The report presents the results from the model simulations, performed with the air quality modelling system AirQUIS for the Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone (KPIZ). The report presents the air quality model simulation based on the existing emission and predicted emission scenarios for the KPIZ. The model simulations are also carried out for baseline scenarios in 2010 and future scenarios in 2020 and 2030.

Alternative approaches to standard toxicity testing. TQP ID 9-OPTION-257430181-NILU. NILU OR
An amine based CO2 capture plant may cause harmful emissions to the atmosphere. Amines and degradation products from reactions in the process and in the atmosphere are of particular concern, but there is limited knowledge about the behaviour and potential effects of these chemical compounds. The substances produced can pose a risk to the environment and human health. This report is an option for the TQP ID 9 - 257430120 - NILU report (or 14/2011) and includes a review on nitrosated and nitrated amino acids with detail physicochemical data and (eco)toxicological endpoints for these substances. Furthermore evaluation of toxicological concepts and parameters related to risk assessment of these compounds, such as mutagenic potency, DNEL/DMEL and TD50/T25, has been provided. An evaluation of the use of a new developed QSAR model to predict TD50 of an extended list of nitrosamines was performed. In addition a current knowledge status on the use of (Q)SAR within REACH have been carried out.

On behalf of the Norwegian Ferroalloy Producers Research Association (FFF) NILU has assessed possible airborne emissions of HCB, PCB, and PCDD/F from Norwegian silicon and ferrosilicon production.
The report concludes with that the Norwegian silicon and ferrosilicon melting process does most certainly not lead to a 'de novo' formation of organochlorines. The report summaries all performed emission measurements. It states that, even in worst case, the annual contribution from Norwegian silicon and ferrosilicon production does not exceed one percent of the total annual load. Thus the contribution is regarded as negligible.

Analysis and review of air quality standards: Deliverable report 2.4. NILU OR
This report provides an overview of international and national air quality standards and guidelines from different environmental agencies, such as the European Union (EU), US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), World Health Organization (WHO), United Arab Emirates (UAE) and some other selected countries.

A strategy for how Norwegian applied organizations should prepare for the upcoming EarthCARE and Sentinel 5 precursor satellite missions is discussed, and long- and short-term plans are provided. The satellites and their potential products are discussed in terms of possible applications by NILU and met.no and data are considered for operational use in (a) reporting of climate gases, aerosols, ozone and UV to Klif, (b) EMEP reporting on aerosol and acidification/eutrophication, (c) chemical weather forecasting, (d) numerical weather forecasting and (e) research on Cloud-Aerosol-Radiation interaction.
