You may be the worst culprit – Aftonbladet

You may be the worst culprit – Aftonbladet

Stockholm. It is no longer the industry which is the principal culprit. Households with his unsuspecting handling hazardous dust, is today an increasing risk to the environment.

Do you take a damp cloth and wipe everything from tables and windowsills to television, stereo and computer before you vacuum ? Do not do it if you have the habit afterwards rinse the cloth under the kitchen faucet. It is the behavior that gets us home to wear dumstruten in the environmental context.

– dust from windowsills, electronics and it collected under the bed should not be out of the drain, it will be burned. Bread crumbs and water at the sink can contrast rinse, says Kristina Svinhufvud, head of the upstream section of Käppala, which purifies the water in Stockholm several municipalities.

But the bigger polluters than industry. .

– It would actually be able to say. The load from the industrial to the treatment plants has decreased very significantly over the last 30 years. We see that households account for a larger share, and it is mainly due to all the new chemicals coming onto the market. Very end up in the dust and then drain. One must of course keep clean at home, but first you dust dry and then wet hurricane, says Kristina Svinhufvud.
