How to assess risk of harmful chemicals in our water? An interview with Professor Karin Wiberg
Access to water is essential for all life. For good health and a healthy environment, clean water is fundamental, but unfortunately, we find unwanted chemical substances in rivers, lakes, and even tap water. Professor Karin Wiberg has spent many years deepening our understanding of chemicals in the environment. Together with colleagues, Wiberg is now leading a workshop at Uppsala Health Summit 2023 to raise awareness of the problem and to work together to reduce the presence of harmful chemicals in the environment.
