Kostråd för egenfångad fisk i Uppsala på grund av PFAS

Rapporterad av AI

Uppsala kommun har utfärdat kostråd för egenfångad fisk i vissa vattendrag på grund av höga halter av PFAS. Miljö- och hälsoskyddsnämnden rekommenderar begränsad konsumtion för att skydda hälsan. Råden baseras på provtagningar från 2023 och 2025.

Miljö- och hälsoskyddsnämnden i Uppsala kommun har beslutat om kostråd för egenfångad fisk efter studier som visar förhöjda halter av PFAS, främst PFOS, i fisk från specifika områden. PFAS-ämnen kan vara skadliga för hälsan vid hög konsumtion.

Kostråden gäller för alla fiskarter i följande vattendrag inom kommunen: Fyrisån mellan Ärna och Flottsund, nordvästra Ekoln/Mälaren samt Sävjaån/Funboån. Beslutet träder i kraft tills annat meddelas.

Rekommendationerna är framtagna i samverkan med Livsmedelsverket. Barn och ungdomar upp till 18 år, gravida, ammande kvinnor och de som planerar graviditet bör inte äta fisken mer än 2–3 gånger per år. Övriga personer rekommenderas att begränsa sig till högst en gång per månad.

Miljöförvaltningen genomförde provtagningarna under 2023 och 2025 enligt Naturvårdsverkets handledning för att kartlägga PFAS-halter i fisken. Mer information om PFAS i livsmedel finns på Livsmedelsverkets webbplats.

Researchers at Flinders University say they have developed an adsorbent material that removed more than 98% of short- and long-chain PFAS—including hard-to-capture short-chain variants—in laboratory flow-through tests using model tap water. The approach embeds nano-sized molecular cages into mesoporous silica and, in the experiments reported, could be regenerated while remaining effective over at least five reuse cycles.

Fish-based pet foods expose cats and dogs to high PFAS levels

A study of commercial pet foods in Japan has found elevated levels of forever chemicals, known as PFAS, particularly in fish-based products for cats and dogs. These levels often exceed human safety thresholds set by European regulators. Researchers urge better monitoring to assess risks to companion animals.

The South Korean government established a joint task force with local industry officials on Wednesday to respond to the European Union's plan to phase out per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The EU plans to publish a draft opinion on PFAS restrictions later this month, aiming for universal adoption by 2027.

Warming waters increase invasive pike's fish consumption in Alaska

Rising temperatures in an Alaska river are causing invasive northern pike to eat more fish, threatening already declining salmon populations. Researchers from the University of Alaska Fairbanks analyzed pike stomach contents and found significant increases in consumption, especially among younger fish. The findings raise concerns about combined effects of climate change and invasive species.

Antibiotics accumulate in Brazilian river and fish during dry season

Researchers have detected multiple antibiotics in Brazil's Piracicaba River, accumulating in water, sediment, and fish, especially in the dry season. A banned drug, chloramphenicol, was found in lambari fish sold for consumption. Experiments with the aquatic plant Salvinia auriculata showed it can remove some antibiotics but may alter fish exposure.
