Interesting debate at the Yorkshire Contaminated Land Forum where Beverley Parrish presented a case study on her experiences as an expert on a High Court case involving PFOS/PFOA. It was noted that there were generally low levels of awareness in the UK at the moment.
Beverley has also undertaken a peer review of a CIRIA briefing note on PFAS and attended the CIRIA Steering Group on the subject. This has resulted in a CIRIA research project on the topic. Beverley's presentation providing a brief outline of PFAS in the UK is given in the downloads section below.

Having committed to the Science Based Targets initiative back in October 2021, one of Beverley's clients will be submitting its targets in the next few weeks. It's all hands on deck to finalise all the Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions data for our baseline year of 2021 and the most recent year 2022. Targets should be approved by October 2023.

Delighted to be given the opportunity to speak again at the Willis Towers Watson Latin American Oil and Gas Conference. This year it was held in Buenos Aries in November 2017. Beverley Parrish presented on hydraulic fracturing in the region. It was an excellent event and great to catch up with the WTW team and their clients.
