Reassessing the role of urban green space in air pollution control
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The assumption that vegetation improves air quality is prevalent in scientific, popular, and political discourse. However, experimental and modeling studies show the effect of green space on air pollutant concentrations ... -
Analysis of nitro- and oxy-PAH emissions from a pilot scale silicon process with flue gas recirculation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Silicon alloys are produced by carbothermic reduction of quartz in a submerged arc furnace. This high-temperature pyrolytic process is a source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are a group of aromatic ... -
Effect of demand-controlled ventilation strategies on indoor air pollutants in a classroom: A Norwegian case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The choice of the minimum ventilation rate (Vmin) in a demand-controlled ventilation strategy can influence energy demand but also introduce outdoor air pollutants. The latter may have direct health effects, as well as ... -
Chlorinated paraffins and dechloranes in free-range chicken eggs and soil around waste disposal sites in Tanzania
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Electronic waste is a source of both legacy and emerging flame retardants to the environment, especially in regions where sufficient waste handling systems are lacking. In the present study, we quantified the occurrence ... -
Circular economy for aquatic food systems: insights from a multiscale phosphorus flow analysis in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As wild-caught fish become scarce, feed ingredients for farming fish, such as salmon, are increasingly sourced from agricultural plants that depend on mineral fertilizers. Since these fish are naturally carnivorous, they ... -
Query-driven Qualitative Constraint Acquisition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024) -
Impact of Aerosol Optical Properties, Precipitable Water, and Solar Geometry on Sky Radiances Using Radiative Transfer Modeling
(Journal article, 2023)Radiative transfer modeling is used to investigate the effect of aerosol optical properties and water vapor on cloud-free sky radiances at various atmospheric conditions. Simulations are generated by changing the most ... -
Decreasing trends of ammonia emissions over Europe seen from remote sensing and inverse modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ammonia (NH3), a significant precursor of particulate matter, affects not only biodiversity, ecosystems, and soil acidification but also climate and human health. In addition, its concentrations are constantly rising due ... -
Plastics as a carrier of chemical additives to the Arctic: Possibilities for strategic monitoring across the circumpolar North
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Plastic pollution (including microplastics) has been reported in a variety of biotic and abiotic compartments across the circumpolar Arctic. Due to their environmental ubiquity, there is a need to understand not only the ... -
The consolidated European synthesis of CO2 emissions and removals for the European Union and United Kingdom: 1990–2020
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Knowledge of the spatial distribution of the fluxes of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and their temporal variability as well as flux attribution to natural and anthropogenic processes is essential to monitoring the progress in ... -
Aerosol and dynamical contributions to cloud droplet formation in Arctic low-level clouds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The Arctic is one of the most rapidly warming regions of the globe. Low-level clouds and fog modify the energy transfer from and to space and play a key role in the observed strong Arctic surface warming, a phenomenon ... -
Enhanced electrochemical activity of boron-doped nanocarbon functionalized reticulated vitreous carbon structures for water treatment applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)An extraordinary charge transfer kinetics and chemical stability make a boron-doped diamond (BDD) a promising material for electrochemical applications including wastewater treatment. Yet, with flat geometrical surfaces ... -
The role of SVOCs in the initial film formation and soiling of unvarnished paintings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In recent years increased research efforts and environmental improvements have been directed towards the preventive conservation of the monumental, unvarnished oil paintings on canvas (1909–1916) by Edvard Munch (1863–1944) ... -
A top-down estimation of subnational CO2 budget using a global high-resolution inverse model with data from regional surface networks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Top-down approaches, such as atmospheric inversions, are a promising tool for evaluating emission estimates based on activity-data. In particular, there is a need to examine carbon budgets at subnational scales (e.g. ... -
Method for retrieval of aerosol optical depth from multichannel irradiance measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We present, to the best of our knowledge, a new method for retrieval of aerosol optical depth from multichannel irradiance measurements. A radiative transfer model is used to simulate measurements to create the new aerosol ... -
Air pollution situation in small towns, including winter resorts: a comparative study of three cases in Northern Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In Europe, emissions of many air pollutants have decreased in recent decades, but there exist sites where concentrations of pollutants are still high and have become a public health problem. The air quality monitoring ... -
Review of Interpreting Gaseous Pollution Data Regarding Heritage Objects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Pollutant gases pose a significant risk to some cultural heritage objects, and surveys have shown that the professionals involved consider themselves to lack knowledge to fully assess risk. Three approaches towards risk ... -
Impacts of a warming climate on concentrations of organochlorines in a fasting high arctic marine bird: Direct vs. indirect effects?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The present study examined how climate changes may impact the concentrations of lipophilic organochlorines (OCs) in the blood of fasting High Arctic common eiders (Somateria mollissima) during incubation. Polychlorinated ... -
Leveraging opportunity of low carbon transition by super-emitter cities in China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Chinese cities are core in the national carbon mitigation and largely affect global decarbonisation initiatives, yet disparities between cities challenge country-wide progress. Low-carbon transition should preferably lead ...
