Contaminated Sediments:
The Nordic Council of Ministers have recognized the need to compile the knowledge of sediment remediation strategies and to evaluate different remediation approaches. The objective of this report is to give a status of regulatory framework and sediment management within selected Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark). In addition, the report gives a short overview of international knowledge on remediation approaches, techniques, and materials. Governance and regulatory instruments in dealing with contaminated sediments vary between countries. Of the countries presented, only Norwegian environmental authorities have implemented a national strategy for remediation of marine contaminated sediments. A Nordic database of clean-up projects and long-term monitoring would improve the exchange of knowledge between the Nordic countries.
Nådeløse nordmenn. Statspolitiet 1941-1945
For første gang fortelles historien om et stort antall nordmenn som gjorde seg skyldige i grove krigsforbrytelser på norsk jord. Under Den andre verdenskrig opprettet NS-regimet og den tyske okkupasjonsmakten en rekke organisasjoner som skulle operere i Norge med norsk personell. En av disse var Statspolitiet, en politisk spesialavdeling i politiet. I Statspolitiet utviklet det seg et brutalt miljø. De norske polititjenestemennene utførte ugjerninger som savner sidestykke i norsk historie. Med bakgrunn i et omfattende kildemateriale kaster Eirik Veum lys over en ubehagelig side av norsk krigshistorie som hittil har vært lite omtalt.

Suspect screening in Nordic countries
This report describes the results of a suspect screening study in samples from city areas in the Nordic countries. In contrast to target analysis, suspect screening starts with a general sample preparation and identification including as much compounds as possible. The resulting list of recorded compounds will be identified by comparison with a list of suspected compounds. Suspect screening has shown to be very useful for identification of emerging environmental pollutants. It was possible to identify: Perfluorinated compounds (PFC), chlorinated and brominated compounds, flame retardants, bisphenols, polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC), industrial additives, and pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP). This study was jointly performed by NILU, NIVA, and Umeå University on behalf of the Nordic Council of Ministers. The study was supervised by the Nordic screening group.
