Water Utilities use HazEL to track, prioritize, and assess human health and environmental risks from chemicals.
The platform uses a proprietary model to identify chemicals of emerging concern, filter extensive amounts of scientific literature and the associated high quality data, and streamline resource allocation to systemise and improve water management and regulatory compliance.
Key Benefits for Water Utilities
Chemical Prioritization: Ranks and compares chemicals using toxicity and exposure parameters to determine which substances require immediate attention.
Horizon Scanning: Monitors new academic research and changing regulations to identify emerging contaminants before they become major treatment crises.
Streamlined Compliance: Distills complex scientific and regulatory data into actionable metrics, optimizing safety and testing protocols.
Wastewater Compliance
Effluent Monitoring: Identifies unregulated industrial compounds, plasticizers, and pharmaceuticals ending up in sewage streams before they breach environmental discharge limits.
Risk-Based Prioritisation: Directs local testing and advanced treatment upgrades (such as activated carbon or ozonation) toward the most ecologically harmful residues.
Drinking Water Safety
Source Protection: Scans academic literature to flag newly discovered toxic breakdown products in watersheds and raw intake supplies.
Proactive Protocols: Translates complex data into clear metrics, allowing utilities to adapt monitoring protocols and safeguard tap water quality ahead of formal mandates
