Spatial distribution of Dechlorane Plus and dechlorane related compounds in European background air
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The highly chlorinated chemical Dechlorane Plus (DP) was introduced as a replacement flame retardant for Mirex, which is banned through the Stockholm Convention (SC) for its toxicity (T), environmental persistence (P), ... -
Climate Performance, Environmental Toxins and Nutrient Density of the Underutilized Norwegian Orange-Footed Sea Cucumber (Cucumaria frondosa)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Low trophic species are often mentioned as additional food sources to achieve broader and more sustainable utilisation of the ocean. The aim of this study was to map the food potential of Norwegian orange-footed sea cucumber ... -
Different Sensitivity of Advanced Bronchial and Alveolar Mono- and Coculture Models for Hazard Assessment of Nanomaterials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)For the next-generation risk assessment (NGRA) of chemicals and nanomaterials, new approach methodologies (NAMs) are needed for hazard assessment in compliance with the 3R’s to reduce, replace and refine animal experiments. ... -
Arctic tropospheric ozone: assessment of current knowledge and model performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), tropospheric ozone (O3) is also an air pollutant causing damage to human health and ecosystems. This study brings together ... -
Inferring surface energy fluxes using drone data assimilation in large eddy simulations
(Journal article, 2022)Spatially representative estimates of surface energy exchange from field measurements are required for improving and validating Earth system models and satellite remote sensing algorithms. The scarcity of flux measurements ... -
Economic Feasibility of Power/Heat Cogeneration by Biogas–Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Integrated Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Based upon the thermodynamic simulation of a biogas-SOFC integrated process and the costing of its elements, the present work examines the economic feasibility of biogas-SOFCs for combined heat and power (CHP) generation, ... -
What do we know about the production and release of persistent organic pollutants in the global environment?
(Journal article, 2022)Information on the global production and environmental releases of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is of critical importance for regulating and eliminating these chemical substances of worldwide environmental and ... -
Impacts of snow assimilation on seasonal snow and meteorological forecasts for the Tibetan Plateau
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The Tibetan Plateau (TP) contains the largest amount of snow outside the polar regions and is the source of many major rivers in Asia. An accurate long-range (i.e. seasonal) meteorological forecast is of great importance ... -
Air quality assessment in the surroundings of aluminium smelters. Effect of emissions on air quality in the past (1992 – now).
(NILU report;24/2022, Research report, 2022)On behalf of Aluminiumindustriens Miljøsekretariat (AMS), NILU – Norwegian Institute for Air Research reviewed existing data on ambient air quality around aluminium smelters from the period 1992 – 2020. Changes in production ... -
