Hi all.

Should be an interesting watch on Itv1 tonight at 2215, must be within ITV news at Ten. There’s an article on PFAS at that time.

They asked us to feature in it based on our academic work, but the timings were just too early as our academic reports are not due for release just yet.

The gist of the article is about firefighting foam manufacturing and its impact on the wider environment at places like Bentham (Angus Fire).

Itv will come back to us for an update when the PFAS work is done from UCLAN.

There is also a news article on Tuesday on ITV too, which we do feature in.
