(2022-01-03)Background: In Iceland air quality is generally good; however, previous studies indicate that there is an association between air pollution in Reykjavik and adverse health effects as measured by dispensing of medications, mortality, and increase in ... -
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-04-29)The integrated forest ecosystem model ForSAFE-Veg was used to simulate soil processes and understory vegetation composition at three—sugar maple, beech, yellow birch—hardwood forest sites in the Northeastern United States (one at Hubbard Brook, NH, and ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2017-09-11)Background The eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull (2010) and Grímsvötn (2011), Iceland, triggered immediate, international consideration of the respiratory health hazard of inhaling volcanic ash, and prompted the need to estimate the potential hazard posed ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2018-01-10)Background: Air pollution is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Experimental studies, and a few epidemiological studies, suggest that air pollution may cause acute exacerbation of psychiatric disorders, and even increase ...
-
(Copernicus GmbH, 2017-09-12)The separation of volcanic ash and sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas is sometimes observed during volcanic eruptions. The exact conditions under which separation occurs are not fully understood but the phenomenon is of importance because of the effects volcanic ...

(European Association of Geochemistry, 2015)The effusive six months long 2014-2015 Bárðarbunga eruption (31 August-27 February) was the largest in Iceland for more than 200 years, producing 1.6 ± 0.3 km3 of lava. The total SO2 emission was 11 ± 5 Mt, more than the amount emitted from Europe ...

(2019-10)Í þessari grein er fjallað um loftmengun á Íslandi og áhrif hennar á heilsu manna. Loftmengun má lýsa sem ástandi þar sem styrkur efna eða efnasambanda í andrúmslofti er orðinn það hár að hann veldur óæskilegum eða skaðlegum áhrifum á heilsu almennings ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-10-23)The reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere is currently one of the main challenges facing humanity. One solution is carbon capture from concentrated sources and directly from the atmosphere, and long term storage in rocks. Basaltic ...

(MDPI AG, 2020-04-18)Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, suffers from severe air pollution during the long winter months, and its air pollution levels are among the highest in the world. Residents in the ger areas of Ulaanbaatar are unable to take advantage of the laws ...
-
(Elsevier BV, 2017-11)The chemical composition of Icelandic rain and snow is dominated by marine aerosols, however human and volcanic activity can also affect these compositions. The six month long 2014–15 Bárðarbunga volcanic eruption was the largest in Iceland for more ...

Protect Me from What I Want: Understanding Excessive Polluting Behavior and the Willingness to Act (MDPI AG, 2020-07-21)Many environmental problems stem from unsustainable human consumption. Accordingly, many studies have focused on the barriers to pro-environmental behavior. The inability or unwillingness to act is partially related to personal values as well as the ...

(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-09-23)The 2014–2015 Bárðarbunga-Veiðivötn fissure eruption at Holuhraun produced about 1.5 km3 of lava, making it the largest eruption in Iceland in more than 200 years. Over the course of the eruption, daily volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions exceeded ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-08-27)Dust is an important component of the earth-atmosphere system, affecting amongst other things air quality, vegetation, infrastructure, animal and human health. Iceland produces a large amount of dust, with dust storms reported frequently especially ...
-
(2021-10)Lidar systems have been used widely to measure wind profiles and atmospheric aerosols. The scanning Doppler lidars operated by the Icelandic Meteorological Office can provide continuous measurements of the wind velocity and direction based on the Doppler ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-11-06)High Latitude Dust (HLD) contributes 5% to the global dust budget, but HLD measurements are sparse. Dust observations from Iceland provide dust aerosol distributions during the Arctic winter for the first time, profiling dust storms as well as clean ...
