In regards to air quality in Stockholm :
Stockholm air dirtier than Los Angeles: WHO - The Local

There have been more recent stats for Stockholm’s air quality, bandied about on the internet, which paint a rosier picture – but these seem to be compiled by local kommuns like Gothenburg and Stockholm (in other words, the very people with a vested interest in producing good readings) rather than a more independent body like the IVL Research Institute.
It amused me, a year or two back, when a Swedish paper reported that a fault in a sewage treatment plant might bring a distinctive whiff to Stockholm – on Princess Madeleine’s wedding day!
It didn’t happen – but would have brought a ripe new dimension to air quality

I really appreciate this info, I wasn't aware of such problems. I've actually only heard good stuff about Sweden, which is why I liked the country.
