Målinger av SO2 i omgivelsene til Elkem Carbon og REC Solar. Januar 2020 – desember 2020.
On behalf of Elkem Carbon AS, NILU has carried out measurements of SO2 in the surroundings of Elkem Carbon and REC Solar in Vågsbygd (Kristiansand municipality). The companies were ordered by the Norwegian Environment Agency to carry out SO2-measurements in ambient air. The measurements were performed with an SO2-monitor in the residential area at
Fiskåtangen (Konsul Wilds vei) and with passive SO2-samplers at 6 locations around the industries. The report covers
measurements in the period 1 January 2020 – 31 December 2020.
Norwegian limit values for air quality (SO2) were complied with at Konsul Wilds vei for all averaging periods required by the air quality directive (annual average, winter average, daily average and hourly average). The most polluted locations during the measurement period were Konsul Wilds vei and Fiskåveien just south of the industries.

Målinger av PM10 i Lohavn. April og mai 2020.
On behalf of Hav Eiendom, NILU – Norwegian Institute for Air Research carried out measurements of particulate matter (PM10) in Lohavn in Oslo. The area will be developed into a new urban area with residential buildings, school, outdoor areas and businesses. The PM-concentration was measured at three locations in Lohavn to map the PM-distribution and possible sources. The measurement project took place in spring 2020. Possible effects of Covid-shutdown, variations in amount of traffic in the area and meteorological variations on the PM concentration are discussed.
The measurement results show a lower PM-concentration than in the measurement period 2016/17. The reason was probably the disappearance of temporary sources which led to periodically high concentrations in 2016/17. The highest PM10-concentrations were observed with winds from the south-southwest (which dominates during the day).

The report holds a comprehensive literature review on the non-exhaust PM emission from transport. All types of wear particles are considered (brake, tyre, road surface) and all modes (road, rail, aviation), with strong emphasis on road. The report serves as an input to review current emission inventories, summarizing the current emission estimates, the estimation methodologies, uncertainties and future trends, briefly zooming in on the relevance of electric vehicles. The report considers both air quality as well as the relevance of non-exhaust emission as a source of microplastics. To conclude, the report includes a brief overview of technological and policy options to reduce the environmental impact.

The report provides the annual update of the European air quality concentration maps and population exposure estimates for human health related indicators of pollutants PM10 (annual average, 90.4 percentile of daily means), PM2.5 (annual average), ozone (93.2 percentile of maximum daily 8-hour means, SOMO35, SOMO10) and NO2 (annual average), and vegetation related ozone indicators (AOT40 for vegetation and for forests) for the year 2018. The report contains also Phytotoxic ozone dose (POD) for wheat and potato maps and NOx annual average maps for 2018. The POD maps are presented for the first time in this regular mapping report. The trends in exposure estimates in the period 2005-2018 are summarized. The analysis is based on interpolation of annual statistics of the 2018 observational data reported by the EEA member and cooperating countries and other voluntary reporting countries and stored in the Air Quality e-reporting database. The mapping method is the Regression – Interpolation – Merging Mapping. It combines monitoring data, chemical transport model results and other supplementary data using linear regression model followed by kriging of its residuals (residual kriging). The paper presents the mapping results and gives an uncertainty analysis of the interpolated maps.

Rapporten presenterer en oversikt over dataassimilasjonsmetoder som kan anvendes for luftkvalitetsmodellering. Innledningsvis beskrives kort historisk bakgrunn for bruk av dataassimilasjon i numerisk værvarsling, der vi legger vekt på forskjellene mellom anvendelse av assimilasjon i meteorologiske varslingsmodeller og i spredningsmodeller for luftkvalitet. Basert på disse forskjellene beskrives så ønskede egenskaper til assimilasjonsmetoder for luftkvalitetsmodellering. Deretter gis en oversikt over tilgjengelige assimilasjonsmetoder, der vi søker å identifisere de mest aktuelle for vårt bruk som grunnlag for videre anvendelser i prosjektet.

Method for high resolution emission estimations from construction sites. Phase I: Mapping input data
Denne rapporten presenterer resultatene fra analyse av tilgjengelige inngangsdata for å utvikle en modell for estimering av luftforurensende stoffer og klimagassutslipp basert på en «bottom-up»-tilnærming, inkludert både eksos- og ikke-eksosutslipp. Tilgjengeligheten av pålitelige inngangsdata er den begrensende faktoren og den mest kritiske delen av utformingen av en slik «bottom-up»-tilnærming. I denne studien har vi fokusert på å vurdere inngangsdata som gjør det mulig å definere; i) den nøyaktige plasseringen og området som påvirkes under bygging og konstruksjon, ii) start- og sluttdatoer; iii) typen byggeaktivitet; iv) aktiviteter med ikke-veigående mobile maskiner (NRMM) innen bygg og anlegg; v) veier i nærheten av byggeplasser.

Microplastic (MP) is of growing concern to environmentaland humanhealth. Thisstudy investigated three analytical approachesto measure MPin tissues of salmonids. The studyaimed to 1) determine and demonstrate the sensitivity of current analytical methods for MP in salmon tissues for the three different quantitative methods, 2) compare the utility of the different methods in terms of cost, time and sensitivity 3) quantify MP in a relevant selection of tissues of farmedand wildsalmon in order to establish likely indicator organs for future documentation purposes. We here present the results, compare themethodsand discuss uncertainties and needs for further method development.

Ren luft for alle. ExtraStiftelsen project 2019/HE1-263918.
In 2019, in the framework of Oslo being European Green Capital, NILU invited students from elementary schools to
measure air pollution in their neighbourhood, using simple and affordable measuring methods based on paper and
Vaseline. The students prepared the measuring devices and selected the places where they wanted to monitor. After one
week, they retrieved the devices and used a scale to compare the amount of dust fastened to the Vaseline. All of the data
gathered by the students was uploaded by the teachers to a website (https://luftaforalle.nilu.no/), where a map showed all the results from the participating schools. The school campaign has helped researchers to get data on particulate matter from many places where data was not available, and has increased awareness among the children about the sustainability challenges cities are facing.

On behalf of Elkem Carbon AS, NILU has carried out measurements of arsenic (As) in the surroundings of Elkem Carbon in Vågsbygd (Kristiansand municipality). The company was ordered by the Norwegian Environment Agency to carry out As-measurements in ambient air. PM10 samples taken with a filter sampler in the residential area on Fiskåtangen (Konsul Wilds vei) were analysed for As by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). This report covers measurements in the period 25 September 2019 – 28 September 2020. The annual average concentration of As was measured at 2.38 ng/m3. The target value in the air quality directive of 6 ng/m3 was complied with by a good margin. The annual average value was marginally lower than the lower assessment threshold of 2.4 ng/m3. A long range transported contribution to the two highest registered daily As-concentrations cannot be ruled out.

Environmental Contaminants in an Urban Fjord, 2019
This programme, “Environmental Contaminants in an Urban Fjord” has covered sampling and analyses of sediment and organisms in a marine food web of the Inner Oslofjord, in addition to samples of blood and eggs from herring gull. The programme also included inputs of pollutants via surface water (storm water), and effluent water and sludge from a sewage treatment plant. The bioaccumulation potential of the contaminants in the Oslo fjord food web was evaluated. The exposure to/accumulation of the contaminants was also assessed in birds. A vast number of chemical parameters have been quantified, in addition to some biological effect parameters in cod, and the report serves as a status description of the concentrations of these chemicals in different compartments of the Inner Oslofjord marine ecosystem.
