Sofia Johnsson defended her thesis at Umeå University, Chemistry on April 17th. The opponent was Tuula Tuhkanen, Professor at the Institute of Environmental Engineering and biotechnology. Tampere University of Technology, Finland. A vast number of sites that have been contaminated by industrial activities have been identified worldwide. Many such sites now pose serious risks to humans and the environment. Given the large number of contaminated sites there is a great need for efficient, cost-effective remediation methods.

 Researchers from MCN Umeå University and consultants from Sweco, Tyréns, and MoRe Research are starting a R&D project to develop remediation strategies and methodologies to handle the specific problems at active industrial sites. The project will be based on field experiments at the Domsjö industry site in Örnsköldsvik. The project which will run during 2009 - 2011, is sponsored jointly by the Kempe foundation and Holmen AB with additional support from Umeå University, Sweco, and Tyréns.

 MCN Director, Professor Mats Tysklind gave a talk in Sundsvall and pointed to the huge number, now up to 12000 in the highest risk classes, of identified contaminated sites in Sweden, and the unreasonably huge cost the society will face to remediate these based on similar criteria for risk reduction and technologies as has been applied up till now
