PFAS
analysis
why test your water for pfas?
Forever chemicals are linked to serious health risks such as cancer, liver damage, and developmental issues. As regulations tighten and awareness grows, ensuring your water is free from PFAS helps protect public health, comply with laws, and prevent costly legal liabilities. By proactively testing, you demonstrate a commitment to safety, environmental responsibility, and public trust, while also potentially saving on future remediation costs.
Together, EPA Method 533, 1633, and 8327 offer a robust and reliable framework for PFAS analysis, allowing laboratories to meet the diverse testing needs of environmental consultants, construction firms, and regulatory bodies.
epa method 8327
EPA Method 8327 is primarily used for non-potable water sources, such as industrial discharge or surface water, and also utilizes liquid chromatography paired with mass spectrometry. This method is particularly useful for identifying PFAS in complex water samples where the presence of interfering substances might otherwise hinder accurate detection.
epa method 1633
EPA Method 1633 is designed for a broader range of matrices, including wastewater, surface water, groundwater, soil, biosolids, and tissue. This method covers a wide spectrum of PFAS compounds, employing advanced LC-MS/MS techniques to provide comprehensive profiling of PFAS contamination across different environmental media.
epa method 533
EPA Method 533 is used for the analysis of short-chain PFAS compounds in drinking water. It focuses on compounds that are typically more mobile and persistent in the environment, utilizing solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for sensitive and accurate detection.
