New textbook on air polution

Scientists from NERI at Aarhus University have made a major contribution to writing and editing of “Air Pollution. From a local to a global perspective”.

Improve climate change integration

Specific measures to tackle climate change will only be successful if they are coherently integrated with other government policies , says a report published by the Partnership for European Environmental Research (PEER) which NERI has contributed to.

Road pricing helps curb health-damaging air pollution

mandag 05. juli 2010

The effect of road pricing depends on the pricing level. Investigations conducted by the National Environmental Research Institute (NERI) at Aarhus University show that the total amount of traffic can be reduced by 7-13% with the contemplated levels. Particularly private traffic, which does not contribute as much to health-damaging air pollution as, for instance, trucks per driven kilometre, will decline. Therefore, the effects on the local health-damaging air pollution will be considerably...

PEER launches newsletter

We are happy to present PEER News, the newsletter of the Partnership for European Environmental Research (PEER). The first issue focuses among others on a PEER-initiative to build a European digital atlas of ecosystem services, that wealth and population are key drivers of invasive speies, snake populations decline.

Model to estimate air pollution along highways

Scientists from the National Environmental Research Institute (NERI) at Aarhus University have developed a user-friendly highway model for air quality together with Ingenieurbüro Lohmeyer, Germany. The model is integrated into a GIS program and it will be useful for EIA, evaluation of air quality along highways and scenario analyses.

NERI participates in European topic centre on climate change adaptation

Scientists from the National Environmental Research Centre (NERI), Aarhus University, take part in a new ”European Topic Centre” on climate change adaptation. The new topic centre will provide support to the European Environment Agency (EEA) and its monitoring network, Eionet.

No evidence of serious damage to the environment from mustard gases

More than 200 fishermen have been injured by the chemical warfare agents (CWA) dumped in the Baltic Sea near the island of Bornholm after the 2nd World War. However, researchers have not been able to demonstrate any damage to fish or other organisms in the sea. Low concentrations of decomposition products from the CWA can still be measured in the sea bed, but the researchers believe that most of the CWA are now more or less decomposed. These are the conclusions presented in a newly published...

Contribution to air pollution from residential wood combustion

The contribution to air pollution from residential wood combustion has now been mapped in unprecedented detail by researchers from the National Environmental Research Institute (NERI), Aarhus University. A comprehensive monitoring campaign in the Danish town Slagslunde indicates that residential wood combustion is a major contributor to particle pollution. When compared to the amount of heat produced, pollution from wood stoves far exceeds that from other methods of heating. However, the...
