This year there may be a shortage of chemicals that clean the emissions from sewage.

It can affect the water we bathe in, TT reports.

The reason is that several factories that produce the chemicals have closed as a result of the economic situation and high energy prices.

One such chemical is hydrochloric acid, which cleans the water before it becomes drinking water or before we can bathe in it.

– We know that a lack of cleaning chemicals results in impaired water treatment, which in the long run can make the water unusable, says Klara Westling, expert on sewage and the environment at the industry organization Swedish Water.
