Final Report: Less Toxic Chemicals in Building Materials
The Environmental Administration proposes approving the final report for the NonHazCity3 project, where Stockholm collaborated with Baltic Sea partners to reduce hazardous chemicals in building materials. This project enhanced understanding of chemical dispersion, the importance of life cycle perspectives, and how municipalities can use their procurement power to avoid dangerous substances. Key outcomes include a catalog for non-toxic building materials and studies on PFAS and phthalate spread in indoor dust and stormwater, demonstrating the effectiveness of regulations while highlighting persistent issues with PVC flooring and treated surfaces.
