About
Dr Helene Lunder Halvorsen is a scientist at the Department of Environmental Chemistry and Health Effects and responsible for the Norwegian monitoring programme “Atmospheric contaminants” on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency. She is also involved in the reporting of organic contaminants under the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme EMEP.
She has a master’s degree in Organic Chemistry (MSc) and completed her PhD at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oslo in 2023. In her PhD, she focused on regulated persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and used air samples from Norway and Europe to investigate the occurrence, distribution and sources of POPs.
During her 13 years at NILU, she has gained much experience with air sampling and analysis of organic contaminants, with a particular focus on method development and quality assurance of data.
