Experts suggest routes to cleaner Baltic Sea
Sweden should make immediate efforts to remove phosphorus from detergents and point sources to counter eutrophication of the Baltic Sea, a panel of international experts has recommended. In a report for the Swedish environmental protection agency, the panel says that in the longer term actions will have to switch to diffuse sources and restoring nutrient-holding features of the landscape. Sweden should consider funding phosphorus reduction at significant point sources in other Baltic states, the experts also suggest. No eutrophication is a key official goal of Swedish environmental policy. Further details can be seen at: www.naturvardsverket.se/dokument/fororen/overgod/eutro/expeutro.pdf/
