After 15½ memorable years with ALS I will be retiring at the end of December and passing the baton over to Angela Turner, who will head up our Sales and Client Service Teams for UK Food business and Lucy Bowen, who will do likewise for our UK Environmental business unit. I have been fortunate to work with some great businesses in both the food and environmental industries during this time and I would like to take this final opportunity to thank all our clients for supporting ALS over the years. ‘Client first’ is an integral part of our DNA and I hope that we have repaid your trust in us with the service we have given you. On behalf of everyone at ALS, may I wish you a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

The UK’s Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) has announced that guidelines for monitoring and mitigating PFAS have been updated. Water companies are expected to consider the effect of combined concentrations of PFAS chemicals of interest in drinking water and include “sum of” 48 PFAS. In addition, monitoring by water companies has highlighted a further PFAS of potential concern – 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonamide alkylbetaine (6:2 FTAB), which has now been added as the 48th PFAS on the DWI’s list of PFAS chemicals of interest. Companies operating in the UK are expected to implement “sum of” PFAS reporting, as well as monitoring of 6:2 FTAB by 1 January 2025. To help our clients stay informed on the rapidly changing PFAS global regulatory environment, we have just published an update on important new and upcoming PFAS legislation in the UK, EU, US & Canada.
