PFAS and other emerging contaminants have become some of the most significant liabilities facing landowners, asset managers and utilities affecting water, wastewater and soils. Their persistence in the environment, alongside other recalcitrant compounds, is driving heightened regulatory scrutiny and deepening concern for human health and ecological protection.

​

There is demand for more informed, proactive and collaborative strategies. 

​

Organisations will need to balance the operational and financial implications of identifying, assessing and treating these contaminants with wider responsibilities to communities, regulatory compliance and long-term asset stewardship. The next few years will be pivotal as regulatory frameworks tighten, scientific understanding evolves and expectations for robust remediation and risk management accelerate. 

​

Environment Analyst’s new free-to-access guide will bring together thought leadership, case studies and examples of best practice to help landowners, investors, treatment operators, developers, regulators and government bodies navigate this complex and fast-moving area.

​

Chapters include:

​

  • An Introduction to Emerging Contaminants 

  • Investigating the Extent of Emerging Contaminant Risk     

  • Site Characterisation and Investigation 

  • A Guide to the Sampling & Analysis of New Emerging Contaminants 

  • PFAS Risk Monitor 

  • PFAS – The Cost of Remediation    

  • The Science of PFAS Interactions, and Why it Matters   

  • A Risk-Based Approach to Phasing Out AFFF 

  • Short and Ultra-Short Chain PFAS Compounds – The Next Generation 

  • Remediating PFAS in Surface Water   

  • Remediating PFAS in Soil and Groundwater   

  • Monitoring and Testing PFAS in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) 

  • Understanding PFAS Fate and Removal Efficiencies Across Treatment Technologies   

  • Understanding and Treating Recalcitrant Compounds in Wastewater Systems 

  • Treating and Remediating Recalcitrant Compounds with Nature-Based Solutions   

  • PFAS and the EU Soil Monitoring Law   

  • Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals Risk Monitor    

  • Delivering a Successful Endocrine Disruptor Assessment 

  • The Growing Risk: The 6PPD-Quinone Challenge

DELIVERING RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE

Embodied-carbon,-header-picture.png

With increasing risks from extreme weather events and nature depletion, it's more important than ever to ensure infrastructure assets are resilient. This guide provides ​expert advice and practical steps to help infrastructure asset owners and investors, construction and engineering organisations, and those that work in Federal, State and Local planning, permitting or policy, to deliver more resilient, sustainable projects.

 

The Guide includes tips on:

​

  • Adopting nature-based solutions and nature positive infrastructure

  • Harnessing the potential of digital twins to maximise return on investment

  • How to measure, report and reduce embodied carbon in the construction industry

  • Improving ROI with natural capital and environmental net gain

  • Using the Nature-Positive Infrastructure Playbook for sustainable development

  • Making your project investable by embedding ESG throughout delivery

2025 will herald the arrival of the first sustainability statements prepared in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Over 50,000 EU-based companies and approximately 10,400 non-EU enterprises are required to publicly disclose and report on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.

​

This Guide shares recommendations on:

 

  • How to mitigate risks associated with CSRD implementation

  • Best practice approaches to double materiality assessment

  • Strategies to overcome data collection and analysis challenges

  • How to maximise the opportunities of CSRD

NET ZERO AND THE SCOPE 3 CHALLENGE

shutterstock_2204089029.jpg

By definition, scope 3 emissions are outside the direct operations of an organisation, so they are difficult to quantify and even harder to influence. Reporting and addressing these emissions brings an element of risk, making it all the more important to establish rigorous and transparent procedures to do so.

 

This Guide will help you to understand:

​

  • The importance of carbon accounting

  • Which carbon reporting standard and frameworks to use

  • How to account for scope 3 emissions, understand the role of technology and deal with issues of data quality

  • How to use carbon offsets

  • How to move beyond scope 3 to 'avoided emissions'

Policy makers and businesses play a pivotal role in stabilising and restoring habitats and reversing biodiversity loss, not least because those habitats and species are critical to economic growth.

 

Emerging frameworks will see investors attach significant weight to the value of nature-based reporting and action to safeguard habitats. Meanwhile, asset owners are utilising nature-based solutions to develop resilience to climate change.

 

This Guide will help you:

​

  • Understand how the COP15 Kunming-Montreal Agreement will impact long-term policy and business reporting

  • Prepare for the TNFD through the acquisition of data and the application of real methodologies

  • Embed natural capital accounting as part of the Natural Capital Protocol into your decision-making capabilities

  • Improve the funding and financing of construction and infrastructure projects using biodiversity credits and nature-positive approach
