70-BYM-2022 - Framework agreement for instruments for measuring air quality in Oslo - 2nd notice

Kort beskrivelse

BYM is responsible for working for better air quality. The agency is the delegated pollution authority in Oslo Municipality. In addition BYM is responsible for the municipal road network in Oslo. The agency measures the air quality in accordance with the pollution regulations, chapter 7 on local air quality. BYM also has environmental monitoring assignments that are connected to environmental health protection. Measurements of local air pollution are a legal requirement in Oslo. This applies to both general measurements of air pollution in towns and with stricter requirements due to exceeding assessment thresholds for local air quality. The pollution regulations (cf. the Pollution Act) define under which limits the local air quality measurements must be made. The pollution regulations follow the superior EU directives on local air pollution (EU Directives 2008/50 and 2004/107).
