Tests by the Environment Agency have detected a plume of vinyl chloride in groundwater — a product of the breakdown of chlorinated solvents, one of the main chemicals handled by Banner. Dr Jason Gerhard , a hydrogeologist based at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, described this as particularly worrying. The director of Banner Chemicals, Colin Boyle, said that the company was not aware of any chemical leak at their east London facility.

We seek to implement best practice industry standards and to comply with all of the regulations that relate to installations of the kind we operate. You mention an incident involving some chemicals but I do not know what you are referring to and so you will appreciate that I am not in a position to comment," he said.

Banner Chemicals was established in Since leaving its east London facility, it has moved to a 5. Until recently, chemical distributors such as Banner Chemicals did not fall under Environment Agency regulations. In , however, the law changed and officials inspected the site — but did not detect such serious contamination. You have to know where to look.

The best that will be possible now is just to contain the spill so that the contaminated water does not leave the zone of contamination and endanger human health. Another solution may be to inject bacteria deep underground that break down chlorinated solvents into non-toxic ethene — but it would be extremely expensive and rarely leaves the water drinkable, said Gerhard.
