The Bangladesh Air Pollution Management (BAPMAN) project is an institutional-capacity building program where NILU lends the necessary Air Quality Management (AQM) tools and associated training to the Clean Air and Sustainable Environment (CASE) program at the Bangladesh Department of Environment (DoE). The last training seminar of the project was entitled "Advanced Air Quality Management and Health Impacts" and occurred at NILU from 25- 29 November 2013 as a part of the BAPMAN project. The seminar included three workshops: 1. Emissions - Improved competence with emissions inventories through completion of the emissions/dispersion exercise for brick kilns in Dhaka and write report based on findings; finalized top-down emissions report at national level for Bangladesh. 2. Monitoring Data - Advanced understanding of QC of monitoring data through preparation of monthly and annual reports for the data. 3. Health Impacts - Improved capacity in health impact assessment through completion of health impact exercise of PM exposure in Dhaka city and write report based on findings.

Multimedia models and observations in concert. A powerful tool to understand and manage organic contaminants. NILU OR

Krogseth, I.S.; Breivik, K.

This report summarizes results from a project funded by the Research Council of Norway (196191/S30). The overall goal was to better understand and predict relationships between emissions of organic chemicals of emerging concern and their levels in the environment and food-chains of the Nordic region through integrated monitoring and modeling studies. Four case studies were selected (i) cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMSs) in the Inner Oslofjord, (ii) cVMSs in the Norwegian Arctic (iii) short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) in the Nordic environment and (iv) risk-based model screening of chemicals in commerce in the Nordic countries. We also provide a brief introduction to the key multimedia modelling tools which were used. It is our hope that these tools, targeting the behaviour of contaminants under relevant environmental and climatic conditions, may assist Nordic environmental authorities interested in understanding and managing organic contaminants.

Measurement data July 2012 - June 2013. Environmental monitoring of emissions to air from Snøhvit-Hammerfest LNG. NILU OR

Hak, C.

Statoil assigned NILU ¿ Norwegian Institute for Air Research to carry out a programme on "Environmental monitoring of emissions to air from the Snøhvit LNG facility". The project started on 1 February 2006. This report summarises the results of the measurement programme from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013. It involves the measurement of meteorological parameters on Melkøya and Fuglenesodden. Air quality parameters were measured at Fuglenesodden. Precipitation samples taken at Forsøl and Kargeneset were analysed for PAHs, inorganic ions, heavy metals and mercury. The current air quality standards are met for all compounds.
