PFAS Risk Screening Project Phase 4, Work Package 5 - Landfill Emissions Assessment

Award outcome

Description

This notice sets out the strategy for procuring the project titled Landfill Emissions Assessment. This work programme is sub-divided into four 'Lots' which sit under the overarching PFAS Risk Screening Project which is now entering Phase 4 (2022 - 2025). The wider PFAS Risk Screening Project, aims to assess and tackle the risks arising from a group of "forever chemicals" which are contaminating soil, groundwater, surface waters and gases that may pose a risk to human health. These four 'lots' build on previous work undertaken jointly by the EA and Defra on PFAS and a wider range of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). These chemicals are causing a global pollution problem. And the nature and scale of the problem in the UK is only now being fully realised. The objective of this work programme is to improve our overall understanding of the scale and extent of PFAS, POPs and other hazardous substances from landfill emissions (leachate and gases) and their potential impact pathways on the terrestrial/fresh and water/marine environments. The programme will therefore build an overall picture of landfill leachate and gaseous substances that are known to be, or that we suspect to be, harmful to the environment and explore their potential exposure pathways. This may be used to inform policy and regulation.
