Atmospheric Degradation of Amines (ADA). Amines in aerosol - A review. CLIMIT project no. 201604. NILU OR

Karl, M.

This report presents a comprehensive review of current literature on the abundance of amines in atmospheric aerosols. The review spans over the whole life cycle of aerosols, showing the relevance of amine-related aerosol dynamic processes in each stage of the cycle. Amine compounds can constitute a siginificant fraction of submicron ambient aerosols, in particular in urban air and close to agricultural sources. It is evident from both field experiments and computational studies that amines have the propensity to contribute to new particle formation. Particulate phase oxidation of amines leads to the formation of potentially toxic products such as imines and nitrosamines. In general, there is a lack of information about the acute and chronic toxic effects of particulate amides and imines, and also the chemical mechanisms leading to their formation in aerosol particles are currently not fully understood.

Reporting air quality in Dakar, Senegal. NILU OR

Sivertsen, B.

The Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) has developed the air quality monitoring and management programme for Dakar, Senegal. Part of this project involves the development of templates for reporting of the air quality based on measurements of air pollution and meteorology. This example of reporting procedures is strictly limited to the reporting of measurement results. Templates are presented for:
¿ Daily and weekly reports
¿ Monthly data reports
¿ Quarterly assessment reports
¿ Annual ¿State of the environment¿ report.
The templates indicate typical content with different examples of presentations, air quality statistics and figures and tables prepared in order to assess the air quality in Dakar. Similar procedures are being used by different authorities worldwide.
