Presenting the purpose of the guidance, Lee Bell of @toxicsfree.bsky.social highlights that the guidance provides an updated & comprehensive guidance to address new POPs such as PFAS. It is aimed to support parties who have yet to establish a POP contaminated sites management framework.

Delving deep into the Guidance, BAT/BEP EG member Boudewijn Fokke presents its 9 modules, underscoring how POP contaminated soil requires treatments to degrade or eliminate POP concentrations until they meet acceptable site-specific risk levels and restore soil functions.

Presenting case studies in #Indonesia of POPs contaminated sites, such as open-dumping landfills, waste colonialism, and nickel slags, Yuyun Ismawati of Nexus3 Foundation underscores greater need to fill gaps in regulatory frameworks, with which the new guidance can help.

"Remediation should be as thorough as resources allow to avoid legacy contamination remaining on-site for future generations."
