WHAT ARE PFAS?
PFAS are a diverse group of compounds resistant to heat, water, and oil. For decades, they have been used in hundreds of industrial applications and consumer products such as carpeting, apparel, upholstery, certain paper food packaging, firefighting foams, and metal plating.
PFAS are bioaccumulative, meaning they can build up in the bloodstream and human tissue. Since at least the 80s, research has found links between PFOS and PFOA (2 common PFAS chemicals) and a number of health problems such as chronic kidney disease, thyroid issues, certain types of cancers, etc. More recent research is establishing some of the same health issues with many other PFAS compounds, including those intended to replace PFOS and PFOA.
PFAS CONCERNS CUT ACROSS SECTORS
PRIMARY MATRICES
There are several test methods available to detect PFAS. Choosing
the right method requires knowing what you’re testing and why.
PFAS REGULATIONS
Hopefully, your client has shared their regulatory concerns during your discovery sessions. Still, it never hurts to brush up on the myriad of PFAS health advisories, regulations, guidance, and proposals.
Visit our PFAS Regulations page to learn more about the latest actions.
ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT (ESA) SUPPORT
Now that the EPA has designated PFOA and PFOS hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), including PFAS in your site assessments is more important than ever.
