Microplastic Fiber Emissions From Wastewater Effluents: Abundance, Transport Behavior and Exposure Risk for Biota in an Arctic Fjord
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Microfibers (MF) are one of the major classes of microplastic found in the marine environment on a global scale. Very little is known about how they move and distribute from point sources such as wastewater effluents into ... -
Large seasonal and interannual variations of biogenic sulfur compounds in the Arctic atmosphere (Svalbard; 78.9° N, 11.9° E)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Seasonal to interannual variations in the concentrations of sulfur aerosols (< 2.5 µm in diameter; non sea-salt sulfate: NSS-SO2−4; anthropogenic sulfate: Anth-SO2−4; biogenic sulfate: Bio-SO2−4; methanesulfonic acid: MSA) ... -
Collection and storage of human white blood cells for analysis of DNA damage and repair activity using the comet assay in molecular epidemiology studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)DNA damage and repair activity are often assessed in blood samples from humans in different types of molecular epidemiology studies. However, it is not always feasible to analyse the s#38les on the day of collection without ... -
Quantifying the Impact of the Covid-19 Lockdown Measures on Nitrogen Dioxide Levels throughout Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this paper, the effect of the lockdown measures on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Europe is analysed by a statistical model approach based on a generalised additive model (GAM). The GAM is designed to find relationships ... -
Validation of the Sentinel-5 Precursor TROPOMI cloud data withCloudnet, Aura OMI O2–O2, MODIS, and Suomi-NPP VIIR
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Accurate knowledge of cloud properties is essential to the measurement of atmospheric composition from space. In this work we assess the quality of the cloud data from three Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) TROPOMI ... -
Quantification of Element Mass Concentrations in Ambient Aerosols by Combination of Cascade Impactor Sampling and Mobile Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Quantitative chemical analysis of airborne particulate matter (PM) is vital for the understanding of health effects in indoor and outdoor environments, as well as for enforcing EU air quality regulations. Typically, airborne ... -
The consolidated European synthesis of CO2 emissions and removals for the European Union and United Kingdom: 1990–2018
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Paris Agreement. This study provides a consolidated synthesis of estimates for all anthropogenic and natural sources and sinks of CO2 for the European Union and UK (EU27 + UK), derived from a combination of state-of-the-art ... -
DNA Repair Gene Polymorphisms and Chromosomal Aberrations in Exposed Populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)DNA damage and unrepaired or insufficiently repaired DNA double-strand breaks as well as telomere shortening contribute to the formation of structural chromosomal aberrations (CAs). Non-specific CAs have been used in the ... -
Dimethyl Sulfide-Induced Increase in Cloud Condensation Nuclei in the Arctic Atmosphere
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Oceanic dimethyl sulfide (DMS) emissions have been recognized as a biological regulator of climate by contributing to cloud formation. Despite decades of research, the climatic role of DMS remains ambiguous largely because ... -
Oceanic long-range transport of organic additives present in plastic products: an overview
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Most plastics are made of persistent synthetic polymer matrices that contain chemical additives in significant amounts. Millions of tonnes of plastics are produced every year and a significant amount of this plastic enters ... -
Effects of rocket launches in Ny-Ålesund, 2018 - 2019. Observations of snow and air samples.
(NILU report;7/2021, Research report, 2021)The report summarizes the results from additional snow sampling and regular monitoring activities in connection to the rocket launch in Ny-Ålesund 7 Dec 2018, 26 Nov 2019 and 10 Dec 2019 to document possible impacts on ... -
Low-cost sensors and networks. Overview of current status by the Norwegian Reference Laboratory for Air Quality.
(NILU report;15/2020, Research report, 2021)The increase of the commercial availability of low-cost sensor technology to monitor atmospheric composition is contributing to the rapid adoption of such technology by both public authorities and self-organized initiatives ... -
Toxic effects of gunshot fumes from different ammunitions for small arms on lung cells exposed at the air liquid interface
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Concerns have been raised as to whether gunshot fumes induce prolonged reduced lung capacity or even cancer due to inhalation. Gunshot fumes from three different types of ammunition calibre 5.56 mm × 45 NATO were investigated. ... -
The influence of probe spacing and probe bias in a double Langmuir probe setup
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Multi-needle Langmuir probes are mounted on satellites and sounding rockets for high-frequency characterization of plasma in the ionosphere. Mounted on a spacecraft, the recorded probe current often differs from expected ... -
Time trends of perfluoroalkyl substances in blood in 30-year old Norwegian men and women in the period 1986–2007
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Biomonitoring studies are helpful tools and can increase our knowledge on time trends in human blood concentrations of PFASs: how they relate to emission trends and the potential prenatal exposure for future generations. ... -
Implementing Citizen Science in Primary Schools: Engaging Young Children in Monitoring Air Pollution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Most European cities have air pollution levels that exceed the threshold for human health protection. Children are sensitive to air pollution and thus it is important to ensure they are not exposed to high concentrations ... -
Spatiotemporal Patterns in Data Availability of the Sentinel-5P NO2 Product over Urban Areas in Norway
