DUE TO THFIR ECONOMIC SITUATION. NORMALLY, A FACTORY WILL EITHER BE FORCED TO CLOSE OP IT WILL
MANAGE TO BARGAIN WITH THE AUTHORITIFS. A SOLUTION WHICH ALMOST ALWAYS RESULTS IN ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION. ALTHOUGH THE SITUATION SOMETIMES MAY LOOK DIM ON THE LOCAL LEVEL, IT IS FAVORABLE
NATIONWIDE WHERE IT CAN BE NOTED THAT ENVIRONMFNTAL DEMANDS HAVE HELPED INCREASE EMPLOYMENT. MORE
COOPERATION BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL REPRESENTATIVES AND INDUSTRY AND LABOP UNIONS WAS URGED.

CONSIDER A PROPOSAL WHICH IS PRESENTLY PENDING IN THE EC WHICH WOULD MAKE PRODUCERS RESPONSIBLE

MERCURY AND MERCURY COMPOUNDS DEPOSITED ON DUMPS MAY EVENTUALLY SEEP INTO GROUND AND SURFACE

A PROPOSAL FOR A NEW WATER CODE WILL BE READY FOR CONSIDERATION SOMETIME DURING THE WINTER OF
1977. THE PRESENT WATEP CODE. WHICH DATES BACK TO 1918. IS PARTIAL TO THE COUNTRY'S POWER PLANTS.
QcrppoTS THIS ARTICLE. ACCORDING TO THE NEW PROPOSAL. STIPULATIONS WILL BE THE SAME FOR ALL WATER
PROJECTS WHETHER THEY CONCERN POWER PLANT CONSTRUCTION, EMBANKMENTS. OR DRAINAGE. ENVIRONMENTAL
VALUES AND GFNEPAL INTERESTS WILL ALSO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. THE NEW CODE WOULD ALSO
FACILITATE APPEALS. IF AN OLD POWER PLANT DECISION WERE REPEALED. THUS CAUSING SEVERE ECONOMIC
IMPEDIMENTS. ASSISTANCE WOULD BE PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT. DECISIONS HANDED DOWN IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE 1919 CODE WOULD HAVE TO BE AT LEAST TEN YEARS OLD. HOWEVER. BEFORE THEY COULD BE APPEALED.

RAPID EXPANSION OF SEWAGE PURIFICATION PLANTS AND REGULATIONS DEMANDING MORE EFFECTIVE
PURIFICATION HAVE INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF SEPARATED SLUDGE IN SWEDEN DURING THE LAST DECADE. ON
OCTOBER 4, 1975, THE NATIONAL SOCIAL WELFARE BOARD AND THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION BOARD
WERE INSTRUCTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE GUIDELINES ON THE HANDLING OF SLUDGE FROM SEWAGE
PURIFICATION PLANTS. THIS BOOKLET CONSISTS OF THE BACKGROUND MATERIAL COLLECTED IN THIS EFFORT.
IT AIMS TO GIVE CONCISE INFORMATION ON SLUDGE AND RELATED PROBLEMS AND TO INFORM ON METHODS FOR
FINAL HANDLING OF SLUDGE. STATUTORY REGULATIONS ARE DISCUSSED. THE QUALITY OF SLUDGE IS SURVEYED.
AND METHODS TO LIMIT OR REMOVE RISKS INVOLVED IN THE HANDLING OF SLUDGE ARE PRESENTED. THE
ACCOUNT IS BASED ON CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS ON ALREADY ESTABLISHED PRACTICES IN THIS FIELD.
ADVICE AND GUIDELINES WILL BE PUBLISHED AT A LATER DATE.

