Fagersta and Norberg are among those who work actively with a database where all chemicals used are entered.

In Sala, a major work is currently underway to develop an environmental program, which will also be adopted politically.

An important branch of Sala's environmental program is about limiting the impact on human health - for example by harmful chemicals, says environmental strategist Linn Hemlin. Photo: Karl David Englund
