Description

Developing risk assessment approaches for PFAS and watch list parameters under the recast Drinking Water Directive. The research project conducted first assessments of the potential presence of PFAS, 17β-estradiol, and nonylphenol for drinking water supply sources in Scotland, to identify high risk areas and enable prioritisation of monitoring and additional knowledge generation. Having identified these areas now allows more targeted risk-based monitoring to aid our understanding of presence of the substances, their sources and treatment requirements. This in turn will inform best strategies and actions to reduce concentrations of the contaminants not only in drinking water, but also to manage their release into the environment.
