The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) will collaborate with various stakeholders to trace PFAS sources, their environmental pathways, and mitigate exposure, focusing on soil sampling and understanding agricultural contributions. Key concerns include PFAS in pesticides and biosolids, with ongoing research to assess their effects on soil properties and potential reforms in sludge regulation.
