Erik Lindeman, MD, is a specialist in Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine and a senior consultant at the Swedish Poisons Information Center. He has more than 15 years of experience in clinical toxicology, with special interests in intoxications following recreational drug abuse, and in management of hemodynamic and metabolic consequences of poisoning. His work involves extensive collaboration with clinical services and clinical and forensic laboratories, both in daily practice and in ongoing research. He teaches medical personnel on weekly basis across a range of toxicological and emergency medicine topics. He is also engaged in chemical preparedness and is a certified trainer at the Swedish AHLS (HazMat) course.

Margareta’s research focuses on reactive chemicals and metabolites, which are short-lived in vivo, and which could be genotoxic/carcinogenic and sometimes neurotoxic etc. Crucial have been development of analytical methods to measure internal doses, and of models how to use internal doses for cancer risk assessment. The methods have been used experimentally and in human studies to detect and quantify chemical exposure and metabolism, and to assess health risks. Applications have concerned occupational exposures and studies of exposure from the general environment, as urban air, diet or endogenous formation. Recent research involves measurement of prenatal exposure to acrylamide from diet and collaborative studies of, for instance, association to foetal growth restriction. Margareta is professor emerita of environmental chemistry at Dept. of Environmental science, SU. She has been member in many committees/boards, as SFT, and is member of IVA.

Mattias Öberg is Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in Toxicology at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet. His work focuses on chemical risk assessment and environmental contaminants. He has been involved in investigations and subsequent legal processes related to contaminated drinking water incidents, and his research has also examined the occurrence of chemical accidents in workplaces. Dr. Öberg serves as expert coordinator at the Karolinska Institutet Center for Health Crises and is the responsible toxicologist for AHLS (Advanced Hazmat Life Support) in Sweden, a specialist training program on the medical management of chemical incidents. Within the toxicology community, he is Chair of the Swedish ERT-Committee and national expert in the Nordic Expert Group for Occupational Exposure Limits. He is also an award winning podcast producer and an author writing about the societal dimensions of environmental contamination (Ingen anledning till oro, Volante förlag 2025).

Axel Andersson is a medical doctor who has recently defended his thesis in occupational and environmental medicine, with a particular focus on PFAS. His thesis is based on research in Ronneby, where the population consumed PFAS-contaminated drinking water for a long time. The sub-themes in the thesis study the excretion of PFAS chemicals and the impact on adults' COVID-19 vaccination response in Ronneby. The presentation at the SFT spring meeting concerns the third sub-theme in the thesis – “PFAS elimination can be accelerated through the use of bile acid sequestrants - health benefits remain unknown”.

Professor Joachim Sturve is an ecotoxicologist at the University of Gothenburg. His research focuses on fish toxicology and the development of biomarkers for environmental monitoring, utilising both field and cell-based laboratory studies. He has actively contributed to Swedish national monitoring efforts for over two decades and participates in international working groups addressing the effects of contaminants in the environment.

Johan Lundqvist is Professor of Toxicology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, where he is the principle investigator of a research group working with the development and application of new cell-based assays as tools to monitor hazardous chemicals in the environment. He is also one of the founders of BioCell Analytica, a spin-out company providing effect-based testing services to the water sector.
