In 2022, there were 42 exceedances of the permitted daily average on Hamngatan. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is forcing Linköping Municipality to develop an action plan to improve air quality.
Right now, the municipality is testing various measures, including a vacuum suction. The machine has a particulate filter that prevents road dust that occurs during street cleaning from ending up in the air. The municipality is already testing various solutions to improve quality. The action plan is being developed, but there are currently no plans to implement any new measures.
