An introduction to PFAS and emerging challenges

Have you heard of PFAS (per- and poly fluorinated alkyl substances)? Has PFAS already affected your operations? Do you feel well enough informed about PFAS?

Join SLR’s specialists on the 24th January 2024 at 12pm for a discussion on the emerging challenges faced by COMAH regulated facilities and Environmental Permit Installations due to sources of PFAS in firefighting systems.

PFAS is a group of man-made chemicals that are impacting on communities, water resources and the environment on a global scale. They are posing financial, legal, and reputational challenges for many industries due to their persistent, mobile, and toxic characteristics.

SLR’s technical specialists are committed to global knowledge sharing and remaining at the forefront of developments in the scientific understanding of PFAS and viable solutions to their operational, environmental, and social impacts. SLR is contributing to PFAS research and development and raising of standards across the industry. In addition, we are supporting our clients to identify the presence of PFAS and PFAS related products in their supply chains and supporting them on their transition to fluorine-free alternatives.
