Health Screening
In May 2024 it was revealed that High Bentham has the highest level Forever-chemicals (PFAS) in the UK. PFAS can cause cancer and other health issues (Auto Immune, fertility issues, developmental issues etc). Since then we have discovered that this pollution can affect; anyone along the Rivers Wenning and Lune, WhiteLund Industrial estate (1976-1999), anyone who has had trout from the Local Trout farm, any farmer that utilities Bio Solids from the Bentham WWTW possibly contaminating farmland, farm equipment and farm workers.
If you would like to know if your health has been impacted by PFAS due to living near or working at any of the possible pollution receptors above, please join the blood screening program.

Why and what?
Why?
So we can promote the levels of PFAS pollution in the human body in the vicinity of the Angus Fire plant, the Lune, Wenning and other locations where Angus Fire was operational with foam production, testing or storage.
Anyone testing can opt out of us using results.

For example: “out of 30 people in Bentham tested, x number registered had higher than normal PFAS is 80ug/l we found that x number of people had x ug/l in their blood.