THIS REPORT, ONE OF A SERIES PUBLISHED ANNUALLY SINCE 1971. INDICATES THAT METHODS OF SEWAGE
PURIFICATION IN DENSELY POPULATED AREAS IN SWEDEN CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. IN 1975. NEW OR UPDATED
EXISTING SEKAGf PLANTS, OF WHICH THE MAJORITY ARE BIOLOGICAL-CHEMICAL, SERVED AN ADDITIONAL HALF A
MILLION PFOPLr. SIX PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE IN DENSELY POPULATED AREAS STILL HAD NO SEWAGE PLANTS OP
ONLY PLANTS WITH SLUDGE SEPARATORS AT THEIR DISPOSAL. TABLES SHOW: THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEWAGE
PLANTS DURING 1965-75: THE DISTRIBUTION OF VARIOUS SEWAGE PURIFICATION METHODS; NUMBER OF DENSELY
POPULATED AREAS WITH VARIOUS KINDS OF SEWAGE PLANTS; NUMBER OF SEWAGE PLANTS OF VARIOUS KINDS IN
SACH COUNTY; PRECIPITATION AGENTS AT CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL-CHEMICAL PLANTS; SEWAGE PLANTS WITH
FINAL FILTERING; AND REVIEW OF SEWAGE PLANTS WHOSE EMISSIONS WERE TESTED ACCORDING TO THE
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION ACT. POLLUTION LOAD ON SWEDISH WATERCOURSES AND COASTAL WATERS AND
GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES TO MUNICIPAL SEWAGE PLANTS ARE ALSO DISCUSSED.

THE SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT ON SEWAGE PURIFICATION IN DENSELY POPULATED AREAS IS BASED ON
INFORMATION FROM COUNTY ADMINISTRATIONS'. AS OF JANUARY 1, 1976. 95 PERCENT OF THE SEWAGE PLANTS IN
THESE AREAS FULFILLED THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS STATED IN THF ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION ACT.
62 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IN THESE AREAS HAD SOME FORM OF CHEMICAL PURIFICATION. 32 PERCENT
TREATED SEWAGE THROUGH BIOLOGICAL PURIFICATION. S PERCENT EMPLOYED SLUDGE SEPARATION, AND 0.3
PERCENT HAD NO PUP IFICATION AT ALL. THE REPORT ALSO STATES THAT ALTHOUGH PROGRESS HAD BEEN MADE,
INADEQUATE CONDITIONS STILL PREVAILED IN SOME APEAS ON THE WEST COAST AND ON THE COAST OF
NORRLAND. SEVERAL CHARTS AND TABLES ARE APPENDED.

SINCE 1954, THE USE OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS HAS DOUBLED EVERY TEN YEARS IN SWEDEN. THIS
ARTICLE POINTS OUT SOME OF THE HAZARDS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT AND SUGGESTS WAYS TO RECTIFY THE
SITUATION. THE FOLLOWING MEASURES ARE SUGGESTED TO DECREASE POLLUTION FROM AGRICULTURE WITHOUT
NEGATIVELY AFFECTING ITS PRODUCTIVITY: INCREASED USE OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SOILS TO HELP THF
INCIVIOUAL FAPMER APPLY THE OPTIMUM AMOUNT OF FERTILIZER; CORRECT HANDLING AND USE OF MANURE;
CONTOUR PLOWING ON SLOPES AS A METHOD TO DECREASE RUNOFF, THUS CONTROLLING BOTH POLLUTION AND
EROSION; AND SPECIAL ATTENTION TO FERTILIZER APPLICATION ON LIGHT, SANDY SOILS WITH REGARD TO
TIMING. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, AND AMOUNTS TO PROTECT THE GROUNDWATER. THE INTRODUCTION OF AN
ENVIRONMENTAL TAX ON FERTILIZERS IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE ECONOMICALLY OPTIMAL AMOUNTS HAS ALSO BFEN
MENTIONED, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO PRESENT PLANS FOR SUCH A TAX. IT IS, HOWEVER, POINTED OUT THAT
FERTILIZERS ALONE ARE NOT TO BLAME. THE SWEDISH CLIMATE ALSO AFFECTS THE SITUATION NEGATIVELY.

SEVEN STOCKS HAVE BEEN ERADICATED BY ACIDIFICATION DURING THE LAST DECADES. AND MANY OF THE LAKES
HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH LIME TO.SAVE OR RESTORE THE1P STOCKS OF ARCTIC CHAR. THE LAKES. WHICH ARE
