Description
Summary:The report summarizes the results from additional snow sampling and regular monitoring activities in connection to the rocket launch in Ny-Ålesund 7 Dec 2018, 26 Nov 2019 and 10 Dec 2019 to document possible impacts on environment and on the monitoring activities in Ny-Ålesund. An enhanced deposition of aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) on the local environment due to the rocket launch is observed. Rapporten oppsummerer resultatene fra ekstra analyser av snøprøver samt pågående overvåkingsaktiviteter i forbindelse med rakettoppskytingen i Ny-Ålesund 7. desember 2018, 26. november 2019 og 10. desember 2019 for å dokumentere mulige påvirkninger av rakettoppskyting på miljøet og overvåkingsaktivitetene i Ny-Ålesund.
