Contamination
Lithium-ion batteries, while prevalent in our daily lives, harbour hidden risks. The major fire incident at London Luton Airport serves as a stark reminder. Lessons learned from this event emphasise the need for fire-resistant construction in car parks, increased spacing between EV parking spots, and robust policy wordings for insurers to mitigate risks. Join us as we delve into the Luton Airport case study - an unprecedented incident that propelled us to address the perils posed by lithium-ion batteries and to develop effective remediation strategies.
