Due to their extensive use, humans and animals all over the world are continuously exposed to PFAS, says Håkon Austad Langberg, a PhD candidate at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) who has studied several of them in the last few years.
Norwegian Rescuers Find More Bodies From Landslide Site Near Oslo Bloomberg 1/2/2021 Stephen Treloar
(Bloomberg) Norwegian rescuers have now recovered four bodies at a village not far from the nation’s capital hit by a landslide on Wednesday, with 6 people still missing.
The latest three discoveries were made in the same area at a building about 100 meters into the site, Knut Hammer, head of the police operation, told reporters late on Saturday. Rescuers are still searching at full capacity for survivors under difficult conditions.
The quick-clay slide happened about 20 kilometers north of Oslo and follows a month of record rainfall. About 1,000 people were evacuated from the area after the landslide devastated large parts of the village.
