HERIe was used to model the effect of changes to indoor climate on the risk of humidity-induced mechanical damage (cracking and plastic deformation) to wooden panels painted with stiff gesso in two Norwegian medieval stone churches: Kinn (mean relative humidity (RH, %) = 79%) on the humid west coast, and Ringsaker (mean RH = 49%) in the drier eastern part of the country. The risk involved in moving cultural heritage objects (paint on wood) between the churches and a conservation studio with more “ideal”, stable conditions was also modeled. A hypothetical reduction in RH to ~65% and, proportionally, of the climate fluctuations in Kinn, and an increase in the RH in Ringsaker to a more stable value of ~63% via conservation heating, were found to improve (Kinn) and uphold (Ringsaker) the conformity to relevant standards and significantly reduce the risk of damage, except in the scenario of moving objects from Ringsaker to a conservation studio, when the risk would increase. The use of conservation heating could save ~50% of the heating cost. The estimated risk reductions may be less relevant for objects kept in situ, where cracks in the original paint and gesso have developed historically. They may be more relevant when moving original objects away from their proofed climate into a conservation studio for treatment.

PAH measurements in air and moss around selected industrial sites in Norway 2015. NILU report
On request from the Norwegian Environment Agency a pilot study of atmospheric deposition of PAH around industrial enterprises in Norway has been carried out. The participation was voluntary and 10 industries located at 10 different sites financed their own participation. The survey is based on analysis of samples of naturally growing moss collected around the enterprises during the summer of 2015. In addition, passive air samplers for collection of volatile PAH were placed around 6 of the participating enterprises. Generally, the PAH level determined in moss collected around industrial sites were considerably higher than the PAH level found in moss collected at background sites. The levels of PAHs found in the air samples was low and often at the same level as found at the closest background site, for all out of two sites, i.e. Sunndal and Kristiansand. There is no clear indication that the industry is the only source to the levels of PAHs in moss. Hence, results from this pilot study, illustrates that moss and air samples together provide a more comprehensive information regarding the spatial distribution of PAH around the industrial sites.

PAH measurements at Lista. January 2020 – December 2020.
On behalf of Aluminiumindustriens Miljøsekretariat (AMS) and Alcoa Lista, NILU – Norwegian institute for air research has
conducted a sampling campaign in the surroundings of the Alcoa Lista aluminium smelter in order to update the knowledge on PAH-concentrations around the smelter today. Samples were taken in the period January – December 2020 and
analysed for particle bound PAHs. As a consequence of reduced emissions compared to earlier measurements, the ambient
concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) were reduced. BaP had an annual average concentration below the target value at
both sampling sites. At Huseby, the lower assessment threshold was exceeded. PAH-levels in the area were similar to those observed in Norwegian cities.
