New ground gas protection group

The Property Care Association (PCA) has created the Ground Gas Protection Group to support industry specialists within the sector. Steve Hodgson, chief executive of the PCA, said: “We are seeing ground gas protection come increasingly under the radar. Contributing factors include changes driven by regulatory bodies, as well as a greater demand for the development of land which might be potentially contaminated and needs a level of protection from gases generated in the ground, including radon, methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and VOCs. The group’s aim is to create a resource where professionals and homeowners can find qualified, skilled and experienced experts who specialist in ground gas protection; and developing the resources to inform a wider audience of the need to understand and manage the challenges associated with harmful ground gases.
