Some representatives from Kemakta have participated in Renare Mark's annual spring meeting, which this time took place in Karlstad on 13–14 March. This year's spring meeting offered many interesting presentations under the main theme of the meeting "obstacles and opportunities in contaminated areas". Kemakta participated...
Obtaining a representative level of the contamination level in the soil is crucial for correct assessments to be made regarding risks associated with the contamination and how any future action can be followed up. Uncertainties exist along the entire chain – from sampling to the...
Within the contaminated sites industry, sustainable remediation methods are increasingly being discussed. This is something that our colleague Astrid has highlighted in her recently published thesis. The work deals with the environmental impact of different remediation methods, where she has focused on the most common...
Kristina Jansson, Kemakta and Kristoffer Hagvall, Ramböll, present the benefits of collaboration and a holistic approach in the urban development project Librobäck in Uppsala at the NICOLE & Renare Mark Joint Fall Workshop in Malmö, Sweden....
Karin Norrfors presented Kemakta's work on dose consequences of radionuclides in soil to a record number of enthusiastic listeners at the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority's 11th decommissioning seminar. The SSM report "Radiation dose consequences in the clearance of land areas contaminated with radioactive substances" reports...
Kemakta Konsult is currently working on an environmental land survey that includes sampling of soil and groundwater in an area in Hornsberg, Stockholm, that was previously the site of a bus depot. The purpose of the sampling is, among other things, to enable an assessment...
On behalf of SSM, Kemakta has written the report "Radiation dose consequences of clearance of land areas contaminated with radioactive substances". The report should be used to assess the risks from radionuclides in land areas. The report has been published on SSM's website. https://www.stralsakerhetsmyndigheten.se/publikationer/?q=2023%3A8...
Astrid is soon to complete her Master of Science in Environmental and Water Engineering at Uppsala University and SLU. Alongside her position at Kemakta, she is writing her thesis on the environmental impact of remediation methods. Astrid will strengthen Kemakta's team in the areas of...
15-18 september fick vi ordentlig användning av våra regnkläder på vår konferensresa till Höga kusten! Under några dagar diskuterade vi konsultrollen och fick testa på allt från paddling och mountainbike på Hemsön, till lokal mat och dryck från Västernorrland. Nu ser vi fram emot att ta...
Riktvärden för förorenad mark och grundvatten styrs ofta av risken för att förorening sprids från området och förorenar skyddsobjekt i omgivningen, brunnar, ytvatten eller våtmarker. Många modeller, exempelvis Naturvårdsverkets riktvärdesmodell, är statiska och antar att halten förorenande ämnen i jorden är konstant även när lakning av...
