PFAS Site Profiles

Thirteen site profiles for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were developed by Jacobs as part of the Environment Agency PFAS Risk Screening Project (Phases 1 to 4 carried out between 2020 to 2025). They focus on specific industry sectors, representing potentially important sources of PFAS, whether from use or manufacture, with the potential for release into the environment.

The site profiles can be downloaded individually by title below or as a single combined pdf -

• PFAS Site Profile 01 - Civil and military airfields (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 02 - Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulated Sites (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 03 - Fire-fighting Grounds and Fire Stations (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 04 - Landfills (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 05 - Metal Manufacturing and Finishing (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 06 - Military Bases (other than Air Transport Sites) (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 07 - Oil and Gas Industry (onshore exploration and extraction operations) (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 08 - Paper and Cardboard Manufacturing (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 09 - Refineries and Fuel Sites (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 10 - Textiles, Upholstery, Leather, Apparel and Carpets (TULAC) Manufacturing (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 11 - Waste Water Treatment Works (2026)

Additional site profiles which do not relate directly to a particular site type have been developed for the following subject areas, which have potential applications within many different site types:

• PFAS Site Profile 12 - Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) (2026)
• PFAS Site Profile 13 - Fire Suppression Systems (2026)
