The National Environmental Research Institute of Denmark (Danish: Danmarks Miljøundersøgelser) or NERI is an independent research institute within the University of Aarhus. NERI undertakes scientific consultancy work and monitoring of nature and the environment as well as applied and strategic research. NERI’s primary task is to establish a scientific foundation for environmental policy decisions.
NERI participates in a large number of national and international research programmes, and also participates in scientific working groups, commissions, and organizations under such bodies as the European Union and the United Nations.
Staff
As of January 2008, NERI had a total staff of 437, of which 75% were devoted to research and consultancy:Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag[1][2] to describe transport, transformation and deposition of air pollutants. The models range in spatial resolution from local air pollution in a single street, to both nation-wide and global air pollution. NERI compiles Danish emission inventories as part of Denmark's obligations in accordance with international conventions.
NERI also participates in many international collaboration networks within the field of air pollution, and it hosts websites for several such networks.
NERI's Department of Atmospheric Environment (ATMI) has a staff of over 65 scientists and researchers who conduct work within the following fields:
- Monitoring and mapping of the air quality in Denmark and the Arctic.
- Research, development and application of atmospheric chemical dispersion models.
- Studying air pollution scenarios and prognoses as well as air pollution from vehicular traffic.
- Studies, analyses, and models for the transport, transformation and fate of toxic air pollutants.
