Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation. Annual report 2012. NILU OR
Rapporten presenterer måledata for totalozon og UV-stråling over norske målestasjoner i 2012. For Oslo, Andøya og Ny-Ålesund er trenden i totalozon beregnet for perioden 1979-2012. Ozonverdiene over Norge var tilnærmet normale 2012, bortsett fra vinterverdiene i Oslo som var lavere enn normalt. Den klare reduksjonen av ozonlaget over Norge i perioden 1979-1997 stoppet opp i 1998 og ozonlaget over Norge ser nå ut til å ha stabilisert seg.

Chemical speciation of fine airborne particles in Abu Dhabi. NILU OR
PM2.5 was sampled at two urban background sites in Abu Dhabi (Khalifa in the city of Abu Dhabi and Bida Zayed) and analysed chemically for further source identification and quantification. Understanding of source contributions to PM2.5 is a prerequisite for the formulation of effective control strategies for PM2.5 emissions.
For both sites, five source factors were identified. Long-range transported aerosol is the largest contributor (~41%) to average PM2.5 mass concentrations at both sites. It gradually forms from SO2, which is possibly emitted into ambient in the Arabian Gulf area, while it is transported to the sites. Mineral dust was found to be the second most important source, contributing ~25% at both sites. It represents an ubiquitous natural contribution of mainly regional origin to particulate matter in Abu Dhabi.
Other source contributions to particle concentrations found at Khalifa identified were: local traffic (15.1%), shipping/industry (10.5%) and sea salt (4.0%). The latter is a natural contribution.
At Bida Zayed, a mixed traffic/industry factor (13.2%) was found, as well as another two factors of natural origin, explaining 11.4% and 8.7%

Review of ambient air quality monitoring programme in Poland. NILU OR
The Norwegian Institute for Air Research - NILU and the Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection - GIO¿ are implementing the project : 'Strengthening the air quality assessment system in Poland, based on Norwegian experience' as part of the programme ¿Improving Environmental Monitoring and Inspection¿ within the framework of the European Economic Area 2009-2014.
A part of this project is to review the existing ambient air quality monitoring programme in operation in Poland based upon the report prepared by GIOS: ¿Information on monitoring equipment used in Voivodeship networks within the National Environmental Monitoring and supplementary data providing grounds for network equipment analyses¿.
The NILU assessment confirms the needs described by GIOS to carry out an intensive monitoring of air quality, especially as regards PM10, PM2.5, benzo(a)pyrene and ozone. NILU advices GIOS to include the modelling results when evaluating the needs for expanding the network for ozone.NILU recommends to evaluate the needs for further stations in relation to securing the data capture rate as requested by the EU Directive.
In general, NILU advices GIOS towards having a more robust network that meets the Directive requirements regarding data coverage and ensures enough information for the WIOSs to do assessment and planning.

Air quality zone delimitation in Norway. Evaluation and delimitation proposal. NILU OR
Luftkvaliteten i Norge i de siste fem årene er blitt vurdert for danne grunnlag for en ny soneinndeling for rapportering til EU-kommisjonen om overholdelse av luftkvalitetsdirektiver. Luftforurensningsnivåer (PM10, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, benzen, tungmetaller, B(a)P) ble vurdert med hensyn til overskridelser av grenseverdier, nasjonale mål og øvre/nedre vurderingsterskler (UAT / LAT) definert for beskyttelse av menneskers helse, vegetasjon og / eller naturlige økosystemer. Resultatene av luftkvalitesvurderingen, supplert med informasjon om bakgrunnskonsentrasjon i Norge, er blitt brukt til å definere en ny soneinndeling; 1) soneinndeling for PM10, NO2, NOx, benzen og B(a)P, 2) soneinndeling for SO2 og tungmetaller, 3) soneinndeling for ozon og 4) soneinndeling for CO.

Greenhouse gas inventory for Abu Dhabi Emirate. Technical basis & results of the first inventory. NILU OR
The first GHG inventory for Abu Dhabi Emirate was conducted for all activity sectors (energy, industrial processes, agriculture, land use change and forestry, and waste) using the sectoral (bottom-up) approach. The input data was collected in collaboration with the relevant local authorities. Estimation of GHG emissions was conducted applying the methodology of the IPCC (Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines and the Good Practice Guidance) and using the UNFCCC inventory software. A key category analysis was also performed for the GHG emissions; the key sources of emissions responsible for 95% of the total GHG emissions were identified. Three emission indicators were developed for Abu Dhabi Emirate using the standards of IEA: the per capita emissions, per GDP and per kWh electricity produced. Very few data was available on the local emission factors. For missing data, assumptions were made to undertake calculations of emissions; the factors used in the previous UAE national inventories and/ or the commonly accepted emissions factors from IPCC and other standard guidelines were used. Focus was given to the key category sectors; energy (specifically fuel combustion emissions) and industrial processes (specifically metal and mineral). Land use change and forestry sector was also in concern as a sink for CO2 removals. Contributions of agriculture and waste sectors were as expected small. In addition, among various greenhouse gases, priorities were given to direct greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, N2O and PFCs, and to a lesser degree to indirect gases CO, NOX, SO2 and NMVOC.

Environmental Management Report 2012. NILU OR
One of NILU's main goals is to study the impact of pollution. It is thus very important for the institute to have control of the impact the institute's own activities may have on the environment and to reduce the impact as far as possible.
NILU has for many years been working to reduce the impact. In order to take this one step further, it was decided that the institute should restructure the work according to a relevant environmental standard and to seek certification according to the same standard.
The chosen standard is ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use) and NILU achieved certification according to this standard in October 2010. This report summarizes the results of the system.
