PROJEKT KALKNING – KVICKSILVER – CESIUM – en sammanfattning av projektet i Örebro län / PROJECT LIMING – MERCURY – CESIUM – a summary of the project in the Örebro county, Sweden
This project is a summary of the work carried out within the project Liming – Mercury – Cesium in the Örebro county. The basic question is: How is it possible to reduce the mercury and cesium content in fish and the threat of ”blacklisting” presently acute for about ten thousand Swedish lakes? What measures could be taken? The aim of the project has been to make systematic studies and to test various possible remedial measures and combinations of remedies, like liming of lakes, of wetlands and of entire drainage areas, fertilization with commercial fertilizers and with nutrients from fish cage farms, intensive fishing and adding of selenium to the lakes. The goal is to present practical recommendations to regional and local agencies on suitable methods to reduce the mercury content in fish. The lakes discussed in this report are not studied for cesium. “Complete abstract not presented.”
