A Review of Airborne Particulate Matter Effects on Young Children’s Respiratory Symptoms and Diseases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Exposure to airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) carries substantial health risks, particularly for younger children (0–10 years). Epidemiological evidence indicates that children are more susceptible to PM health ... -
Aerosol Optical Properties and Type Retrieval via Machine Learning and an All-Sky Imager
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study investigates the applicability of using the sky information from an all-sky imager (ASI) to retrieve aerosol optical properties and type. Sky information from the ASI, in terms of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) channels ... -
Assessment of Low-Cost Particulate Matter Sensor Systems against Optical and Gravimetric Methods in a Field Co-Location in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The increased availability of commercially-available low-cost air quality sensors combined with increased interest in their use by citizen scientists, community groups, and professionals is resulting in rapid adoption, ... -
Atmospheric Ozone and Methane in a Changing Climate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
Brominated Flame Retardants in Antarctic Air in the Vicinity of Two All-Year Research Stations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Continuous atmospheric sampling was conducted between 2010–2015 at Casey station in Wilkes Land, Antarctica, and throughout 2013 at Troll Station in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Sample extracts were analyzed for ... -
Cleaning costs for European sheltered white painted steel and modern glass surfaces due to air pollution since the year 2000
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper reports estimated maintenance-cleaning costs, cost savings and cleaning interval increases for structural surfaces and windows in Europe obtainable by reducing the air pollution. Methodology and data from the ... -
Decoupling Emission Reductions and Trade-Offs of Policies in Norway Based on a Bottom-Up Traffic Emission Model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The way Norway is spearheading electrification in the transport sector is of global interest. In this study, we used the Norwegian Emissions from Road Vehicle Exhaust (NERVE) model, a bottom-up high-resolution traffic ... -
Deployment and Evaluation of a Network of Open Low-Cost Air Quality Sensor Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Low-cost air quality sensors have the potential to complement the regulatory network of air quality monitoring stations, with respect to increased spatial density of observations, however, their data quality continues to ... -
Estimation of Damage Cost to Building Façades per kilo Emission of Air Pollution in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This work reports marginal damage costs to façades due to air pollution exposure estimated “bottom up,” for Norway and Oslo (Norway) by the use of exposure response functions (ERFs) and impact pathway analysis from the ... -
Forecasting the Exceedances of PM2.5 in an Urban Area
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Particular matter (PM) constitutes one of the major air pollutants. Human exposure to fine PM (PM with a median diameter less than or equal to 2.5 μm, PM2.5) has many negative and diverse outcomes for human health, such ... -
Ice nucleating particle concentrations increase when leaves fall in autumn

Impacts of UV irradiance and medium-energy electron precipitation on the North Atlantic oscillation during the 11-year solar cycle
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Observational studies suggest that part of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) variability may be attributed to the spectral ultra-violet (UV) irradiance variations associated to the 11-year solar cycle. The observed ... -
Machine Learning-Based Retrieval of Total Ozone Column Amount and Cloud Optical Depth from Irradiance Measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)A machine learning algorithm combined with measurements obtained by a NILU-UV irradiance meter enables the determination of total ozone column (TOC) amount and cloud optical depth (COD). In the New York City area, a NILU-UV ... -
Optical and Microphysical Properties of the Aerosols during a Rare Event of Biomass-Burning Mixed with Polluted Dust
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)A rare event of mixed biomass-burning and polluted dust aerosols was observed over Athens, Greece (37.9° N, 23.6° E), during 21–26 May 2014. This event was studied using a synergy of a 6-wavelength elastic-Raman-depolarization ... -
Performance assessment of a low-cost PM2.5 Sensor for a near four-month period in Oslo, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The very low-cost Nova particulate matter (PM) sensor SDS011 has recently drawn attention for its use for measuring PM mass concentration, which is frequently used as an indicator of air quality. However, this sensor has ... -
Quantification of Element Mass Concentrations in Ambient Aerosols by Combination of Cascade Impactor Sampling and Mobile Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy
