The Norwegian Institute for Air Research (Norwegian language: Norsk Institutt for luftforskning) or NILU is one of the leading specialized scientific laboratories in Europe dealing solely with problems related to air pollution.
It is a private institute that investigates and assesses technical, economic, hygienic and other environmental questions related to air pollution and the cleaning of polluted air.
Location
NILU's head office is at Kjeller on the outskirts of Oslo in Norway. A specialised office for Arctic related matters is an integrated part of the Polar Environmental Centre in Tromsø.
NILU has two subsidiaries in other countries:

Integrated environmental assessments and optimal abatement strategy planning has been a field of priority during the last few years. Assessment of transboundary transport of air pollutants, acid rain and global air quality are important tasks.
NILU has the responsibility as a national research institution for air pollution in Norway and is also being used as an international air pollution expert by the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the World Health Organization.
NILU has developed an automatic surveillance program for air quality in cities and background areas. NILU has specialized in computerized automatic air pollution surveillance, planning and optimal abatement strategy planning. Their AirQUIS system is a GIS- based air pollution management and planning system designed for managers and decision-makers.[4]
