Purpose and goal
The project aims to find sustainable solutions to reduce PFAS contamination in Sweden´s water resources. The goal is to develop effective methods for purifying drinking water, wastewater, and other water sources. Through collaboration with various stakeholders and a case study, the project will produce solutions that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The results will be applicable to improve water management in Sweden and internationally.
Expected effects and result
The project is expected to develop effective and sustainable methods to reduce PFAS contamination in Sweden´s water. It should contribute to improved water purification, reduce risks for the environment and health and strengthen society´s resistance to pollution. By developing practical and cost-effective solutions, the project can support long-term sustainable water management, where the results can be applied nationally and internationally to meet the PFAS challenge.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is divided into several work packages that include knowledge synthesis, case studies and development of action strategies. Through collaboration with various actors, PFAS sources must be mapped, measures evaluated and cost-effective solutions developed. Fallstudien Mälaren is used as a model for testing and developing methods. The project combines workshops, analysis and system demonstrators to ensure that the results are practically applicable and sustainable in the long term.
