Transformative Potential and Learning Outcomes of Air Quality Citizen Science Projects in High Schools Using Low-Cost Sensors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The rise of advanced ICT technologies has made it possible to apply low-cost sensor systems for measuring air quality in citizen science projects, including education. High school students in Norway used these sensor systems ... -
Seasonal Variation of Wet Deposition of Black Carbon at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Black carbon (BC) aerosol deposited in and onto Arctic snow increases the snow's absorption of solar radiation and accelerates snowmelt. Concentrations of BC in the Arctic atmosphere and snow are controlled by wet deposition; ... -
Black Carbon Emission Reduction Due to COVID-19 Lockdown in China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)During the Lunar New Year Holiday of 2020, China implemented an unprecedented lockdown to fight the COVID-19 outbreak, which strongly affected the anthropogenic emissions. We utilized elemental carbon observations (equivalent ... -

A European aerosol phenomenology - 7: High-time resolution chemical characteristics of submicron particulate matter across Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Similarities and differences in the submicron atmospheric aerosol chemical composition are analyzed from a unique set of measurements performed at 21 sites across Europe for at least one year. These sites are located between ... -
Real-time measurement of radionuclide concentrations and its impact on inverse modeling of 106Ru release in the fall of 2017
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Low concentrations of 106Ru were detected across Europe at the turn of September and October 2017. The origin of 106Ru has still not been confirmed; however, current studies agree that the release occurred probably near ... -
Ren luft for alle. ExtraStiftelsen project 2019/HE1-263918.
(NILU report;22/2020, Research report, 2021)In 2019, in the framework of Oslo being European Green Capital, NILU invited students from elementary schools to measure air pollution in their neighbourhood, using simple and affordable measuring methods based on paper ... -
The consolidated European synthesis of CH4 and N2O emissions for the European Union and United Kingdom: 1990–2017
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Reliable quantification of the sources and sinks of greenhouse gases, together with trends and uncertainties, is essential to monitoring the progress in mitigating anthropogenic emissions under the Paris Agreement. This ... -
Citizen science platforms
(Chapter, 2021)Adequate infrastructure for citizen science is constantly growing and has become increasingly important in providing support to citizen science activities, both nationally and internationally. Many types of citizen science ... -
SAMIRA-SAtellite Based Monitoring Initiative for Regional Air Quality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The satellite based monitoring initiative for regional air quality (SAMIRA) initiative was set up to demonstrate the exploitation of existing satellite data for monitoring regional and urban scale air quality. The project ... -
Expression of DNA repair genes in arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) from Bjørnøya in the Norwegian Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)High levels of organochlorines (OCs) have been measured in arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) from Lake Ellasjøen on Bjørnøya, Norway (74.30°N, 19.0°E). In a nearby lake, Laksvatn, the OC-levels in arctic char were low. A ... -
Error Prediction of Air Quality at Monitoring Stations Using Random Forest in a Total Error Framework
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Instead of a flag valid/non-valid usually proposed in the quality control (QC) processes of air quality (AQ), we proposed a method that predicts the p-value of each observation as a value between 0 and 1. We based our error ... -
Non-target and suspect characterisation of organic contaminants in ambient air, Part I: Combining a novel sample clean-up method with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Long-term monitoring of regulated organic chemicals, such as legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in ambient air provides valuable information about the compounds' ... -
Concentrations and geographical patterns of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in meat from semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The study aimed at investigating the concentrations and geographical patterns of 11 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 15 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in reindeer muscle samples (n = 100) collected from 10 grazing ... -
Impact of the major SSWs of February 2018 and January 2019 on the middle atmospheric nitric oxide abundance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Arctic middle atmosphere was affected by major sudden stratospheric warmings (SSW) in February 2018 and January 2019, respectively. In this article, we report for the first time the impact of these two events on the ... -
Differentiation of coarse-mode anthropogenic, marine and dust particles in the High Arctic islands of Svalbard
