Managing PFAS at Airports and Firefighting Facilities Virtual Conference - 22nd March

About this event

Overcoming the legislative, political and scientific changes and challenges that lie ahead

With growing awareness of the potential harmful effects of PFAS, these chemicals are attracting global media and political attention. As a result, the UK is set to follow Australia and other parts of the world by updating and tightening PFAS legislation and policy.

As the spotlight intensifies, we’re bringing together regulators, industry leading experts and project experience to deliver an insightful virtual conference on managing PFAS and the implications and challenges of evolving science, legislation and public opinion.

Our interactive virtual conference will cover:

  • A review of the current and evolving situation, including updates from the Environment Agency and DEFRA, the legal perspective and potential liabilities
  • Challenges for operational sites, including compliance, foam replacement and potential impacts on environmental insurance
  • Managing soil and groundwater contamination: understanding the conceptual site model for PFAS contamination, a review of emerging remedial techniques and best practice for community engagement
  • A case study from Guernsey Airport

We will also be running interactive panel sessions throughout the webinar, where you can ask questions and engage with our speakers.

You can find a more detailed overview of our conference and learn more about industry experts here.
