VOC measurements by PTR-ToF-MS at the Birkenes Observatory. A summary report. NILU OR
A high resolution proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometer (PTR-ToF- MS) was used for on-line and real-time measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the Birkenes Observatory in Southern Norway. Measurements were carried out during late spring and summer 2012 and in January and early February 2013. Here we present the obtained PTR-MS standard data product which includes volume mixing ratios of methanol, acetonitrile, acetaldehyde, acetone, dimethyl sulphide, isoprene, methacrolein plus methylvinylketone, methylethylketone, benzene, toluene, C8-alkylbenzenes, C9-alkylbenzenes and the sum of the monoterpene isomers. Exploratory data of formic acid, acetic acid, pinonaldehyde and three unidentified signals (m/z 87.080, m/z 89.060 and m/z 101.098) are also shown. PTR-ToF-MS mass spectra were dominated by oxygenated VOCs both in summer and in winter. Pure hydrocarbons were mostly aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, C8-alkylbenzenes) in winter and biogenic hydrocarbons (monoterpenes and isoprene) in summer. The summertime data confirm that the Birkenes Observatory is an interesting site in the boreo-nemoral vegetation zone where it is possible to observe both monoterpene and isoprene emissions and their photochemical processing in the atmosphere.

The report describes future emission factors under different scenarios.This report is the final version of GMOS Deliverable D 2.4 Report on mapping of Hg emissions and its chemical forms for 2030. It presents the emission maps of the Current Policy (CP), New Policy (NP) and Maximum Feasible Reduction (MFR) global mercury emission scenarios for 2035.

Emissions from domestic heating due to woodburning are one of the main emissions sources of PM in Norway. However there are uncertianties in the emission data and especially how much these emissions contribute to the concentrations. Dispersion modeling has been performed for Oslo with different emission scenarios to test some of the parameters related to this emission source. The model results show that the wood burning contribution is overestimated, especially in the evening and conclusions are that the emissions of wood burning are wrong both in quantity as well as spacial distribution in time variation.

The effect of selected amines on the corrosion of carbon steel and copper was investigated in the laboratory and in the field. The steel and copper samples were exposed to loads of the amines in the laboratory, representing possible 10 years maximum real exposure due to emission from a CO2 capturing plant, and to higher doses in the laboratory and in the field. No effect on the corrosion rate for steel was detected for the application of a possible 10 years real maximum dose of the amines in the laboratory as compared to blanks. Application of 700 times higher doses of amines in the laboratory was observed to give anodic protection, and thus reduced corrosion, of steel samples, but to dissolve the surface of a copper sample. The anodic protection was due to the formation of an amine surface film that protected the sample form oxidation. The dissolution of copper was probably due to formation of a copper-amine complex at high pH. A slight increase in corrosion was observed for samples that were exposed to the equivalent of possible 65 years maximum real exposure of amines in the field. This may be explained by freezing point depression and increased time of wetness of the sample surfaces due to accumulation of the amine solute on the sample surfaces in the season with frost.
