In popular culture[edit]

An important part of the Sjöwall and Wahlöö novel Cop Killer (Polismördaren) is fictitiously situated in Anderslöv.

In 2012, Johan Pettersson earned the Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering why residents of some new houses in Anderslöv saw their hair turn green. He found that hot water left in pipes overnight peeled copper from them, leading to very high copper levels in the water.[3][4]
