PFAS Contamination & Legal Accountability

April 8, 2025

Björn Gullefors will talk about the legal process regarding the Armed Forces' liability under the Environmental Code for having contaminated Uppsala's groundwater with PFAS.

Questions about science and new technical means of evidence (chemical fingerprinting) have been at the forefront of the case. Not least the difficulty of making complex scientific processes understandable to a court.

The case has been tried in two instances in Sweden and now a decision is awaited on whether the Supreme Court will accept the Armed Forces' appeal (prövningstillstånd).
