We find that the presence of the intrinsic bispectrum will bias a measurement of primordial non-Gaussianity of local type by $f_{NL}^\text{bias}=0. 66$ for an ideal experiment with $\ell_\text{max}=3000$.

The intrinsic B-mode polarisation is present independent of the initial conditions and might contaminate the signal from primordial gravitational waves.

We develop a new, efficient code for solving the second-order Einstein-Boltzmann equations, and use it to estimate the intrinsic CMB non-Gaussianity arising from the non-linear evolution of density perturbations.
