This KIMO Sweden report examines PFAS in the marine environment and how municipalities can address the issue through their own responsibilities and activities. It provides background on PFAS, describes pathways into the environment and summarises knowledge about their occurrence and environmental impacts. The report also considers the regulatory framework and presents examples of measures implemented by municipalities in Sweden and elsewhere. A particular focus is placed on opportunities for local authorities to reduce the use and release of PFAS while also managing existing contamination. The document is intended as a practical knowledge resource for municipal environmental management and chemical-pollution prevention.
