Home / PFAS Matrices / Ground & Surface Waters
Since many communities get their drinking water from ground and surface waters, protecting these sources can be key to protecting community health.
The U.S. EPA has announced several initiatives designed to assess and control PFAS contamination in groundwater and surface waters across the country.
Evaluate the risk from additional PFAS
Restrict PFAS discharge from industrial sources
Designate PFAS as a hazardous substance
The EPA will seek to hold polluters and other responsible parties accountable for their actions and for PFAS remediation efforts. In its Strategic Plan, the agency mentions more than a dozen industries by name. Risk assessment and mitigation will be more important than ever for businesses in these sectors.
Several methods are available to analyze PFAS in ground and surface waters. Pace® can help you select the right method based on the medium and the goals of your project.
Pace® method for targeted PFAS
Quality control standards for PFAS testing
Recently developed method for targeted PFAS
Under development. Targets additional PFAS
Low-volume test method for total organofluorines (TOF)
Less costly, but less-precise method for analyzing for TOF
Method for analyzing PFAS precursors in a liquid matrix
We’re certified/accredited by NELAC, ISO, DOD, DOE, and in every state with a PFAS lab certification program.
For emergencies, our Rapid Response Team can provide defensible results in as little as 24 hours.
We are committed to helping our customers advance their important work through building strong relationships, delivering upon expectations, and providing exceptional customer service.
We can test for PFAS in both solid and aqueous matrices, including potable and non-potable waters, soils, and biota.
We’re on the leading edge of science, working with EPA, DOD, ASTM, and others to develop new methods for analyzing PFAS.
