Airborne microplastics on the move: Urban Europe as a source to remote regions

This study presents a comprehensive assessment of unique parallel measurements of surface airborne and deposited microplastics (AMPs) across urban and remote sites in Norway, employing pyrolysis-GC/MS for polymer-specific analysis. MPs were detected in nearly all samples, with significantly higher concentrations and fluxes observed in urban areas like Oslo, where tire wear particles (TWP) dominated (>90 % of AMP mass). Seasonal peaks in TWP coincided with the transition to winter tires, while remote sites showed consistent but lower AMP levels, indicating long-range transport (LRT) from European source regions. Parallel measurements of suspended and deposited AMPs revealed consistent polymer signatures, highlighting common sources and transport pathways. Although urban TWP contributions to PM2.5 were generally low, episodic events reached up to 30 %, raising concerns about human exposure. The dual dataset enabled a robust cross-validation of atmospheric loading estimates and facilitated integration into advanced transport models for remote sites. Our findings confirm AMPs as significant components of urban air pollution and subsequent carriers of chemical and biological contaminants to remote regions, emphasizing the need for targeted monitoring and mitigation strategies.

Air quality web portal in Dakar. Operational and editoral procedures. NILU OR

Diokhane, A.M.; Vo, D.T.; Guerreiro, C.

The current report presents the operational and editorial procedures for the Air Quality Web portal in Dakar, operated by the Centre de Gestion de la Qualité de l¿Air de Dakar (CGQA). The procedure to set up the Air Quality Index (AQI) in AirQUIS is described and illustrated in Annexe A. In Annexe B a short description of how AirQUIS calculates the AQI for the different measurement station types is given, as well as the procedure CGQA has to follow to determine the AQI for the whole Dakar city to be presented daily on the Air Quality Web portal. The operational and editorial procedures for the Air Quality Web portal in Dakar have been described by Aminata Diokhane, under supervision of NILU and validated by NILU.
