In Kallinge, residents affected by PFAS contamination in their drinking water from firefighting foam used at the F17 airbase are facing a compensation standoff.

Despite the Supreme Court ruling that high levels of PFAS in the body can warrant compensation for contaminated drinking water, the Swedish Armed Forces have rejected claims for damages.

Ronneby's water company, which has received several hundred lawsuits from the community, is now considering legal actions against the Armed Forces for refusing to pay compensation.

The water company's CEO, Joakim Mårtensson, has expressed intentions to respond to the Armed Forces and is exploring legal measures.

This legal dispute highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Kallinge residents seeking justice for PFAS pollution.
