This Toolbox Talk will explore what practice is "good" practice and why any claims of or requirements for "best" practice should be resisted. Technical guidance, and especially the Land Contamination Risk Management guidance, is at the core of good practice. New guidance from the BSI and others will be summarised. The process of establishing good practice, and how you can get involved in this process, will be described. It will summarise what good practice can be on PFAS from CIRIA, the Environment Agency, the UK Committee of Toxicity, NICOLE and beyond.

Climate change will result in extreme weather events with more precipitation, pronounced droughts, extremes in temperature, stronger winds and more wildfires. This Toolbox Talk goes through what the EA Land Contamination Risk Management (LCRM) guidance expects at each stage in terms of how climate change and extreme weather events affect the outcomes. You will see that there is a clear break between each Stage so you can jump straight to that section if you want.

Per and poly fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of synthetic chemicals known for their extreme resistance to chemical and biological breakdown as a result of the incredibly strong carbon-fluorine bonds in their structure. Some behave as surfactants and have been used to form foams to smother fires. Others are used for a range of purposes in textiles, electronics, food wrapping and cooking utensils to name but a very few uses. Once released in the environment many PFAS are persistent, mobile, toxic and bioaccumulative. Some "precursors" can naturally transform in the environment or after being taken up in the body to "terminal" fully fluorinated structures. Some are carcinogenic and for many there is very little if any information on how potent their toxicity is. Regulatory attention has grown over the past thirty years and public awareness has been heightened by high profile cases, notably in the USA and Australia. This tool box talk is an introduction to the universe of PFAS sturtctures, their uses, investigation, analysis, risk assessment and remediation. It is a starting point for a journey we will all be on for many years to come.
