Radonmålet gick upp i rök – farliga nivåer i många kommuner
Nya mätdata från Radonova visar att mer än var tionde villa i Göteborg har förhöjda radonhalter. Av drygt 1 700 mätningar mellan 2015 och 2025 hade 231 villor halter över referensvärdet 200 Bq/m³. Det motsvarar 13 % av de mätta villorna, vilket är lägre än rikssnittet på 23 %.
Nationell sammanställning saknas
Både villaägare, ägare av flerfamiljshus och arbetsplatser kan bli bättre på att mäta radon. En sammanställning från de småhus som har en energideklaration från de senaste åren visar att bara runt 15 procent har gjort en radonmätning. Hälften av de mätningarna är dessutom gjorda för många år sedan.
Assessed with probabilistic methods, there are approximately 34,000 workers in Finland whose exposure to radon exceeds the reference level of 300 Bq m−3.
I WANT TO POINT THAT IN SWEDEN THE REFERENCE LEVEL IS 200 Bq m-3
Höga halter radon i Helsingborgs kommun
I Helsingborg finns det områden med höga halter radon. Radonova har mätt upp till 900 Bq/m³ i vissa fastigheter. Enligt Folkhälsomyndigheten ska halten inte vara högre än 200 Bq/m³.
3D-skrivare ger utsläpp av farliga ångor och mycket små partiklar, inklusive så kallade nanopartiklar. Dessa ämnen kan påverka vår hälsa negativt.
Nu börjar 3D-printat material att användas i hem, skolor o bibliotek. Olika typer av plastmaterial som hettas upp för att skapa önskade former. Dessa material kan vid upphettning avge farliga emissioner, VOCs. (Volatile Organic Compounds). Något som branschen bör ta hänsyn till, anser forskare.

Outdoor air quality funding fell by 20%
Funding for outdoor air quality action dropped from $4.7 billion in 2022 to $3.7 billion in 2023. From 2019 to 2023, air quality projects made up just 1% of total international development funding.

Air quality in Uusimaa
In addition to the Helsinki metropolitan area, we also monitor the air quality elsewhere in Uusimaa. The air quality in Uusimaa is usually good for the most part. In some places, the air quality is reduced by emissions from traffic and wood burning.

The dataset shows that in 2017, European agriculture released 3.5 million tons of ammonia, mostly from cattle, swine, wheat, maize, and grasslands.
By tying pollution to specific products and regions, the dataset gives policymakers a clearer picture of how food production drives nitrogen pollution and its effects on health and biodiversity.
