Tourist cottages in the Arctic: Possibilities of wastewater treatment
Det er nødvendigt at forbedre den sanitære situation i hytterne omkring Sisimiut og på vandreruten mellem Sisimiut og Kangerlussuaq. I dag er der toiletter i 7 ud af i alt 27 hytter i området. Manglende og dårlige toiletforhold gør at dagens situation ikke er acceptabel ud fra moderne krav til sundh...
