The climate and environmental research institute NILU, acting on behalf of the Joint Nordic screening group, organized the sampling and carried out subsequent analysis for tire related additive chemicals in the “Screening of tire wear road run off” project. The project was initiated in 2022, with field work and chemical analysis carried out in 2023. Linda Hanssen was the project leader, whilst the steering group was comprised of the members of the Joint Nordic screening group: Eivind Farmen, Linda Linderholm, Maria Linderoth, Iben Boutrup Kongsfelt, Bård Nordbø, Katrin Hoydal, Emmi Vähä and Bergdís Björk Bæringsdóttir. The sampling efforts were a collaborative effort, where each partner country provided relevant samples to NILU for analysis. Sample preparation was conducted by Gabriele Piattoli, Ådne Hotvedt and Linda Hanssen. Method development and sample analysis was performed by Vladimir Nikiforov, Linda Hanssen and Natascha Schmidt. This report has been collaboratively written by Linda Hanssen, Natascha Schmidt and Vladimir Nikiforov.
