      In the Norwegian River Monitoring Programme (in Norwegian: Elveovervåkingsprogrammet) 20 rivers along the Norwegian coast are monitored for physical and chemical parameters. This report presents the current status (2021) and long-term (19902021) trends in suspended particles, organic matter, nutrients, and metals. EU Water Framework Directive priority substances and river basin-specific pollutants ...
    • Priority substances and emerging contaminants in selected Norwegian rivers – The River Monitoring Programme 2018 

      Allan, Ian; Jenssen, Marthe Torunn Solhaug; Braaten, Hans Fredrik Veiteberg (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2019)
      Riverine inputs and direct discharges to Norwegian coastal waters in 2018 have been estimated in accordance with the OSPAR Commission’s principles. This report focuses on EU Water Framework Directive priority substances as well as river basin-specific pollutants (trace metals and organic pollutants) that were monitored with bottle sampling in water and biota sampling (fish). Levels observed were ...

      <p>Considerable amounts of previously deposited persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are stored in the Arctic cryosphere. Transport of freshwater and terrestrial material to the Arctic Ocean is increasing due to ongoing climate change and the impact this has on POPs in marine receiving systems is unknown This study has investigated how secondary sources of POPs from land influence the occurrence and ...
