Model evaluation of short-lived climate forcers for the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme: a multi-species, multi-model study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)While carbon dioxide is the main cause for global warming, modeling short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) such as methane, ozone, and particles in the Arctic allows us to simulate near-term climate and health impacts for a ... -
Comparing national greenhouse gas budgets reported in UNFCCC inventories against atmospheric inversions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In support of the global stocktake of the Paris Agreement on climate change, this study presents a comprehensive framework to process the results of an ensemble of atmospheric inversions in order to make their net ecosystem ... -
Undersøkelse av PCDD/PCDF i omgivelsene rundt Pelletsverket ved Aktieselskabet Sydvaranger
(NILU OR;11/96, Research report, 1996)Formålet med utredningen var å kartlegge PCDD/PCDF-konsentrasjonen i omgivelsene rundt pelletsverket i Kirkenes. Kartleggingen baserer seg på målinger i prøver av jord, ferskvanns- og marine sedimenter samt oskjell. Det ... -

Content and migration of chemical additives from plastic products
(NILU report;9/2022, Research report, 2022)NILU has, on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency, performed chemical analyses of a selection of additives in plastic products. The goal was to identify content and migration of the chemical additives in and from the ... -
Quantification and assessment of methane emissions from offshore oil and gas facilities on the Norwegian continental shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The oil and gas (O&G) sector is a significant source of methane (CH4) emissions. Quantifying these emissions remains challenging, with many studies highlighting discrepancies between measurements and inventory-based ... -
Aerosol optical properties calculated from size distributions, filter samples and absorption photometer data at Dome C, Antarctica, and their relationships with seasonal cycles of sources
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Optical properties of surface aerosols at Dome C, Antarctica, in 2007–2013 and their potential source areas are presented. Scattering coefficients (σsp) were calculated from measured particle number size distributions with ... -
The Integrated Carbon Observation System in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Since 1750, land use change and fossil fuel combustion has led to a 46 % increase in the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, causing global warming with substantial societal consequences. The Paris Agreement ... -
Characterization of the atmospheric environment during extreme precipitation events associated with atmospheric rivers in Norway - Seasonal and regional aspects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Extreme precipitation events in Norway in all seasons are often linked to atmospheric rivers (AR). We show that during the period 1979–2018 78.5% of the daily extreme precipitation events in Southwestern Norway are linked ... -
Fluorescent Nanocomposites: Hollow Silica Microspheres with Embedded Carbon Dots
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Intrinsically fluorescent carbon dots may form the basis for a safer and more accurate sensor technology for digital counting in bioanalytical assays. This work presents a simple and inexpensive synthesis method for producing ... -
Ecological unequal exchange: quantifying emissions of toxic chemicals embodied in the global trade of chemicals, products, and waste
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Ecologically unequal exchange arises if more developed economies ('core') shift the environmental burden of their consumption and capital accumulation to less developed economies ('periphery'/'semi-core'). Here we demonstrate ... -
Activity segment 4. BAPMAN Project Deliverable D4.2, D4.3 and D4.4.
(NILU OR;17/2014, Research report, 2014)The Bangladesh Air Pollution Management (BAPMAN) project is NORAD funded institutional-building program (2010-2013) where NILU lends the necessary Air Quality Management tools and associated training to the Clean Air and ... -
What caused a record high PM10 episode in northern Europe in October 2020?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In early October 2020, northern Europe experienced an episode with poor air quality due to high concentrations of particulate matter (PM). At several sites in Norway, recorded weekly values exceeded historical maximum PM10 ... -
Odds and ends of atmospheric mercury in Europe and over the North Atlantic Ocean: temporal trends of 25 years of measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The global monitoring plan of the Minamata Convention on Mercury was established to generate long-term data necessary for evaluating the effectiveness of regulatory measures at a global scale. After 25 years of monitoring ... -

Development of a Novel Framework for the Assessment and Improvement of Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Actions in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in the European Union (EU) are mainly caused by human activity from five sectors—power, industry, transport, buildings, and agriculture. To tackle all these challenges, the EU actions ... -
Improving Estimates of Sulfur, Nitrogen, and Ozone Total Deposition through Multi-Model and Measurement-Model Fusion Approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Earth system and environmental impact studies need high quality and up-to-date estimates of atmospheric deposition. This study demonstrates the methodological benefits of multimodel ensemble and measurement-model fusion ... -
