PACE® PROVIDES PFAS TESTING SERVICES TO A WIDE VARIETY OF INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT SECTORS.
Jump to Industry and/or Entity:
AIRPORTS
One of the more frequent contributors to PFAS contamination in local communities is the AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) used to fight aviation fires. In early 2023, the Department of Defense (DOD) approved performance specifications for fluorine-free foams (F3). This paves the way for the elimination of AFFF from commercial aviation as well. However, since PFAS do not readily biodegrade, contamination from years of use can remain in the local environment. Pace® can test local groundwater and soils to determine the level of PFAS contamination around the airport. We can also test legacy stockpiles of AFFF as well as the new AFFF substitutes to determine if they contain PFAS.
CONSUMER PRODUCTS
The number of states banning PFAS in consumer products is growing, and consumers are starting to look for PFAS-free labeling on products. Pace® PFAS testing services can help consumer products manufacturers and retailers achieve industry safety certifications, protect their market share, and foster consumer trust in the products they sell.
DOD AND OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES
Pace® partners with the DOD and other agencies in the development of new PFAS test methods for non-potable waters and solids. We’re also DOD ELAP accredited and offer QSM-compliant PFAS testing across a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous matrices for DOD and civil projects.DRY CLEANERS
Dry cleaners are already some of the most highly regulated businesses. Now, thanks to multiple studies on PFAS environmental contamination on active and former dry cleaning sites, the industry may find itself the target of additional regulatory actions by state regulators and the U.S. EPA. Pace® PFAS testing services and our PFAS Treatability Studies can help you be ready.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING
From performing site assessments for real estate transactions to helping businesses understand their liability risks, environmental consultants are crucial in the fight to address PFAS contamination and protect public health. By providing expertise and a wide array of testing services, Pace® is the go-to resource for many of the county’s leading environmental consulting firms.INDUSTRY AND MANUFACTURING
The U.S. EPA, Congress, and many state legislatures and regulatory agencies have stepped up their focus on businesses that use PFAS in production or include it as an ingredient or component in finished goods. Pace® is a leader in PFAS analysis. As you develop your PFAS testing program, our emerging contaminants experts are happy to assist in selecting the appropriate methods to provide fast, defensible results.LANDFILLS
Approximately 95% of landfills studied by the U.S. EPA were found to have PFAS in their leachate. It’s no longer a matter of “if” but “when” landfills will be subject to PFAS discharge limits under NPDES permitting. Pace® provides PFAS testing services for leachate, groundwater, and other environmental matrices to help our landfill clients get ahead of pending regulations.LOCAL & STATE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
Many communities are just starting to understand the prevalence of PFAS in the environment and its impact on human health. This growing awareness puts civic leaders on the hot seat as citizens and the media press for answers. Pace® PFAS testing services can help you determine the level of PFAS contamination in your community and its source.MUNICIPALITIES
City officials are charged with keeping residents safe and ensuring a constant supply of safe, clean drinking water. This includes being able to identify likely sources of PFAS and how PFAS can spread from these sources to the municipal water supply. Pace® has the information you need to know and can meet the PFAS testing requirements of communities, large and small.TRIBAL LANDS
Tribal officials have many of the same concerns as other community leaders, and Tribal Lands are subject to many of the same regulations. Unfortunately, they don’t always have access to the same resources, and the sources of PFAS contamination aren’t always under their control. Pace® is a go-to resource in the effort to ensure Tribal communities have access to safe, clean drinking water.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Wastewater Treatment Operators need to be concerned about PFAS entering their facilities through wastewater discharge, stormwater runoff, and landfill leachate. Since traditional wastewater treatment does not destroy or remove PFAS, biosolids and treated wastewater discharged into the environment may also contain PFAS. Pace® provides testing services for influent and effluent as well as biosolids.REASONS TO CHOOSE PACE®
