| description | This master thesis encompasses an inventory of the older industrial community of Gimo.
Investigations of the contamination situation for each industrial area were done. A risk
classification according to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's "Method of
Surveying Contaminated Sites", phase one, followed. The risk classification was done on
areas of Iron Work, a rockwool industry and a landfill.
Gimo have had iron manufacturing from 1615 until 1945. Gimo have had two blast-furnaces
and two smithies periodically. The youngest smithy was placed close to the big dam of Gimo
and the blast-furnace stood where Sandvik Coromant has its car park today. The two areas
have been risk classified as one unit. In order to investigate the status of contamination at the site a minor field survey was done. Samples of residues, waste, from the blast-furnace and the clay, underneath the waste layer, were sent for analysis of their metal content. The blastfurnace waste had very low content of arsenic, cadmium, chrome, cobalt, cupper, lead, mercury, nickel, vanadium and zinc. The amount of arsenic in the clay was moderate. Leaching tests were done on the blast-furnace residues and a very small amount of hazardous metals were leached out. These areas were classified in risk class 3, moderate risk for human health and the environment. No further surveys are therefore necessary.
Rockwool was based in Gimo during the years 1954-1991. Presumably the industrial area
contains phenols, formaldehyde, and solution of formaldehyde and ammonia and fuel oil from
an oil discharge in 1979. A remediation of the site was done to moderate levels of fuel oil in the soil at the time of the factory closure. This oil discharge might have caused very serious levels of oil in the sediments of a river situated downstream. This industrial area has been given a risk class 2, large risk for human health and the environment. Further investigations at the site are necessary, especially before future constructions.
Rockwools largest landfill is situated in the northern shore of Gimo dam. The landfill contains rockwool residues, primarily consisting of iron, and presumably the chemicals that were used in the factory including lubricating oil. The landfill borders very sensitive ecosystems with high protection values and have thereby been classified in the risk class 2, large risk. Further assessments of leaching of contaminants from the landfill are therefore necessary. |

Föroreningssituationen utreddes för respektive område och därefter riskklassades objekten enligt Naturvårdsverkets Metodik för Inventering av Förorenade Områden (MIFO) fas 1. Riskklassningen gjordes på de områden där järnbruksverksamheter tidigare har bedrivits, ett mineralullsindustriområde och en deponi. Järnbruk har bedrivits i Gimo från 1615 till 1945. Bruket hade periodvis två masugnar och två smedjor där tackjärn respektive stångjärn producerades. Det område där hammarsmedjan tidigare stått intill Gimo damm och där de yngsta masugnarna stått, som idag är Sandvik Coromants parkering, riskklassades som ett objekt. För att utreda föroreningssituationen utfördes en mindre provtagning av masugnsslagg och den underliggande leran. Slaggen hade låga halter av metallerna arsenik, bly, kadmium, kobolt, krom, koppar, kvicksilver, nickel, vanadin och zink. Arsenik fanns i måttligt allvarlig halt i leran. Laktester på slaggen visade att utlakningshalterna av metaller var mycket låga. Järnbruksområdena tilldelades riskklass 3, måttligt risk. Bedömningen har gjorts att det i nuläget inte är angeläget med vidare undersökningar. En mineralullsindustri, Rockwool, fanns i Gimo under åren 1954 till 1991. Området antas innehålla föroreningar i form av fenol och formaldehyd och vattenlösning av formalinformaldehyd och ammoniak samt eldningsolja från ett utsläpp av 130 m3 lätt eldningsolja från 1979. En sanering av oljan till måttligt allvarliga halter gjordes i samband med nedläggningen av fabriken. Läckaget kan ha bidragit till mycket allvarliga oljehalter i sedimenten i en å inom påverkansområdet. Området har tilldelats riskklass 2, vilket betyder att en det är angeläget att utföra undersökningar av spridnings- och föroreningssituationen. Rockwools största deponi ligger i norra delen av Gimo damm. Den innehåller mineralullsrester och slagg, främst innehållande järn. De kemikalier som antas finnas på deponin är främst fenol och formaldehyd från bindemedlet och eventuellt petroleumprodukter som smörjolja. Deponin har på grund av sin ogynnsamma lokalisering i anslutning till ekosystem med mycket höga naturvärden tilldelats riskklass 2, stor risk. Det bedöms därmed vara angeläget med vidare undersökningar av föroreningssituationen på området. 2006-02-28 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/11880/1/bostrom_h_171013.pdf Boström, Helene, 2006.
