– We follow the situation continuously. But what we do know, is that when it is the type of weather conditions that we have now, with warm air on top of cold air, so it may take a little time to get foruresningen to go down. I hope that we get it as soon as possible, for it is properly dangerous when it gets like that as it is now, said Berg.

Still danger

on Tuesday morning, there are no plans to ease kjøreforbudet for diesel cars in Oslo municipality:

– There have been some snow that was not notified, but it is expected to give soon. We have an ongoing dialogue with the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, and that we get lit is that the rainfall will not be of great importance for eksosforurensningen, ” says Alise Davidsen, communications director in the Bymiljøetaten.

– It is still expected little wind both today and in the morning, and there is a risk of high concentrations of exhaust fumes. At the same time says værprognosene still that there will be improvement and more wind from Thursday morning.

the on-duty meteorologist Nina Larsgaard by the Norwegian Meteorological institute says that in the morning will send up a værsone, which will give some clearer answers on how the situation develops.

” We got a snowfall which came much earlier than notified. It may have had a small effect on the forurensningsnivået, but this will anyway give up now, ” says Larsgaard.

the Rest of the day today there will be interruptions and no change in the weather. We will have inversions, i.e. the warm air that lies like a lid on the cold air, both today and tomorrow. Thursday it notified more wind, so when it comes to breaking up.
