Air pollution along the border between Norway and Russia has been recorded since 1974 in Sør-Varanger county (Norway) and since 1985 in Murmansk county (Russia). A more extensive collaboration on the environmental pollution problems in the border region was started in 1988 with the establishment of a joint pollution commission. Sulphur dioxide seems to be the most important pollutant causing both environmental damage and adverse health effects. The recommended highest 6-month mean acceptable value for Norway of 40-60 micrograms/m3 was exceeded for two Russian and one Norwegian station during the winter of 1990/91. About 5% of hourly means exceeded 350 micrograms/m3 at the most polluted Norwegian station. The highest value recorded at the nearest populated area in Norway was 2500 micrograms/m3 (The Norwegian Institute for Air Research). Standardized mortality data suggest an increase in deaths from cancer and cardiovascular disease in two cities with nickel refineries, compared to a control city. Further analysis is required to confirm this.
自1974年起，挪威的南瓦朗厄尔郡开始记录挪威与俄罗斯边境地区的空气污染情况；自1985年起，俄罗斯的摩尔曼斯克郡也开始进行记录。1988年，随着联合污染委员会的成立，双方就边境地区的环境污染问题展开了更广泛的合作。二氧化硫似乎是造成环境破坏和健康不良影响的最重要污染物。1990/91年冬季，两个俄罗斯监测站和一个挪威监测站的二氧化硫浓度超过了挪威建议的6个月平均最高可接受值40 - 60微克/立方米。在污染最严重的挪威监测站，约5%的每小时均值超过了350微克/立方米。挪威最近有人居住地区记录到的最高值为2500微克/立方米（挪威空气研究所）。标准化死亡率数据显示，与一个对照城市相比，两个有镍精炼厂的城市中癌症和心血管疾病导致的死亡人数有所增加。需要进一步分析来证实这一点。
