VA company about PFAS: You do not have to worry

Laholmsbuktens VA's CEO tells about their work against PFAS in the clip.

PFAS are industrially produced chemicals that are used in a variety of things and that are incredibly difficult to break down.

Previously, PFAS values ​​in Halmstad's water cover have been linked to extinguishing foam used by the military in its exercises.

Within the limit values

At Laholmsbuktens VA, it is pointed out that the levels measured in Halmstad are still within the limit values, but that they are working to reduce the amount of PFAS by carbon filtering the drinking water.

There is currently a discussion in the EU about lowering the limit for the permitted amount of PFAS substances in drinking water.

- If we were not able to reach set limits, we could not use the water, says Mattias Leijon, CEO of Laholmsbuktens VA.
