Conclusion
Whilst the PFAS Plan sets out monitoring commitments, it lacks the specificity needed to inform and deliver action. Without clear requirements on what to monitor, the methods to use, and the thresholds for concern, and without adequate funding and laboratory capacity, the Environment Agency cannot enforce limits or identify risks in time to act. (Conclusion, Paragraph 83)
