Introduction

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have gained significant attention as an emerging environmental and safety threat in the United States. Since the 1940s, PFAS are ubiquitous in industrial usage due to their chemical stability, thermal stability, and high resistance to degradation. Bioaccumulation at production sites and landfills enable PFAS compounds to leach into the ground and surface water. Contaminated PFAS water is then utilized for human consumption and agricultural applications without the appropriate measures to remove the contaminated particles.

In this whitepaper, discover key insights into United States regulatory requirements and the latest analytical innovations to optimize PFAS analysis, as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Methods 533 and 537.1 as well as emerging methods in non-potable water matrices such as Method 1633.
