Environmental Contaminants Services
NIVA works with contaminants in all areas of aquatic ecosystems. Research on environmental contaminants is one of NIVA`s main areas of work. We have performed nationwide monitoring of aquatic environments for decades and have accumulated long-term series of environmental data. NIVA scientists are experts in how contaminants behave in water, sediments and food chains with fluctuations and changes in the environment, e.g. climate change.Most popular related searches

NIVA activities include:
- charting concentrations of contaminants and classifying environmental conditions
- studying and modelling ways in which contaminants are dispersed in the environment
- developing methods of analysis and measuring devices for contaminants
- testing the effects of contaminants on cells, individuals and populations
- evaluating the consequences of discharges to freshwater and marine environments
- developing and testing technology for removing contaminants in seepage water from refuse facillities, industrial effluents and pollution from mines
- developing techniques and decision-making tools to aid in the implementation of measures against polluted sediments
