- We will not be able to move all departments to the same preschool, but our goal is to keep the preschool departments together as far as possible.

We will also take siblings into account, says Tomas Hartikainen, sector manager Education Gävle, in a press release.

The levels above general guideline values

It was in connection with soil investigations at Högbergsgården's preschool that Gavlefastigheter found PCBs, which are a mixture of chemical compounds, so-called polychlorinated biphenyls.

The levels of PCBs in the ground outside Högbergsgården's preschool are above the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's general guideline values, Gävle municipality writes in a press release.

- Even if the risk of impact is small, it is important that children and employees are moved to new premises, says Tomas Hartikainen.
