Denne rapporten gir en gjennomgang av ulike forebyggende og konfliktdempende tiltak som har blitt finansiert av Fylkesmannen i Nordland i perioden 2000-2009. Det er tatt utgangspunkt i saksdokumenter hos Fylkesmannen, samt data fra erstatningsoppgjøret (Rovbase.no) og Organisert beitebruk. Prosedyrene for finansieringsordningen er også vurdert.

The accumulation of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in the environment raises concern in light of observed detrimental effects on wildlife as well as on public health. We here present a recently modified method for the identification and quantification of the following selection of bromodiphenyl ether (BDE) flame retardants: BDE-17, -47, -66, -100, -153 and -183, in soil and sediments, using a new extraction procedure followed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Low- and high- resolution mass spectrometry (LRMS and HRMS, respectively) were compared and the latter was found to be superior with respect to both sensitivity and linear range. At LRMS mode the linear range was 3.8 - 19.2 ng/g, while the use of HRMS more than doubled the linear range to 1.9 - 38.4 ng/g. Both methods were tested with regards to matrix associated effects on the limit of detection and quantification. The use of HRMS yielded equal sensitivity for standards in solution and matrix. This was not the case when using LRMS. Here the limits of detection and quantification were severely elevated by the matrix. Recoveries were comparable, but slightly higher at LRMS mode (77.0 - 121.9%) compared to HRMS (83.2 - 115.3%). The method described here is high throughput, low cost and will prove valuable in monitoring the levels of BFRs in the environment.

Abstract: Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element to animals and humans as Se is incorporated in a series of organic molecules, such as 30 mammalian selenoproteins or seleno-enzymes, which are vital for the basic functions of life. To increase the Se intake in Se-deficient areas, food and feed can be enriched using Se fertilizers or supplements. The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution, speciation, bioaccessibility, and bioavailability of Se in Se-enriched wheat (SW) grain and in Se-enriched chicken meat products using commercial enzymes and human gastric juices (HGJs). Results from the present work show that Se in wheat is bioaccessible and bioavailable, and that SW flour or bran can serve as a valuable dietary source of Se to humans. However, the bioaccessibility studies using commercial enzymes and HGJs for wheat flour, bran, and chicken meat digestion suggests that the use of commercial enzymes overestimate Se bioavailability. Furthermore, the use of NaCl or Tris-HCl to extract Se proteins from enriched products was not suited for bioaccessibility studies.The SW flour or bran can, however, serve as a valuable dietary source of Se to humans.

The report discusses strategies for the utilization of anaerobically treated poultry manure and slaughterhouse waste (ADR) from Lusakert Poultry Plant Production (LPPP) at Lusakert Biogas Plant (LBP), Kotayk Region, Armenia. ADR is currently an untapped resource of nutrients stored in lagoons, while at the same time representing a source of pollution for the Hsradan river. The project"s two goals were to 1) contribute to the reduction in waste disposed in lagoons from LBP and 2) increase recycling of organic wastes in Armenia. Both goals will contribute to sustainable resource management in Armenia. Anaerobically digested residue from LBP represents an untapped source of essential nutrients for crop production in Armenia. Plant nutrients in ADR are readily available. When ADR is used as fertilizer, crop yields similar to those achieved with the use of mineral fertilizers may be obtained. However, distribution of ADR from the biogas plant to the surrounding farms requires transport by tanker trucks, and the transport distances are longer than what is common for transport of liquid organic fertilizers in the Nordic countries. It is also necessary to develop an infrastructure for storing the ADR at the individual recipient or in greater common stock near the farms. An alternative is to store ADR in the lagoons of LBP and pump it on tanker trucks that run directly to the farmer"s fields, where it is spread immediately. However, this option can only be conducted during the growing season. Alternatively, the ADR can be used to produce solid organic fertilizer and soil conditioner, which would facilitate transportation and storage. This can be done by 1) aerobic composting, 2) vermi-composting and 3) concentrating nutrients in ADR to a solid that can be separated from the liquid. All these strategies can produce a valuable fertilizer, but the market for such products needs to be developed in Armenia. ADR or composted ADR can contain contaminants with health and environmental risks, depending on the origin of the raw material used. If mushroom waste is used as a substrate for the composting of ADR, the heavy metal content of the final compost is not expected to be much lower than in ADR because mushroom waste of interest is based on chicken manure. By using straw or other suitable plant material as a substrate, it is likely that the heavy metal content is reduced. The concentrations of organic pollutants in composted ADR from LBP are expected to be low, due to expected low concentrations of organic contaminants in poultry manure and slaughterhouse waste. It is also assumed that veterinary pharmaceuticals do not pose a risk through the use of ADR or composted ADR. There is a risk that pathogenic bacteria are found in the ADR and composted ADR, but these bacteria are not in their natural environment, and it is unknown whether pathogen contamination is a real risk to the public by the use of ADR in agriculture. Armenia has an Agriculture Support Republican Center, which heads the Agriculture Support Regional Centers. The regional centers provide counseling to farmers in Armenia. The Agriculture Support Centers should be strengthened and further developed as a strategy for optimal use of ADR in Armenian agriculture. Collaboration between the biogas plants, farmers, farmer organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government organizations and scientific institutions should be developed with the common goal of helping to develop good management practices for optimum utilization of ADR as organic fertilizer in Armenia.
