Nya studier från Lunds universitet visar att miljöföroreningen med PFAS i Ronneby, sannolikt startade tidigare än man trott. Med hjälp av blod från Sveriges PKU-biobank* har forskare hittat förhöjda PFAS-nivåer hos barn födda 1985, vars mammor bodde i området före sin graviditet. De nya forskningsresultaten tyder därför på att föroreningen startade före 1985. Ny forskning från Lunds universitet in
