A concerning aspect of PFAS is that they can accumulate indefinitely in the environment and in living organisms. Their highly durable nature has led scientists to investigate the long-term effects of these chemicals on the body and the environment, with alarming results.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, PFAS are linked to several health issues, including immunosuppression and certain types of cancer. Consequently, and unsurprisingly, regulators are now aiming to tighten the regulation of PFAS chemicals to limit ongoing risks.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><u>Regulatory Landscape in the UK<\/u><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>PFAS are currently regulated under the UK REACH regime (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals). However, only a limited number of specific PFAS are restricted for use in the UK. For example, PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) are types of chemicals within the PFAS category and have been listed as Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), making it illegal (with limited exceptions) to manufacture or use them in the UK and requiring their removal from products and waste streams.<\/p>\n<p>The emerging risks associated with PFAS use are being closely monitored, with the HSE initiating a six-month consultation earlier this year on the use of PFAS in firefighting foam. UK regulation lags behind other countries; for example, the US has already declared PFAS a critical contamination crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Although the UK regulatory framework for PFAS is still in its early stages, the Environmental Agency has begun assessing the risks. It has identified over 10,000 \u201chigh risk\u201d sites believed to contain elevated PFAS levels. Some of the highest-risk sites include firefighting foam manufacturing plants, RAF bases, and airports.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><u>Emerging Risks for the Insurance Sector<\/u><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>PFAS present a complex challenge for insurers. They pose potential long-tail liabilities, similar to claims arising from asbestos or environmental pollution, arising from historic use. Moreover, the increased focus of regulators and claimants on PFAS means insurers must navigate a rapidly changing risk that spans numerous lines of insurance \u2013 including general liability, product liability, environmental impairment, directors &amp; officers, as well as property and speciality lines.<\/p>\n<p>Insurers&#8217; response to this uncertain risk exposure has been to introduce specific exclusions, often based on existing pollution exclusion clauses. For instance, insurers may add a clause excluding any claims \u201c<em>arising out of, resulting from or relating to PFAS of any kind<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 Of course, such exclusions will not be relevant to the extent cover attaches to expired policies.<\/p>\n<p>Lloyd\u2019s has also issued standard PFAS exclusion wordings, LMA5595A and LMA5596A<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><u>Types of Claims<\/u><\/strong><\/h5>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Nuisance Claims<\/strong>: arising from contamination of public drinking water and environmental cleanup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal injury Claims<\/strong>: resulting from exposure to PFAS in everyday products.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Property Damage\/Diminution of Value Claims<\/strong>: caused by PFAS seeping into the ground from industrial manufacturers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>False Advertising &amp; Product Labelling<\/strong>: Due to products failing to identify the dangers of PFAS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5><strong><u>The New Asbestos?<\/u><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The insurance market has been questioning whether PFAS will become the \u201cnext asbestos\u201d, as both are similar in that they were once widespread, marketed as safe, and only later revealed to be potentially dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>However, a key difference between PFAS and asbestos is that exposure to many different types of PFAS is unavoidable in the modern world, whereas asbestos exposure can usually be traced back to a specific place and time to establish a cause. This causal link is likely to be far more difficult to establish in the context of PFAS exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, unlike in asbestos claims, no disease has been solely linked to PFAS exposure. This complicates the process of directly attributing the development of diseases such as cancer to PFAS, requiring substantial expert evidence to support the claim that the claimant would not have developed the disease without specific PFAS exposure.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><u>UK PFAS Litigation<\/u><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Although PFAS litigation is advancing through US courts with multimillion-dollar settlements already reached, UK litigation remains in the early stages. So far, there have been no PFAS cases litigated in UK courts, but two British law firms have announced investigations into PFAS contamination cases. While formal proceedings may take time, we might soon see the first UK group action application for PFAS.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, to date, there have been no regulatory actions; however, the UK Environment Agency or local authorities could designate contaminated sites for remediation in the future. Companies might then face clean-up costs and seek insurance coverage for those expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the lack of UK personal injury claims may stem from the difficulty in proving a causal link between exposure and injury. While legal systems in countries like the US are more claimant-friendly in this regard, the UK requires evidence that a defendant\u2019s actions caused the harm. The widespread presence of PFAS compounds further complicates this issue. There is no precedent in the UK for relaxing causation standards for PFAS, unlike asbestos, where English law permits more lenient rules for mesothelioma causation.<\/p>\n<p>If and when PFAS claims arise, several key coverage questions will need to be answered, including whether PFAS claims constitute \u201cpollution\u201d and whether the contamination was sudden or gradual. When did an \u201coccurrence\u201d of contamination or injury happen (continuous trigger or not)? Can a claimant\u2019s blood PFAS levels amount to an \u201cinjury\u201d within the policy period?<\/p>\n<h5><strong><u>Conclusion<\/u><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>PFAS present an increasing challenge across various sectors due to their persistence, health hazards, and complex liability concerns. Their extensive use, environmental durability, and potential health effects have led to heightened scrutiny and regulatory measures. However, the UK\u2019s response via regulators and the Courts is still in its early phases compared to other jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>As UK regulation and litigation evolve, proactive risk management and continuous vigilance will be essential to navigate the uncertainties associated with these \u201cforever chemicals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> https:\/\/lmalloyds.imiscloud.com\/LMA_Bulletins\/LMA23-035-TC.aspx<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fenchurchlaw.com\/people\/chloe-franklin\/\">Chloe Franklin<\/a> is an Assoicate at Fenchurch Law<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fenchurch Law considers the impact of PFAS on the UK insurance sector, following the rise of litigation progressing through the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":2198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[296],"class_list":["post-2197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-property-risks"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>PFAS \u2013 Out of the Frying Pan into the Court Room?
