Albysjön (Tyresö)
lake in Tyresö municipality, Sweden
Albysjön (Swedish for "Lake of Alby") is a lake in Tyresö Municipality just south of Stockholm in Sweden.
Albysjön is the last lake in the Tyresån Lake System. Surrounded by green spaces and pastures, it is popular for bathing, angling, canoeing, and other open-air activities. Motor engines are prohibited.
Environmental status
Levels of phosphorus and nitrogen are very high. High amounts of phosphorus compounds causes dense reed growth in the shallow bays of the lake. The reed was mechanically removed in 1975, but no follow-up action has taken place since. Lack of oxygen and hydrogen sulfide formation in sediments is a problem in summers. A brook causes high levels of lead and copper in Uddsbyviken, one of the northern bays. Samples taken in 1989 showed pollution is 10-20 times higher in the brook than normal levels for such water courses, which is however not unusual in and around Stockholm.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Albysjön (Tyresö)”, the useful work is to connect “lake in Tyresö municipality, Sweden” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1193471. The first chronological checks are 1975 and 1989.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
