(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of synthetic organic chemicals of global concern. A group of 36 scientists and regulators from 18 countries held a hybrid workshop in 2022 in Zürich, Switzerland. The ... -
Relative impacts of sea ice loss and atmospheric internal variability on winter Arctic to East Asian surface air temperature based on large-ensemble simulations with NorESM2
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)To quantify the relative contributions of Arctic sea ice and unforced atmospheric internal variability to the “warm Arctic, cold East Asia” (WACE) teleconnection, this study analyses three sets of large-ensemble simulations ... -
Life starts with plastic: High occurrence of plastic pieces in fledglings of northern fulmars
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Plastic pollution threatens many organisms around the world. In particular, the northern fulmar, Fulmarus glacialis, is known to ingest high quantities of plastics. Since data are sparse in the Eurasian Arctic, we investigated ... -

(NILU report;19/2024, Research report, 2024)This report presents results from the monitoring of atmospheric composition and deposition of air pollution in 2023, and focuses on main components in air and precipitation, particulate and gaseous phase of inorganic ... -
Stepping-up accurate quantification of chlorinated paraffins: Successful certification of the first matrix reference material
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are industrial chemicals categorised as persistent organic pollutants because of their toxicity, persistency and tendency to long-range transport, bioaccumulation and biomagnification. ... -
Målinger av SO2 i omgivelsene til Elkem Carbon. Januar 2023 – desember 2023.
(NILU rapport;13/2024, Research report, 2024)På oppdrag fra Elkem Carbon AS har NILU utført målinger av SO2 i omgivelsene til Elkem Carbon i Vågsbygd (Kristiansand kommune). Målingene ble utført med SO2-monitor i boligområdet på Fiskåtangen (Konsul Wilds vei). I ... -
Reviderte beregninger av luftkvalitet ved Bjørnheimveien 26
(NILU rapport;4/2024, Research report, 2024)NILU har blitt engasjert av Prem Partners II A/S for å vurdere utbredelse av luftsoner for dagens situasjon og en framtidig situasjon med foreslått boligblokk i Bjørnheimveien 26. Det er anvendt en Gaussisk spredningsmodell ... -
Towards seamless environmental prediction–development of Pan-Eurasian EXperiment (PEEX) modelling platform
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The Pan-Eurasian Experiment Modelling Platform (PEEX-MP) is one of the key blocks of the PEEX Research Programme. The PEEX MP has more than 30 models and is directed towards seamless environmental prediction. The main focus ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of isoprene emissions from the coupled model SURFEX–MEGANv2.1
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Isoprene, a key biogenic volatile organic compound, plays a pivotal role in atmospheric chemistry. Due to its high reactivity, this compound contributes significantly to the production of tropospheric ozone in polluted ... -
Contribution of fluorescent primary biological aerosol particles to low-level Arctic cloud residuals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) are key players in the Arctic climate system due to their role in modulating solar and terrestrial radiation. Such radiative interactions rely, among other factors, on the ice content of MPCs, ... -
Long-term meteorology-adjusted and unadjusted trends of PM2.5 using the AirGAM model over Delhi, 2007–2022

Energetic particle precipitation influences global secondary ozone distribution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The secondary ozone layer is a global peak in ozone abundance in the upper mesosphere-lower thermosphere (UMLT) around 90-95 km. The effect of energetic particle precipitation (EPP) from geomagnetic processes on this UMLT ... -
Limits to graphite supply in a transition to a post-fossil society
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) aims at reducing emissions in the transportation sector, thereby decreasing fuel oil use and crude oil extraction. Yet, synthetic graphite, ... -
