High levels of PFAS have been measured in wild boar and deer shot between Landvetter Airport and Västra Ingsjön. The County Administrative Board now advises against eating meat from there.
“There is no cause for concern if you have eaten meat from the area. The important thing now is to make hunters aware and limit future intake of meat from the area,” says Uffe Schultz, county environmental engineer at the county board in Västra Götaland in a press release, reports GP.
The County Administrative Board has previously been aware of PFAS, so-called eternal chemicals, in Västra Ingsjön and they advise against eating fish from there.
The source of the pollution is fire-fighting foam from exercises at the airport that has flowed into a stream.
Schultz also mentions that far-reaching conclusions cannot be drawn at the moment and that more samples need to be taken.
