| Tiivistelmä: | Regardless of phase-out policies, regulations, planning, and systematic thinking, diffuse emissions of hazardous substances from goods and materials congregate in society. This is most evident in urban areas, as such emissions are related to high densities of people, services, and goods. This study aims to discuss the utility of substance flow analyses (SFAs) for the urban management of hazardous substances. Several SFAs in Stockholm have been conducted between 19952007. Selected case studies related to utility aspects were used to discover specific factors involved in the application of SFA. It can be stated that the SFAs results have been implemented in various local environmental objectives. Citations and use of the SFAs show that the studies, focusing on diffuse emissions, have affected local policy strongly. The application of SFA in Stockholm shows that methodology factors, type of information, local context, and method of communication may be important in the policy utilization of SFA. In the implementation of the results of Stockholm studies, it has been useful to have both the environmental monitoring, which indicates the existence of hazardous substances, and SFAs that map and monitor emission sources. |
