Prevalence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the environment and the effectiveness of current water treatment processes

Fluorinated organic chemicals have a wide range of industrial uses including medicine, agriculture and household products. Many of these chemicals are released directly into the environment as part of their use or lost through fugitive emissions. What makes these chemicals so persistent in the environment, is the strength of the carbon-fluorine bond (-CF3). The carbon-fluorine bond is resistant to degradation in the environment which results in the release of TFA as a terminal residue, following environmental degradation of the parent materials. TFA is a very persistent and mobile contaminant which is present ubiquitously in the environment . TFA is a short chain perfluorinated chemical which has not been classified as of toxicological concern . However, there is ongoing and increasing emissions of TFA from anthropogenic sources, and its prevalence in the environment and risk to drinking water supplies needs to be better understood. A recent research project, conducted by the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) estimated that pesticides have the highest potential release of TFA into water bodies, which has been estimated at 434 tonnes per year . In addition, the recorded TFA levels in rainwater in Germany have increased fourfold in two decades . Although this information has been concluded using data from Germany, it is reasonable to assume that the situation is similar in other European countries, and the UK too. There are not currently any regulations in place to identify and reduce the concentrations of TFA in the environment or drinking water supplies in England and Wales. However, the UBA has set a human health-based guideline value of 60 µg/L for TFA in drinking water and a "precautionary measure" of 10 µg/L, which is based on liver toxicity . This project will provide a comparison between raw and treated water sources to give an indication on the effect of current water treatment processes on the removal or degradation of TFA and will consider the risk to drinking water quality.

GB-Banbury: Construction, Demolition and Excavation (CDE) Waste Arising Survey Northern Ireland

Consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy. The construction sector is a crucial industry for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the long term. One-third of material consumption and 26% of carbon dioxide emissions come from this sector globally. The recent Circularity Gap Report: Northern Ireland highlighted agriculture and construction as Northern Ireland's most material- and emission-intensive sectors. Infrastructure, housing, and repair and maintenance are still the construction sector's most important activities in both Northern Ireland and the UK. DAERA wish to consider the inclusion of the construction, demolition and excavation waste sector as a contributor to meeting the above referenced 70% recycling target. Accurately quantifying C&D waste is very challenging due to limitations on reporting, the sector generating C&D waste being diverse and tonnages frequently being estimated rather than weighed. The objectives of this work are to: Produce reliable data estimates of the quantities, fates and composition of CDE Waste in Northern Ireland in 2023/24. This data is required to: Inform progress towards the statutory EU target Inform progress towards the Climate Change Act target. Assist with the development of appropriate policy initiatives / interventions, if and where required, to boost waste prevention, reuse, and increase recycling of these waste streams in line with circular economy ambitions. The study will include an element of primary data gathering through surveys, as well as use of existing information. Specifically, this study should: Generate reliable estimates of the amount of CDE waste arising in Northern Ireland in 2023/24, including waste dealt with on the CDE sites, waste sent off site for management at a licensed or exempt sites, waste sent for beneficial purposes to landfill, and estimation of waste disposed of illegally by SOC and EWC codes; Generate reliable estimates of the amount of CDE waste managed in Northern Ireland in 2023/24, including waste managed both on the site of arising and off site; Provide a breakdown of both waste arising and waste treated by waste type (SOC and EWC codes); Provide a breakdown of the amounts and proportion of material reused, recycled, recovered or sent to landfill; Make a quantified assessment of the carbon impacts of the waste and the costs to Northern Ireland; and Make a quantified assessment of the potential for further reduction, reuse and recycling of the various waste streams.

RDE711 ARC-EO (Agricultural Regulations and Compliance using Earth Observation

Outdoor Pig Farm Detection Project is an innovative initiative designed to enhance agricultural compliance using advanced Earth Observation (EO) technologies. By harnessing high-resolution LiDAR and Sentinel-2 satellite data, the project aims to identify outdoor pig farms using deep learning AI models and evaluate the environmental risks linked to their operations. Building on preliminary work that produced Outdoor pig farm detection layers for select counties in England, this contract seeks to expand these efforts nationwide based on similar methodology and dataset.

Further Competition via ESPO 664_21 (Lot 8b) - WNC Air Quality - Domestic Burning Project

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is leading a DEFRA-funded project (the "Domestic Burning Project") until approximately July 2026. The project is funded as part of the DEFRA Air Quality Grant Scheme 2022-23. This project includes elements that each require specific expertise, and we (WNC) are requesting quotes for an experienced contractor to undertake all these pieces of work. The 4 research elements are listed below with a brief outline of the key outputs: • Element 1: Air quality data collection and research to investigate the impacts of domestic solid fuel burning on internal and external air pollution, including in real-world settings. • Element 3&4: Health and economic impacts evaluation to seek to quantify the impacts of domestic solid fuel burning in public health and in financial terms. • Element 6: Modelling to establish what educative or legislative options are available to WNC and the impacts of these on health and economy. • Element 7: Final Report
