Legacy PFAS contamination poses significant challenges for operational chemical plants and those undergoing decommissioning or shutdown, with potential long-term environmental liabilities and barriers to future site redevelopment. Keith Davison, Partner at Irwin Mitchell, will outline the regulatory obligations and challenges associated with managing PFAS contamination. Dr Sam Hall will follow with insights into PFAS permitting, planning and remediation considerations. The event aims to provide a clear understanding of how to address PFAS risks and ensure compliance during ongoing operations, site disposal, site closure or future redevelopment.
