More on our toxicology services

After two years of virtual events, we are delighted to host our second in-person and virtual Wet Networks, Chaired by WRc's Director of Commercial Services, Carmen Snowdon.

We all know that proper water and sanitation is essential to public health. However, there are additional benefits from proximity to water with many positive measures of physical and mental wellbeing, from its restorative psychological effects to better a place to meet socially.

Now in its fifteenth year, Wet Networks showcases new ideas and technology to help transform the way we manage water.  Join us at our next Wet Networks event, in person at Arup, London or virtually.  The theme will be Water, Public Health and Wellbeing. Hear from our keynote presenter, Patricia O’Hayer, Global Head Communications & Government Affairs at Reckitt about current and future water scarcity impacts on public health.
