Arsenic, or arsenic compounds, are not permitted to be added to the product. Contamination of used raw materials is not permitted to exceed 10 mg/kg. The
concentration limit is set based on regulatory requirements for soil quality to ensure that accepted products do not raise background concentrations
through their use or disposal (for example; sludge from sewage treatment works Swedish Ordinance 1998:944, Section 20). The same concentration limits
are found in the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s general guidelines for less sensitive land use (MKM).
