Snowland
Sustainable urban snow management within tighter frames for nature, the environment and land use.
SIREN
SIREN (Integrated system for simultaneous recovery of energy, organics and nutrients and generation of valuable products from municipal wastewater) will develop a system that recovers energy, organics and nutrients from municipal wastewater while simultaneously generating valuable products.
“Green” car tires are far from environmentally friendly
A recent NIVA study shows that so-called “green” car tires, which are marketed as environmentally friendly, can actually be just as harmful to the environment as regular tires – and in some cases even worse.
WatRes: antibiotic resistance in Hias inlet and effluent water
The WatRes project investigates the occurrence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistance genes from the Hias wastewater treatment plant to Lake Mjøsa, a main source of drinking water and irrigation.
New research informs about environmental effects of pharmaceutical discharges from hospitals
A comprehensive Norwegian study has investigated the environmental effects of pharmaceutical discharges via wastewater from hospitals. Some drugs may pose a hazard to the environment, while for several drugs we lack knowledge about the effects on aquatic life.

Car tires and environmental impact
PlasticTrace
The PlasticTrace project addressed the urgent need to develop and harmonise methods for identifying, characterising, and quantifying small micro- and nanoplastics (SMPs/NPs) in drinking water, food, and environmental matrices, in line with the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP).
Microplastics in coastal areas, rivers and lakes (Mikronor)
"Monitoring of microplastics in coastal areas, rivers and lakes" is a monitoring programme that aims to increase knowledge about the extent of microplastic pollution in Norway.
Pollutants in an Urban Fjord
The program aims to map the levels of pollutants present in a fjord in a densely populated area and how the pollution is concentrated in the food web in the fjord system.
Catchment biogeochemistry
The section for catchment biogeochemistry works to understand how various pollutants are spread in the environment and how they affect the water quality in rivers, lakes, and fjords. Our studies lay the foundation for and support political guidelines and improvements to reduce unwanted environmental impacts.
Freshwater ecology
NIVA's sections on Freshwater Ecology have expertise in the monitoring and restoration of freshwater ecosystems and their biodiversity. We develop knowledge and understanding that provide a basis for applied, evidence-based freshwater management.
Environmental data science
The Section for Environmental Data Science manages and quality assures NIVA's data and makes them available to NIVA's researchers.
