Emily Nicholson features on Channel 4 News about 'forever chemicals'

Posted on 13 January 2025

Emily Nicholson was interviewed by Channel 4 News who reported on the "forever chemical" pollution in Bentham, the UK's most PFAS polluted town. Cleaner Bentham, a group of concerned residents and business owners in the small town of Bentham in North Yorkshire, has instructed Mishcon de Reya to work with them in relation to potential claims arising from PFAS contamination detected in shockingly high concentrations in the town of Bentham.  

If legal action is to take place over the PFAS pollution, it would be the first of its kind in the UK. Emily said that Bentham is unlikely to be an isolated case and there are likely to be many more people affected by this issue.
