The library premises have been closed pending further investigation and sampling, according to multiple reports. The library is undergoing renovation, and contractors are in the building for inspections and sampling. The storage area has been completely closed as a precaution.
According to Eskilstuna-Kuriren, Helena Hellström, the library director, said it is not yet possible to speculate on what measures may be taken if the leak is confirmed. The cause of the suspected leak remains unknown, and it is unclear when test results will be available or how long the library will be closed. It is also not known which specific areas are affected or whether any staff or visitors were exposed.
What measures we may have to take if it turns out to be an asbestos leak is not possible to speculate on yet.
