The purpose of the study is to assess whether the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Defence have made a satisfactory effort to remediate PFAS contamination in the years 2007 to 2021.
- Has the effort made by the Ministry of Environment to check for PFAS and the effort made by the Ministry of Defence to limit the use and discharge of PFAS been satisfactory?
- Has the effort made by the Ministry of Environment to monitor PFAS and the effort made by the Ministry of Defence to manage PFAS pollution been satisfactory?
It is Rigsrevisionen’s assessment that the effort made by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Defence to remediate PFAS contamination has been very unsatisfactory in the years 2007 to 2021. In several areas, the effort made by the ministries has been slow and ineffective, and, as a result, the environment and people’s health may have been exposed to unnecessary risk.
Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in June 2022.
