    The report consists of three parts

    At the airports, a total of 59 locations were investigated for PFAS, and most of the surveys are related to active and closed-down fire training areas. 

    Harstad/Narvik, Kristiansand, Oslo, and Svalbard are not included in the order as there are ongoing separate processes with the environmental authorities regarding these.
