Environmental monitoring at the Värö Bruk paper mill

Last changed: 20 February 2025

At Värö Bruk, we monitor the biological effects of the mill's discharges into the water. Our focus is on studies of the fish populations.

Our monitoring at the Värö bruk paper mill - this is what we do

  • We survey the fish populations in the area with bottom trawls, both within the affected area as well as in the unaffected reference area. Five locations in each area are studied on five occasions, over a three-week period in September.
  • We carry out video documentation to assess the environmental condition at the wastewater discharge tube.
  • We collect and count eel fry that migrate in the Viskan River.

We summarize the results of our monitoring in annual reports. You can find the annual reports via SLU's publication database.
