These models have been used in comprehensive studies of the health effects related to pollution from industry and road traffic. Models for indoor air studies have also been established to quantify the impact in different micro-environments. Atmospheric corrosion and the degradation of materials have been important fields for many years. Considerable knowledge has been established to specify the links between air quality, climate and degradation of various types of materials and protection systems. As a result of this project NILU has established a comprehensive network of national and international contacts in this field.
