	Lapland Forest Damage Project: Conclusions
		Since high concentrations of sulphur dioxide in the Inari region of Lapland occur during the growing season as well, the accumulation of sulphur dioxide can be assumed to have a major role in the region's overall pollution load.
		Lapland's high, at maximum 100- 150 µg/m3, concentrations of ozone (levels which have demonstrably caused damage to vegetation in experimental conditions) are not caused by pollutant emissions from the Kola Peninsula.
		The vitality of the forests in Finnish Lapland is subject to variation: the needle-loss symptom of the late 1980s has receded, but the weather conditions of the early 1990s suggest that the Scleroderris canker fungus cause increasing damage in the near future.
