Swedish Drinking Water Contamination Crisis

In recent years, concerns over water contamination have escalated worldwide. In Sweden, a recent investigation by Swedish National Television has shed light on a pressing issue.

SVT's findings reveal alarming levels of PFAS in drinking water supplied by various water treatment plants across the country. Communities such as Halmstad, Uppsala, and Västerås are among those affected, with PFAS concentrations exceeding the impending threshold. The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated, as PFAS is known to pose serious health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects.

The Swedish Nature Conservation Association also recently published a study that showcase that 2 million Swedes drink contaminated water, compared to the legal levels in the neighbouring country Denmark.
