Today, PFAS sufferers in Kallinge will be notified of compensation from the state

Residents of Kallinge affected by PFAS contamination in their drinking water have received a response from the Justice Office regarding their claims for compensation from the state. The contamination occurred due to firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals leaking into the water supply from the Brantafors water plant operated by Ronneby Municipality until December 2013. The PFAS exposure was linked to military training exercises at Kallinge Airfield, where the fire department used PFAS-containing foam. Members of the PFAS association previously won compensation from Ronneby Municipal Council in the Supreme Court for personal injuries and violations of human rights. The Justice Office has now provided a decision on their claims for state compensation.
