Teckomatorp (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈtɛ̂kːɔmaˌtɔrp])[2] is a locality situated in Svalöv Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 1,651 inhabitants in 2010.

During the 1970s, the inhabitants of Teckomatorp started complaining of an acrid odour from the plant that made people ill.

It was also said that BT Kemi had buried barrels of toxic waste in the ground.

[3] The government took steps to investigate the issue only after a former employee of BT Kemi told a newspaper that the company was entering forged values within allowed limits into its emission journals.

When the authorities finally started to dig, several hundreds of barrels with toxic contents were found.
