Latest News
Dave Bull's Interview
HAIL Environmental’s Dr. Dave Bull was recently interviewed by Industrial Safety News. In their article “Identifying and remedying land contamination a tricky process” (Spring 2017 issue, pages 10-12) Dave talks about naturally occurring ‘contaminants’ such as fluoride, hydrogen sulfide, asbestos and arsenic. Surprisingly common in New Zealand, naturally occurring contaminants are also surprisingly difficult to identify, manage or remediate. He goes on to discuss arsenic bioavailability assessment as a new tool to assist in risk management at naturally arsenic-rich sites. The full article can be found here. Dave is available on 021 036 7764 to help landowners who may have naturally occurring contaminant issues.
