performed in the period 2010-2013. The project was coordinated by NILU-Norwegian Institute for Air Research, and included 14 partners, four subcontractors and an advisory end-user group with 8 members. MEMORI aimed at providing the conservation market with innovative, non-destructive, and early warning technology for easy assessment of environmental impact on indoor cultural heritage. For this purpose, a dosimeter and a portable reader instument were produced. In addition, a new web-based result's and presentation mitigation tool was developed.

Environmental Management Report 2013. NILU OR
One of NILU's main goals is to study the impact of pollution. It is thus very important for the institute to have control of the impact the institute¿s own activities may have on the environment and to reduce the impact as far as possible.
NILU has for many years been working to reduce the impact. 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.

Monitoring of greenhouse gases and aerosols at Svalbard and Birkenes in 2012 - Annual report. NILU OR
The report summaries the activities and results of the greenhouse gas monitoring at the Zeppelin and observatory situated on Svalbard in Arctic Norway during the period 2001-2012 and the greenhouse gas monitoring and aerosol observations from Birkenes for 2012.
The monitoring programme is performed by the NILU - Norwegian Institute for Air Research and funded by the Norwegian Environment Agency and NILU - Norwegian Institute for Air Research.
